Topic of Presentation:: Equilibrium of Rigid Body and Free Body Diagram

The document discusses equilibrium of rigid bodies and free body diagrams. It provides an introduction to free body diagrams and their use in visualizing forces on objects. Conditions for static equilibrium are described as having zero net force and zero net torque. Examples of a balance and car on a banked curve are given. The outlines include introducing concepts, conditions for equilibrium, real life examples, and a free body diagram of a car to illustrate the process.

INTRODUCTION:
A free-body diagram is a sketch of an object of
interest with all the surrounding objects stripped
away and all of the forces acting on the body shown.
The drawing of a free-body diagram is
an important step in the solving of mechanics
problems since it helps to visualize all the forces
acting on a single object.
 Free-body diagrams are diagrams used to show the
relative magnitude and direction of all forces acting
upon an object in a given situation. A free-body
diagram is a special example of the
vector diagrams that were discussed in an earlier
unit.

A rigid body is in equilibrium when it is not
undergoing a change in rotational or
translational motion. This equilibrium requires
that two conditions must be met. The second
condition is related to the rotational motion. ... A
net torque will cause abody, initially at rest, to
undergo rotation.
In physics, a rigid body (also known as a rigid
object) is a solid body in which deformation is
zero or so small it can be neglected. ... A rigid
body is usually considered as a continuous
CONDITOINS OF EQUILIBRIUM:
 The first condition is related to the translational motion. The vector sum
of the forces on the body must be zero:
∑F=0
The second condition is related to the rotational motion. When the
forces do not act through a common point or pivot, they may cause the
body to rotate, even though the vector sum of the forces may be zero.
This requires introducing the idea of torque due to a force. A net torque
will cause a body, initially at rest, to undergo rotation.
 The second condition for static equilibrium is: The sum of the all the
torques (due to each of the forces on the body) must be zero:
£ torque = 0
FREE BODY DIAGRAM:
In physics and engineering, a free body diagram (force
diagram,[1] or FBD) is a graphical illustration used to
visualize the applied forces, moments, and resulting
reactions on a body in a given condition. They depict a
body or connected bodies with all the applied forces and
moments, and reactions, which act on the body(ies).
The body may consist of multiple internal members
(such as a truss), or be a compact body (such as a beam).
A series of free bodies and other diagrams may be
necessary to solve complex problems.
CONTINUE:
 A free-body diagram or isolated-body
diagram is useful in problems involving
equilibrium of forces.
Free-body diagrams are useful for
setting up standard mechanics
problems
REAL LIFE EXAMPLES:

An object (e.g book) lying still on the


surface(e.g table).
No resultant moment about a pivot, so
clockwise moments equal anticlockwise
moment and there is no resultant force and no
motion either. The system is in static equilibrium.
Building on the road
EXAMPLES......

 A balance to measure mass


is stationary because the
masses on both sides are
equal and there is no torque
or moment.(although there is
no mass below in the
diagram. Use your
imagination power to see
the equal masses on both
sides of the balnce).
FREE BODY DIAGRAM
OF AUTOMOBILE (CAR)
Step 1: Sketch what is happening. ...
Step 2: Determine the forces that act
on the object. ...
Step 3: Draw the object in isolation
with the forces that act on it.
FREE BODY DIAGRAM
OF CAR....

Figure (a) shows a


car going around a
friction-free banked
curve. The radius of
the curve is r , where
r is measured
parallel to the
horizontal.
CONTINUE......

Figure (b) shows the normal


force FN that the road applies
on the car, the normal force
being perpendicular to the
road. Because the roadbed
makes an angle θ with
respect to the horizontal, the
normal force has a
component sin FN θ that
points towards the center C of
the circle and balances the
centripetal term:

CONTINUE....

Given Figure shows that


free body force diagram of the car
moving on a road with banking angle θ
as the speed of the car approaches the
speed max v . The coefficient of static
frictional force between the car and the
road is μ . In this case the sum of the
components of frictional force and
normal force in the horizontal direction
balance the centripetal term.
CONTINUE.....
CONTINUE....

Given Figure shows that


free body diagram of the car as the
car moves along the circular track
with the minimum speed min v . In this
case the difference in the normal
force and static friction components
in the horizontal direction balance the
centripetal term.
