The truck ramps have a weight of 400 lb each.
Each ramp is pinned to the body of the truck and held in the position by a
cable. How can we determine the cable tension and support reactions?
How are the idealized model and the free body diagram used to do this?
Which diagram above is the idealized model?

Section 5.1: Conditions for Rigid-Body
Equilibrium
Copyright © 2022 Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved
In contrast to the forces on a particle, the
forces on a rigid-body are not usually
concurrent and may cause
rotation
of the
body (due to
moments
created by the
forces).
For a rigid body to be in equilibrium, the
net
force
as well as the
net moment
about any
arbitrary point O must be equal to zero.

Section 5.1: The Process of Solving Rigid Body
Equilibrium Problems

For analyzing an actual physical system, first we need to create an
idealized
model
.
Then we need to draw a
free-body diagram (F B D) showing all the external
(active and reactive) forces.
Finally, we need to
apply the equations of equilibrium
to solve for any
unknowns.

Idealized model
Free-body diagram (F B D)
1.
Draw an outlined shape.
Imagine the body to be isolated or cut “free”
from its constraints and draw its outlined shape.
2.
Show all the external forces and couple moments.
These
typically
include:
a) applied loads
,
b) support reactions
, and,
c) the weight of
the body.

3.
Label loads and dimensions on the F B D:
All known forces and
couple moments should be labeled with their magnitudes and
directions. For the unknown forces and couple moments, use
letters like A
x
, A
y
, M
A
. Indicate any necessary dimensions.

Section 5.2: Center of Gravity

Idealized model
Free-body diagram (F B D)
Center of gravity is defined as the point of application of the weight.
When the body is uniform or made from the same material, the center
of gravity will be located at the body’s
geometric center or centroid.

Section 5.2: Support Reactions in 2D (1/2)
Copyright © 2022 Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved
A few example sets of supports are shown above.
As a general rule, if a
support prevents translation
of a body in a
given direction, then
a force is developed
on the body in the
opposite direction
.
Similarly, if
rotation is prevented,
a couple moment
is exerted on
the body in the opposite direction.

force to the pedal so that the spring is
stretched 1.5 in. and the force in the short

B
is 20

diagram of the foot pedal.

Section 5.3: Equations of Equilibrium
Copyright © 2022 Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved
A body is subjected to a system of
forces that lie in the x-y plane. When
in equilibrium,
the net force and
net moment acting on the body
are zero
(as discussed earlier in
Section 5.1). This 2-D condition can
be represented by the three scalar
equations:
x
y
O
F
= 0
F
= 0
M
= 0
where point O is any arbitrary point.

single force.
First, write a moment equation about point B. Why point B?
