Lecture 10

This document summarizes Chapter 5 of the ME 211 Statics course, which covers equilibrium of rigid bodies. It discusses free-body diagrams, the equations of equilibrium, and their application to 2D and 3D systems. Several example problems are provided to illustrate determining support reactions, forces in members, and solving equilibrium equations. Practice problems are listed at the end for students to reinforce the concepts covered in the chapter.

STATICS (ME 211)

Fall 2021

Lecture 10

Faculty of Mechanical Engineering


Chapter 5: Equilibrium of Rigid Body

- Free-body diagram by drawing the outline of the object


- For coplanar or 2D System, three equations are essential and
sufficient conditions for equilibrium of a rigid body
- Support reactions and their free-body diagram
- Two and Three force members
- Equilibrium in three dimensions
- Equations of Equilibrium in three dimensions
- Constraints and statical determinacy
Two- and Three-Force Members
Two-force member has forces applied at only two
points on the member
for any two-force member to be in equilibrium, two
forces acting on the member must have the same
magnitude, act in opposite directions, and have the same
line of action,
If a member is subjected to only three forces , it is called
a three-force member

Moment equilibrium can be satisfied only if the three forces form


a concurrent or parallel force system.

As a special case, if the three forces are all parallel, the location of
the point of intersection, O, will approach infinity.
Example 5.13
The lever ABC is pin supported at A and connected to a
short link BD as shown in Fig. 5–22a. If the weight of the
members is negligible, determine the force of the pin on
the lever at A
SOLUTION
Problem 5-16
Determine the tension in the cable and the horizontal and
vertical components of reaction of the pin A. The pulley at D
is frictionless and the cylinder weighs 80 lb.
Problem 5-19
The man has a weight W and stands at the center of the plank.
If the planes at A and B are smooth, determine the tension in
the cord in terms of W and θ
Problem 5-25
Determine the reactions on the bent rod which is supported
by a smooth surface at B and by a collar at A, which is fixed to
the rod and is free to slide over the fixed inclined rod.
Problem 5-42
The boom supports the two vertical loads. Neglect the size of the
collars at D and B and the thickness of the boom, and compute
the horizontal and vertical components of force at the pin A and
the force in cable CB. Set F1 = 800 N and F2 = 350 N.
EQUILIBRIUM IN THREE DIMENSIONS
Support Reactions
A force is developed by a support that restricts the
translation of its attached member.
A couple moment is developed when rotation of the

attached member is prevented.


EQUILIBRIUM IN THREE DIMENSIONS
Free Body Diagrams
Isolate the body by drawing its outline shape
Carefully label all the forces and couple moments with
reference to an established x, y, z coordinate system.
As a general rule, it is suggested to show the unknown
components of reaction as acting on the free-body
diagram in the positive sense. In this way, if any negative
values are obtained, they will indicate that the
components act in the negative coordinate directions.
Example 5.14
Consider the two rods and plate, along with their associated free-body diagrams,
shown in Fig. 5–23. The x, y, z axes are established on the diagram and the unknown
reaction components are indicated in the positive sense. The weight is neglected
