General Equilibrium Problems Equilibrium Conditions: 2D: 3D: Today we will focus on: How to select the free body? How to draw the free body diagram? How to build up equations?
Example 1 Determine the reactions at point A and B • Isolate the free body & • use reactions to replace the connections. • Set up equations (resolve, sum) A
Example 2 • Draw Free Body Diagram • (access: # unknow=# equation) Answer: Ay=183N Ex=0, Ey=417N, ME=-500N.m
Example 3 The wall crane supports a load of 3.5KN. Determine the horizontal and vertical components of the reaction at pins A and D. Also, what is the force in the cable at the winch W? The jib ABC has a weight of 500N and member BD has a weight of 200N. Each member is uniform and has a center of gravity at its center. C E Answer: pulley E: T=1.75KN Member ABC :Ay=35KN Ax=9.966KN Member DB : Dx=9.116KN Dy=9.216KN 3.5KN
Extra question If A and D are not in the same vertical line, how can we solve this problem?
