Learning Objectives
To develop the equation of equilibrium for a rigid body
To introduce the concept of the free-body diagram for a
rigid body
To show how to solve rigid-body equilibrium problems
using the equations of equilibrium
EQUILIBRIUM OF FORCES
When a body is in equilibrium, the resultant of all forces acting on it is
zero. Thus, the resultant force R and the resultant couple M are both zero,
and we have the equilibrium equations:
R = ΣF = 0
M = ΣM = 0
