Inverse Dynamics: Static Equilibrium
Inverse Dynamics
A system is at rest and will remain at rest No translation or rotation is occurring or will occur Conditions for static equilibrium (from Newtons 1 st Law):
Net external force in x direction equals zero Net external force in y direction Fy = 0 equals zero Net torque produced by all external forces and all external T=0 torques equals zero Can use any point as the axis of rotation Can solve for at most 3 unknown quantities
Fx = 0
Dynamic Equilibrium
Applies to rigid bodies that are accelerating Conditions for dynamic equilibrium (from Newtons 2nd Law):
Net external force in x direction equals mass times x accel. Fx = m a x Net external force in y direction Fy = m a y equals mass times y accel. Net torque produced by all external forces and torques T=I equals moment of inertia times angular accel. Net torque must be computed about center of mass or a fixed axis of rotation Can solve for at most 3 unknown quantities
