Force Analysis Label Changes to improve clarity #53

The type of analysis is said but we do not know the assumptions that are used within the analysis. We should make it clear the process and assumptions that are used. For example, for force analysis, I believe we assume Newton's second law but do not say so. Also, for kinematics, we also utilize the loop based method instead of the instant center method.

Switch order of "Global' and "Equiliabrium" change to static and in-motion. Move input speed to under force settings under gravity.

Force Analysis - we use Static equilibrium method and Newton's second law. Both are two different methods, resulting in two different solutions
