This demo shows a horizontally stacked bar chart to show how various forces contribute to a specific outcome. Each force is depicted by a separate bar, stacked together to visually represent their combined effect. This visualization aids in understanding the interaction between the forces involved, like identifying imbalances and/or each force's significance within that specific outcome.

The data shown on the chart is an approximation of the contribution of forces acting on a spacecraft during its entry, descent, and landing on Mars. The forces include a combination of the most important factors during this phase, such as gravity, drag, powered decent and so on. The chart shows how these forces interact and contribute to the overall outcome, which is to slow the spacecraft down from entry speeds (43,000 km/h or 27,000 mph) to a standstill on the surface.

Note: The data shown is arbitrary, illustrative, and does not reflect the strength of actual forces in a Mars EDL (Entry, Descent, Landing) sequence. It aims to broadly demonstrate the key dynamics affecting the spacecraft during EDL and the relative impact of these forces. The force distribution is not entirely to scale and is intended solely to illustrate the concept of a stacked bar 'force' chart.
