EQUILIBRIUM OF A RIGID BODY Conditions for Rigid Equilibrium Free-Body Diagrams Equations of Equilibrium
CONDITIONS FOR RIGID-BODY EQUILIBRIUM The equilibrium of a body is expressed as F R = F = 0 (M R ) O = M O = 0 Consider summing moments about some other point, such as point A, we require M A = r F R +(M R ) O = 0
Support Reactions FREE BODY DIAGRAMS If a support prevents the translation of a body in a given direction, then a force is developed on the body in that direction. If rotation is prevented, a couple moment is exerted on the body.

Internal Forces FREE BODY DIAGRAMS External and internal forces can act on a rigid body For FBD, internal forces act between particles which are contained within the boundary of the FBD, are not represented Particles outside this boundary exert external forces on the system Ed uc a ti o n
FREE BODY DIAGRAMS Weight and Center of Gravity Each particle has a specified weight System can be represented by a single resultant force, known as weight W of the body Location of the force application is known as the center of gravity
FREE-BODY DIAGRAMS Idealized model Free-body diagram (FBD) 1. Draw an outlined shape. Imagine the body to be isolated or cut free from its constraints and draw its outlined shape. 2. Show all the external forces and couple moments. These typically include: a) applied loads, b) support reactions, and c) the weight of the body.
FREE-BODY DIAGRAMS Idealized model Free-body diagram 3. Label loads and dimensions on the FBD: All known forces and couple moments should be labeled with their magnitudes and directions. For the unknown forces and couple moments, use letters like A x, A y, M A. Indicate any necessary dimensions.
