2 Force Members

A two-force member is a body with forces applied at only two points, with no couples. For equilibrium, the line of action of the resultant forces at each point must pass through the other point, and the resultant forces must be equal in magnitude but opposite in direction. A three-force member is a body with forces applied at only three points, with no couples. For equilibrium, the lines of action of the resultant forces at each point must intersect at a single point.

DEFINITION:

A two-force member: A body which has forces applied onto it at only two points, and no couples applied onto it at all, is called a two-force member. A two-force member can only be in equilibrium if the line of action of the resultant of the forces at each point passes through the other point, and each resultant force is equal in magnitude but opposite in direction to the resultant of the forces applied to the other point.

STATICSOFRIGIDBODIES
A three-force member: A body which has forces applied onto it at only three points, and no couples applied onto it at all, is called a three-force member. A three-force member can only be in equilibrium if the lines of action for the resultants of the forces at each point intersect at a single point. F1 F2
