Chapter 5: Equilibrium of Rigid
Bodies
Focus on 2D problems
Sections 5.1-5.4, 5.7

TAM 211 students will cover 3D problems (sections 5.5-5.6) in week 13


Goals and Objectives
 Introduce the free-body diagram for a 2D rigid body

 Develop the equations of equilibrium for a 2D rigid body

 Solve 2D rigid body equilibrium problems using the equations


of equilibrium

 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

• If a support prevents the translation of a body in a given direction,


then a force is developed on the body on that direction
• If a rotation is prevented, a couple moment is exerted on the body
Beam has mass of 100 kg
and experiences load of
1200 N. Identify support
reaction type. Find
support reactions at A.

See Example 5.1 in text


The operator applies a vertical force
to the pedal so that the spring is
stretched 1.5 in. and the force in the
short link at B is 20 lb. Draw the FBD
of the pedal

Directions of arrows of
unknown forces/moments
are arbitrary on FBD. Actual
direction be determined with
solution for unknown values

See Example 5.2 in text

Note that reaction force on bar due


to peg is perpendicular to bar and
arbitrarily drawn in direction shown.
25 kg bar with center of
mass at G. Supported by
smooth peg at C, roller at A,
cord AB
Identify support reaction types. Draw the FBD of blue body with forces in Cartesian coordinates.

Pinned at A, smooth support at B. Neglect mass

Collar at A can slide vertically, roller @ B


Can you draw the FBDs of link AB and roller wheel B?
