Comprehension Quiz 25-01 • If a support prevents rotation of a body about an axis, then the support exerts a ________ on the body about that axis. • A) Couple moment • B) Force • C) Both A and B • D) None of the above. • Answer: A
3-D Equilibrium • Basic Equations Moment equations can also be determined about any point on the rigid body. Typically the point selected is where the most unknown forces are applied. This procedure helps to simplify the solution.
