Section 1 Static Machine Forces • Determines the forces in a machine while links are stationary, or at constant velocity. • Often used when the acceleration of the machine components is small (<0.25g).
F = 100 lbs 300 Forces • Push or pull action. • Vector quantity. • Magnitude • Direction • Point of application
Force Components • It is often convenient to resolve a force into orthogonal components. • Use right triangle to determine the components • F1=F sinf • F2=F cosf F2 F1 f 2 1 F
d F A Moments • Twisting action produced by a force. • Computed relative to a point. • MA=F d • F = Force • A = Reference point • d = perpendicular distance between force and reference point. • Vector • MA = 250 in lbs, cw
Problem 1-2 A force is applied to a box wrench as shown. Determine the moment, relative to the center of the nut, when f = 300, and b = 700. b 25 lb 8 in. f
b 60 lb 12 in 18 in Problem 1-4 A force is applied to the control lever as shown. Determine the moment, relative to the pivot block, when b = 300.
Free-Body Diagrams • Isolate the component(s) that must be studied. • Draw the component as if it were floating freely. • Replace all supports with the appropriate force and/or couples (moments).

F Reaction Forces • As a general rule, if the nature of the contact prevents motion in a certain direction, there must be a supporting force in that direction.
Two-Force Members • A component that is acted upon by only two forces is known as a two-force member. • A two force member will always be in either tension or compression.

Static Equilibrium • A machine component is in static equilibrium when the combination of all forces is zero. • In addition, the net effect of all moments, about any arbitrary point, must also result in zero. SFx = 0 SFy = 0 SMi = 0
Hints to Solve Statics Problems • Draw free-body diagrams large and properly labeled all forces. • Identify any two-force members that are contained in the machine. • The shortest method of solution occurs when the first FBD incorporates both given information and what is required. However, a free body diagram can, at most, be used to determine three unknown forces.
Hints (con’t) • If the first FBD fails to give a full solution, draw several other free-body diagrams. Each additional FBD generates three additional independent equations. However it may generate additional unknown forces. Keep track of the total number of unknown forces and independent equations. • A FBD of the entire machine may be useful. • Remember that internal forces between connecting components are equal and opposite.
