FORCE IN EQUILIBRIUM·

CONCURRENT FORCES IN SQUILIBRIUME

If forces act on the same point, or if their lines of action intersect at the same common point, the forces are said to be concurrent. The resultant force of these forcer determines the motion of the body. It may cause a translatory notion --motion straight line, or a rotary motion. It may also experiences no motion at all. Such a situation is known as EQUILIBRIUM.

FIRST CONDITION OF EQUILIBRIUM

ZOTO.

The resultant force acting on a body must be

This also means that the suz-of the I-components must be zero and the sum of the y-components must allo be zero for a body at rest or moving at a constant rate.

If the forces are concurrent, this is the only condition that must be me

FROBLEM PROCEDURE··

Any problem in statice" involving concurrent forces conbe solved simply by applying informatione concerning vectors addition in previous lesson. Certain logical steps should be followed.

1. The problem should be read carefully and a clear

and simple diagram should be drawn to visualize all the explicit and inplicit factors.

2. The body, or portion of the body which is an

equilibrium should be isolated for a detailed: consideration of the forces acting on it. If the forces are concurrent and the body is in equilibrium, then the resultant force is zero, This information helps to evaluate one or more of the unknown forces

3. Indicate by arrows all the forces that act on une

isolated body but not the forces exerted by the body on something else. D

4. Treat these arrows as a vector diagram. Evaluate and tabulate the x- and y- components of all the forces acting on the isolated body.

SECOND CONDITION OF EQUILIBRIUM

If a body is in equilibrium, not only must the forces acting on it add up to zero but also all torques exerted by these forces with respect to any axis whatever must also add up to zero. This 18 known as the second condition of equilibrium?

PROBLEM PROCEDURES
