Inertial Force
Define inertial force:

Fi = - ma
opposite to the acceleration direction

Then

SF + Fi = 0

Problem 6-46
For the windshield wiper linkage shown, determine the instantaneous torque required to drive the system and the side loads onto the motor shaft. The motor rotates at a constant rate of 45 rpm, counterclockwise. The friction force from the rubber blade on the windshield is shown. The wiper and arm assembly weighs 1.2 lbs, the center of gravity is shown and the mass moment of inertia, relative to an axis at the center of gravity, is 0.4 lb in s2. The weight of all other links is negligible.
