Course ObjectiveAnalyze rigid bodies in equilibrium
Chapter ObjectivesState the equations of equilibrium for various bodies (particles, 2D/3D rigid bodies)Draw free body diagrams (FBDs) of various bodies (select the body, draw the isolated body, apply loads and support reactions, add axes and dimensions, use 3 colors to differentiate the body, loads/reactions and other information)Substitute information from FBDs into equation of equilibrium in scalar & vector forms and solve for support reactions

Equilibrium Procedure
Equilibrium
Formulate problems from physical situations. Simplify problems by making appropriate assumptionsDraw the free body diagram (FBD) of objects under considerationState the condition of equilibriumSubstitute variables from the FBD into the equilibrium equationsSubstitute the numbers and solve for solutions
Delay substitute numbersUse appropriate significant figures
Technical judgment and engineering senseTry to predict the answersIs the answer reasonable?

Equilibrium Free Body Diagram (FBD)
Equilibrium
FBD is the sketch of the body under consideration that is isolated from all other bodies or surroundings.
The isolation of body clearly separate cause and effectsof loads on the body.
A thorough understanding of FBD is most vital for solving problems.

Equilibrium FBD Construction
Equilibrium
No FBDs Cannot apply equilibrium conditions Stop...........
→→
Select the body to be isolatedDraw boundary of isolated body, excluding supportsIndicate a coordinate system by drawing axesAdd all applied loads (forces and couples) on the isolated body.Add all to support reactions (forces and couples) represent the supports that were removed.Beware of loads or support reactions with specific directions due to physical meanings Add dimensions and other information that are required in the equilibrium equation

Equilibrium Helps on FBD
Use different colours in FBDsBody outline - blueLoad (force and couple) - redMiscellaneous (dimension, angle, etc.) - black
Equilibrium
Establish the x, y axes in any suitable orientation.Label all the known and unknown applied load and support reaction magnitudes Beware of loads or support reactions with specific directions due to physical meanings Otherwise, directions of unknown loads and support reactions can be assumed.
10

Equilibrium On FBD Analyses
Objective: To find support reactionsApply the equations of equilibrium: state equations and substitute in the variables from the FBD under consideration
Load components are positive if they are directed along a positive direction, and vice versaIt is possible to assume positive directions for unknown forces and moments. If the solution yields a negative result, the actual load direction is opposite of that shown in the FBD.

For a two-force member in equilibrium, forcesare equal in magnitude.are opposite in direction.have the same line of action.The are no other loads, e.g. weight
The ability to recognize 2-force members is important in the analyses of structures.

Example Hibbeler Ex 5-19 #1
The bent rod is supported at Aby a journal bearing, at D by a ball-and-socket joint,at B by means of cable BC. Using only one equilibrium equation, obtain a directsolution for the tension in cable BC. The bearing at A is capable of exerting forcecomponents only in the z and ydirections since it is properly aligned on the shaft.

SI Objects Redundant Supports #1
An object has redundant supports, when it has more supports than the minimum number necessary to maintain it in equilibrium.
ResultMore unknown forces or couples than the number of independent equilibrium equations.

ConceptsWhen a body is in equilibrium, the resultant force and couple about any point O are both zero. Problems can be analyzed by drawing free body diagrams (FBDs) and substitute information in the FBD under consideration into the equilibrium equations.
Statically determinate (SD) problems can be solved using the equilibrium conditions alone.The statically indeterminate (SI) problems cannot due to too few or too many supports or constraints.
