NHT 1

Equilibrium of a Particle
If the resultant of all the forces acting on a particle is zero, the particle is
said to be in equilibrium.

Recall, Newton's 1st Law.

Free Body Diagrams
A diagram showing all the forces acting on a particle or an object.

Spring; when F = +; pull (tarik), when F = - ; push (tolak)
F=ks ,
F = force (daya) = N
k = stiffness (kekakuan) = N/m
s = = l l
0
= distance (jarak) = m


Cable and pulley ; cable
can support only pulling
force (tension), have angle
