1. Isolate each part by drawing outlined
shape. Show and label all forces and
dimensions.
2. Identify any two force members.
3. Forces common to two contacting
members act with equal magnitudes but
opposite senses on respective members.
4. If the two members are treated as a
system the forces between them are
internal and not shown on the FBD.
