Mastering Engineering Tutorial 6
Question 3 (sphere with
cable) was dropped.
Everyone received 20
points.
Introduce concepts of
Support reactions
Two- and three-force members
Constraints and statical determinacy
Recap: Equilibrium of a Rigid Body
Reduce forces and couple moments acting on a body to an equivalent
resultant force and a resultant couple moment at an arbitrary point O.
𝑭𝑹 = 𝑭 = 𝟎
(𝑴𝑹 )𝑶 = 𝑴𝑶 = 𝟎
Recap: Equilibrium in two-dimensional bodies
(Support reactions)
Roller Smooth pin or hinge Fixed support
Directions of arrows of
unknown forces/moments
are arbitrary on FBD. Actual
direction be determined with
solution for unknown values
Massless truss
Identify support reaction types. Draw the FBD of rigid body with forces in Cartesian coordinates.
