  1. Equilibrium Of a Rigid Body

  2. Objectives • To develop the equations of equilibrium for a rigid body. • To introduce the concept of the free-body diagram for a rigid body. • To show how to solve rigid body equilibrium problems using the equations of equilibrium.

  4. Conditions forRigid-Body Equilibrium

  5. 2D Supports

  6. Support Reactions General Rule:If a support prevents the translation of a body in a given direction, then a force is developed on the body in that direction. Likewise, if rotation is prevented a couple moment is exerted on the body.

  13. Procedure for Drawing a Free-Body Diagram • Select co-ordinate axes. • Draw outlined shape isolated or cut “free” from its constraints and connections. • Show all forces and moments acting on the body. Include applied loadings and reactions. • Identify each loading and give dimensions. Label forces and moments with proper magnitudes and directions. Label unknowns.

  14. Free Body Diagrams

  15. Important Points • No equilibrium problem should be solved without first drawing the appropriate F.B.D. • If a support prevents translation in a direction, then it exerts a force on the body in that direction. • If a support prevents rotation of the body then it exerts a moment on the body.

  16. Important Points • Couple moments are free vectors and can be placed anywhere on the body. • Forces can be placed anywhere along their line of action. They are sliding vectors.

  17. Part B

  18. 2D Equilibrium Scalar Equations

  19. Procedure for Analysis • Free-Body Diagrams • Equations of Equilibrium

  20. Equations of Equilibrium • Apply the moment equilibrium equation,  MO= 0. Take the point O to be the intersection of the lines of action of two unknown forces. This allows the direct solution for the third force. • Orient the x and y axes along lines that will provide the simplest resolution of the forces into their x and y components.

  21. Direction of Forces If results are a negative scalar for the magnitude the force acts in the opposite sense that you selected on the Free-Body Diagram.
