  1. 4.1Introduction 1. Draw complete free-body diagrams for the coplanar force systems. 2. Apply the three equations of equilibrium : CHAPTER 4 - EQUILIBRIUM This chapter studies one of the most important section of statics, where a body remains in equilibrium under the action of a system of forces and couples. Upon completion of this chapter, the student will be able Fx = 0 Fy = 0 M= 0

  2. 4.2 Equilibrium Newton’s First Law states that “ Every body remains at rest or maintains a constant velocity in a straight line unless an unbalanced force acts upon it. A body is said to be in equilibrium if the forces and moment acting on it are balanced, and the body remains at rest or, if it is in motion, there is no tendency for it to change its speed or direction. Hence for static equilibrium to occur: • Vertical forces must be balance; Fy = 0 • Horizontal forces must be balance; Fx = 0 • Moments must balance ie. ccw = cw; M= 0

  3. 4.3 Free-Body Diagrams (F.B.D.) Draw the object showing all the forces acting on it. • Start by drawing the body floating freely in space without any supports or connections like rollers, pinned joints etc. 2. Draw in all the known external applied forces on the body, and include the weight if given, acting vertically downwards from the centre of gravity (C.G) of the body. 3. Replace the supports or connections with the type of reaction forces on the body at these points (according to table 3.1 in the next slide) 4. Finally fill in information on slope angles,lengths or distances, etc for the analysis

  14. Example 4.3 Two forces are in a state of equilibrium with a load of mass M kg as shown in the figure below. Determine the magnitude of force F and the mass M. F kN 5 kN y 60o 40o A x M kg

  16. P P P P 4.5 Equilibrium of A Two Force Body Consider the body in the first figure above under the action of 2 forces. The body is not in equilibrium because there is a net moment. For equilibrium, the two forces must be equal and opposite so that the net force is zero and they must also act along the same line of action so that the net moment is also zero, as shown by the second figure. Equilibrium will be covered by Intermediate Mechanics in Level 2.

  27. Rb =  ( Bx 2 + By 2) = 418.99 N Rb By  Bx To find the magnitude and direction of the single reaction at B. Use vector addition for the Bx and By components: tan  = (By / Bx) = (285.71 / 306.47) = 0.932  = 43.0 0 Rb = 418.99 N 43.0 0  = 43.0 0

  31. 300 N B 3 A C 4 D M kg 4.8 Pulleys Draw the F.B.D. of the pulley shown in the diagram below.

  32. The tension in the cable is due to the 300 N force applied at one end of the cable. 300 N 300 N 3 Cx 4 Cy Since the cable has the same tension throughout its length, the free-body diagram of the pulley would have two forces of 300 N and the x and y-components at C.

  33. If we apply the vector addition for the two 300 N forces, we obtain a resultant R = 537 N. Cx Cx R Cy Cy R=537 N For the system in equilibrium, the sum of moment at C must be zero and hence the resultant must pass through the point C.

  34. 300 N 300 N 300 N 3 Cx 4 300 N C R Cx 3 Cx Cy 4 Cy Cy Original system We can then resolve R back to the two original 300 N forces but now acting on the centre of the pulley, as shown below.

  35. 300N 300 N Ay 3 Ax C 4 D A (M x 9.81)N Hence for the example above, we could draw the following free-body diagrams, both of which are correct and the solution of either will yield the same answers for the reaction forces. When the pulley is drawn, the diameter of the pulley becomes insignificant. • With pulley

It is held in horizontal position, with a load attached at D, by a force F applied via a rope attached at B and passing over pulley C. Draw the free-body diagram of the bar AD and determine the magnitude of the force F and the components of reaction at A.
