Statics and Basic Mechanics What you forgot from basic physics
Forces: In The General Vector Quantities Magnitude and Direction Statics Balanced Forces = No Acceleration
Forces: Compression Aspect Ratio Matters
Forces: Tension Aspect Ratio Doesn’t Matter
Carrying Forces (loads) Tension
Carrying Forces (loads) Smooth Surfaces
Carrying Forces (loads) Rough Surfaces
Carrying Forces (loads) Roller Supports
Carrying Forces (loads) Sliding Joints
Carrying Forces (loads) Pin Connection
Carrying Forces (loads) Fixed Support
The Basis of Statics F=Ma=0 SF=Ma=0 SM=Ma=0
Examining an Object/Building/Robot: 1) How is the weight of the thing supported? 2) How does it change if it is under motion? 3) Other interesting aspects of the device? Draw a free body diagram of part 1
