When you doing force problems/examples for your students,
how do you explain why you choose the coordinate system you
do? I told them I pick the coordinate system that will make it easy.

...where "it" refers specifically to the math involved. All
coordinate systems are equal, but some are more
mathematically convenient to use than others.
