We have an exciting announcement about badges coming in May 2025. Until then, we will temporarily stop issuing new badges for course completions and certifications. However, all completions will be recorded and fulfilled after May 2025.

If Coordinate System_Bolt1 is a cylindrical system, X is the sum of the radial forces and Y is the sum of the tangential forces.  Only the cylindrical Z force is comparable to the Global Z and they do match.   So the tangential forces will tend to be large as they are resisting the moment in addition to the reaction force.
