ENGI 1313 Mechanics I Lecture 11: 2D and 3D Particle Equilibrium
Chapter 3 Objectives • to introduce the concept of the free-body diagram for a particle. • to show how to solve particle equilibrium problems using the equations of equilibrium
Lecture 11 Objectives • to further examine and apply Chapter 3 objectives in 2D and 3D space
F2 F1= mg F2 F1= mg Note on Free Body Diagram • Force Sense and Solution • Negative sign indicates the force sense is opposite that shown on the FBD
Example 11-01 • Each cord can sustain a maximum tension of 200 N Determine the largest weight of the sack that can be supported. Also, determine θ of cord DC for equilibrium.
FBE FCD B C 30 FBC FCB 60 45 FCA FBA FAC FAH FAB A 60 45 H FAH W = mg Example 11-01 (cont.) • Where to Start? Point C 2 Equations 3 Unknowns Point B 2 Equations 3 Unknowns Point H 1 Equation 2 Unknowns but…. Newton’s 3rd Law Point A 2 Equations 3 Unknowns
FAH H W = mg Example 11-01 (cont.) • FBD at Point H • What Cord Will Have the Maximum Tension? • Educated guess • Experience • Theoretical approach • Assume W = 1N • Maximum cord tension • 200 N
FAC FAB A 60 45 FAH = W = 1N Example 11-01 (cont.) • FBD at Point A
Example 11-01 (cont.) • FBD at Point B FBE B 30 FBC 45 FBA = FAB = 0.5176N
Example 11-01 (cont.) • FBD at Point C FCB = FBC = 0.268N FCD C 60 FCA = FAC = 0.7321N
Example 11-01 (cont.) • Cord Forces • Analysis summary unit force • Maximum force • 200 N
Example 11-01 (cont.) • Use of Vector Algebra in Mathematical Software to Solve Mechanics Problems • Mathcad • www.mathcad.com • Engineering calculations • This discussion on the use of Mathcad is just for knowledge • It is not part of any course requirement
Example 11-01 (cont.) • Mathcad Solution • Set-up equilibriumequations
Example 11-01 (cont.) • Mathcad Solution • Uses a command Find to solves a system of linear equations • This system of linear equations is based on the FBD analysis that defines the equilibrium equations (Fx and Fy) • The Find command function requires an initial guess or estimate of the forces and angle ()to start the mathematical search of the solution
Example 11-01 (cont.) • Mathcad Solution • Solve system of equations
Particle Equilibrium in 3D Newton’s 1st Law Cartesian Vector Scalar components = 0 3 Equations Solve for at most 3 unknowns
