7 2004 The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved. eventh Equilibrium Essentiality lf this resultant force and couple moment are both equal to zero, then the body is said to be in equilibrium F R = 0 and ( M R ) O = 0

8 2004 The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved. eventh Resolving each force and moment into its rectangular components leads to 6 scalar equations which also express the cons for static equilibrium, F x 0 F y 0 F z 0 M x 0 M y 0 M z 0

9 2004 The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved. eventh Free-Body Diagram First step in the static equilibrium analysis of a rigid body is identification of all forces acting on the body with a free-body diagram.

11 Indicate point of application and eventh assumed direction of unknown applied forces. These usually consist of reactions through which the ground and other bodies oppose the possible motion of the rigid body.

24 Equilibrium of a Rigid Body in Two Dimensions Equations of equilibrium become F x 0 Fy 0 M A 0 where A is any point in the plane of the structure. 4-24

25 Alternative form of equilibrium equations 4-25

26 Alternative form of equilibrium equations If M A = 0, then R must pass through A If F x = 0 where x is arbitrary then R not only passes through A but is also perpendicular to x If M B = 0 where B is any point such that AB is not perpendicular to x direction then R =

27 Alternative form of equilibrium equations 4-27

28 If M A = 0, then R must pass through A If M B = 0, then R must pass through B If M C = 0, then R must be zero where C is not collinear with A and B 4-28

29 The 3 equations can be solved for no more than 3 unknowns. The 3 equations can not be augmented with adal equations, but they can be replaced Fx M M A B M M M A B C 0 0 0

30 Statically Indeterminate Reactions More unknowns than equations Four unknown reaction force unknown, three equations available

31 Partially Constrained, or referred as unstable Fewer unknowns than equations, partially constrained Two unknown reaction force unknown, three equations available

32 Improperly Constrained, also indeterminate Equal number unknowns and equations but improperly constrained

33 Free to move horizontally Fx=0, then two equation left for three unknowns

34 Improperly Constrained, also indeterminate M 0 A If the reactions are concurrent or parallel, the structure is improperly constrained. 4-34

63 Two smooth pipes, each having a mass of 300 kg. are supported by the fork of the tractor in Fig. Draw the free body diagrams for each pipe and both pipes together. 4-63

64 Equilibrium of a Two-Force Body Consider a plate subjected to two forces F 1 and F 2 For static equilibrium, the sum of moments about A must be zero. The moment of F 2 must be zero. It follows that the line of action of F 2 must pass through A. 4-64

65 Equilibrium of a Two-Force Body Similarly, the line of action of F 1 must pass through B for the sum of moments about B to be zero. 4-65

66 Equilibrium of a Two-Force Body Requiring that the sum of forces in any direction be zero leads to the conclusion that F 1 and F 2 must have equal magnitude but opposite sense. 4-66

75 Two force member The bucket link AB on the back hoe is a typical example of a two-force member since it is pin connected at its ends and provided its weight is neglected no other force acts on this member. 4-75

76 Equilibrium of a Three-Force Body Consider a rigid body subjected to forces acting at only 3 points. Assuming that their lines of action intersect, the moment of F 1 and F 2 about the point of intersection represented by D is zero. 4-76

77 Equilibrium of a Three-Force Body Since the rigid body is in equilibrium, the sum of the moments of F 1, F 2, and F 3 about any axis must be zero. The moment of F 3 about D must be zero as well and that the line of action of F 3 must pass through D. 4-77

78 Equilibrium of a Three-Force Body The lines of action of the three forces must be concurrent or parallel. 4-78

79 Sample Problem 4.6 A man raises a 10 kg joist, of length 4 m, by pulling on a rope. Find the tension in the rope and the reaction at A. 4-79

80 Sample Problem 4.6 The three forces must be concurrent for static equilibrium. Reaction R passes through the intersection of the lines of action of the weight and rope forces. 4-80

100 Sample Problem

101 Sample Problem 4.8 SOLUTION: Create a free-body diagram. Apply static equilibrium to develop equations for the unknown reactions

102 Sample Problem

103 Sample Problem 4.8 Since there are only 5 unknowns, the sign is partially constrain. It is free to rotate about the x axis. It is, however, in equilibrium for the given loading

108 What if? Can the sign be in static equilibrium if cable BD is removed? 4-108

109 The sign cannot be in static equilibrium because T EC causes a moment about the y- axis (due to the existence of T EC,Z ) which must be countered by an equal and opposite moment. This can only be provided by a cable tension that has a z-component in the negative-z direction, such as what T BD has
