4. Equilibrium of a System of Coplanar Forces

Principles of equilibrium:

An object is said to be in equilibrium if the resultant force and the resultant couple acting on
the object is zero.

Thus we get two resultants at these two points.

Condition for equilibrium for a two force member -

Thetwo resultants must be
a) equal in magnitude
b) opposite in direction and
c) having a common line of action. v

Consider a rigid body under the influence of

in equilibrium coplanar forces P, Q and R as3
shown. Let the point of forces P and
of intersection Q
be point A., By the principle of
transmissibility of forces transmit forces P and Q to act at point A. Let the resultant of P
and
Qbe F. Hence forces P and Q
can be replaced by force F. Thus, we can consider only two
forces F and R to be acting on the body. By the two force principle, these two have
to be
equal, opposite and collinear. Thus it is proved that force R also passes through point A.
Hence proved that the three forces, P, Q and R are concurrent.

Lami's theorem:

If three forces acting at a point are in equilibrium, the ratio of any of the forces to the sine of

the angle between the remaining two forces is thé

Limitations of Lami's theorem:

1 Cannot be applied when more than 3 forces are acting at a point.

2 Cannot be applied for non concurrent system of forces.
3. Direction of an unknown force cannot be calculated using Lami's theorem.

For problems involving only 3 forces (3force members)

If the langles.are known them Lami's theorem is the quickest method of getting the
unknown forces.
If the angle of some force tforçes is not known then either use Lamis theorem(you will

need to usetrigonometry formulas) or use the equilibrium equations EF, = 0, EFy = 0.

For problems involving more the 3 forces (multiforce members)

Use equilibrium equations as mentioned in the given tabl.

Free body diagrams:

Inany problem involving a body in equilibrium it is extremely important to first draw the Free
Body diagram (FBD) of the rigid body.

Points to remember:

a) Remove all the supports and show only the support reactions.

b) Obtain the directions and angles of all the forces using the original figure in the
question and use these angles to draw the FBD.
Show only external forces in the FBD. External forces are forces exerted by the
surroundings on the object. Internal forces are forces exerted by one part of the
object on another part of the object. These are not to be shown in the FBD. To
decide which forces are internal and which are external, first clearly define the
object whose FB) is being drawn. An FBD could be drawn separately for each
object or a combined FBD could be drawn for two or more objects.
Forces to be shownin the FBD are:
a. Allexternal loads
b. Self weight of the object
c. All support reactions. Toprtart
e Give proper namesto the unknown forces.

f) Show all relevant angles and dimensions in the FBD. Name the unknowns.
