STATICS The study of force systems in equilibrium;i.e., balanced force systems.
STATICS F = 0 (forces) all forces add up to zero the system is balanced
STATICS M = 0 (moments)moments add up to zero the system is balanced
DYNAMICS F = maforces do not equal zero the system is unbalanced
DYNAMICS T = Jmoments do not equal zero the system is unbalanced
Forces are Vectors • length = magnitude • angle = orientation • arrowhead = direction
Forces are Vectors • rectangular coordinates • polar coordinates
Rectangular CoordinatesF = 4i + 3j Length =Magnitude 3 units vertical 4 units horizontal
Rectangular CoordinatesF = 4i + 3j Hypotenuse =4² + 3² = 5 3 units vertical 4 units horizontal
Polar Coordinates F = 5 36° Length = 5 units Vertical axis = 36° Horizontal axis
Polar Coordinates F = 5 36° Length = 5 units Y comp. = 5 sin 36° = 36° X component = 5 cos 36°
Force Vector • F = 5 36° • F = 5 cos 36° i + 5 sin 36° j • F = 4i + 3j • 5 = length = magnitude • 36° = angle = orientation
Force Vectors • graphical solutions • add vectors head to tail • analytical solutions • add like components
Let’s get to work ... Let’s look at some examples from the book and on the web.
