Summary description: TikZ-native shapes and anchors for classical physics diagrams
Announcement text:
tikzphysics 1.1.0 adds continuous straight and circular ramp node shapes, sampled contact-surface anchors, and exact local tangent and normal guides. Straight ramps include a labeled acute-angle helper; curved ramps include a configurable horizontal floor before the arc. A new spring node provides exact attachment anchors and configurable leads and coil geometry.
This package is located at https://mirrors.ctan.org/graphics/pgf/contrib/tikzphysics More information is at https://ctan.org/pkg/tikzphysics
Thanks for the upload. For the CTAN Team Manfred Lotz CTAN is run entirely by volunteers and supported by TeX user groups. Please join a user group or donate to one, see https://ctan.org/lugs .

TikZphysics – TikZ-native shapes and anchors for classical physics diagrams
The package extends TikZ with reusable shapes, styles, keys, and geometric anchors for classical-physics diagrams. It provides contact surfaces and inclined planes, blocks and pulleys, and a curved optical lens. All objects use ordinary TikZ node and path syntax, accept unit-aware dimensions, and expose named and parametric anchors for composing larger diagrams.
