  1. Forging new generations of engineers

  2. Free Body Diagrams A lesson on creating force diagrams

  3. In This Lesson: • What are free body diagrams, and how are they used? • What are the types of forces? • How do we create free body diagrams? • How do free body diagrams apply to pulley systems? • How do free body diagrams apply to trusses?

  4. What is a Free Body Diagram?

  5. Newton’s Third Law • For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. THE TOP ROCK PUSHES DOWN ON THE BOTTOM ROCK THE BOTTOM ROCK PUSHES BACK UPWARD ON THE TOP ROCK

  6. What is a Force? • A push or a pull acting on an object as the result of an interaction with another object.

  7. Types of Forces • Applied force: one object acts on another Wind pushing on the boat Fapp

  8. Types of Forces • Tension force: transmitted through string, cable, wire, rope, or chain Rope pulling on the boat Ftens θ

  9. Types of Forces • Gravity force: weight; the mass of the Earth pulling on the mass of the boat Gravity pulling the mass of the boat down W

  10. Types of Forces • Normal force: support force Water pushing back up on the boat FN

  11. Types of Forces • Friction force: opposes the motion of the object Water pulling on boat Ff

  12. What is a Free Body? • Substitute a simple shape for the object being analyzed. Fapp Ftens Ff W FN
