Since this new couple moment is a free vector, it can be applied at an point P on the bod. When several forces and couple moments act on a bod, ou can move each force and its associated couple moment to a common point O. Afterwards, ou can add all the forces and couple moments together and find one resultant force-couple couple moment pair.

3 Review -- GROUP PROBLEM SOLVING Given: Handle forces and are applied to the electric drill. ind: An equivalent resultant force and couple moment at point O. Plan: a) ind RO Σ i Where, b) ind M RO Σ M C + Σ ( r i i ) i are the individual forces in Cartesian vector notation (CVN). M C are an free couple moments in CVN (none in this eample). R i are the position vectors from the point O to an point on the line of action of i.

4 Rigid Bod Equilibrium THE PROCESS O SOLVING RIGID BODY EQUILIBRIUM PROBLEMS or analzing an actual phsical sstem, first we need to create an idealized model. Then we need to draw a free-bod diagram showing all the eternal (active and reactive) forces. inall, we need to appl the equations of equilibrium to solve for an unknowns. Rigid bod: The distance between an two points within the bod is constant. M O Where point O is an arbitrar point. Note: Newton s 3rd LAW Rigid Bod Equilibrium IMPORTANT NOTES. If we have more unknowns than the number of findependent d equations, then we have a staticall indeterminate situation. We cannot solve these problems using just statics. ti. The order in which we appl equations ma affect the simplicit of the solution. or eample, if we have two unknown vertical forces and one unknown horizontal force, then solving X O first allows us to find the horizontal unknown quickl. 3. If the answer for an unknown comes out as negative number, then the sense (direction) of the unknown force is opposite to that assumed when starting the problem. 4. Two force members; Three force members. O 3 4

5 Rigid Bod Equilibrium ree Bod Diagram BD PROCEDURE OR DRAWING A REE BODY DIAGRAM. Draw an outlined shape. Imagine the bod to be isolated or cut free from its constraints and draw its outlined shape.. Show all the eternal forces and couple moments. These tpicall include: a) applied loads, b) support reactions, and, c) the weight of the bod (if applicable). 3. Label loads and dimensions: All known forces and couple moments should be labeled with their magnitudes and directions. or the unknown forces and couple moments, use letters like A, A, M A, etc.. Indicate an necessar dimensions. orce direction in free bod diagram Whether a force positive or negative depends on our own dfiiti definition. A B P A B P A A P B B P A B A P B P

7 orce Analsis in a Truss Structure Zero force Members: In Engineering mechanics, a zero force member refers to a member in a truss which, given a specific load, is at rest neither in tension nor in compression. In a truss a zero force member is often found at pins (connections within the truss) where no eternal load is applied and three or fewer truss members meet. How to identif a zero force member? Two principles: ) The geometr of a truss structure is fied. a) Rigid bod b) Triangles (Wikipedia: zero-force member) ) Inspect those potential two force members first, then the others. orce Analsis in a Truss Structure Zero-force Members in a Truss Structure Two principles: ) The geometr of a truss structure is fied. a) Rigid bod b) Triangles ) Inspect those potential two force members first, then the others.
