Lecture Objectives
In this lecture, we will learn about drawing freebody-diagrams (FBD)
FBDs are the most important step in both static and
dynamic analysis
Using FBDs, we will investigate the condition in
which the resultant of a system of forces acting on a
body is zero (i.e., static equilibrium condition)

Equilibrium
A body is said to be in complete equilibrium when
the resultant forces (R) and couples (MO, any point
O) acting on the body is zero (necessary & sufficient
conditions)

MB
MB = 0 suggests equilibrium
if AB is not to x axis
MA = 0 suggests that R
must pass through A

Constraints
A constraint is a restriction of motion
Example: A roller is free to move horizontally
(no horizontal constraint)
A pin cannot move vertical or horizontal
(horizontally constrained)

Statical Determinacy
The force and moment balance equations are
necessary and sufficient for equilibrium but may not
be adequate to determine all the unknown forces

Statical Determinacy
A mechanical system that has more constraints than
necessary to maintain an equilibrium is termed
statically indeterminate

Statical Determinacy
Constraints that can be removed without disturbing
equilibrium are termed redundant constraints
The number of redundant constraints is termed
degree of statical determinacy
