Physketch – TikZ styles and pictures for physics drawings
The package provides TikZ styles, pictures and commands for the drawings found in physics problems: fixed surfaces, bodies and pistons, springs, pulleys, rods and fulcrums, forces and rotation arrows, liquids and glass, light sources, lenses, screens and mirrors, current sources and meters, and engineering-style distances and angles. It also fixes a consistent house style for line widths, gaps and arrow tips.
