[GSoC 2026] Classical Mechanics: Implement Specific Forces and Torques

[Vedant Kadam]

Hello dear SymPy Community,

I'm Vedant Kadam, interested in applying for GSoC 2026 to work on the Classical Mechanics: Forces and Torques project. I recently worked on a PR to SymPy (Dyadic pretty printing fix #29216), giving me experience with the physics.vector module.

I've reviewed the existing Force/Torque infrastructure (PRs #24258, #25518, #26438, #26412) and understand the goal is to expand the library of force models. For a 175-hour project, I'm considering implementing:

• Aerodynamic forces 
• Contact models Controller forces 
• Linear/Nonlinear springs

I'd appreciate your guidance on:

• Which models should be prioritized for maximum user impact? 
• How should this integrate with the biomechanics work? 

I have a background in classical mechanics and Python, and I'm eager to contribute meaningfully to SymPy. Would you be available for a brief discussion about the project scope and expectations?

Best regards, Vedant Kadam
