EQUILIBRIUM OF PARTICLE IN 2-D
This is an example of a 2-D
or coplanar force system. If the whole assembly is in equilibrium, then particle A is also in equilibrium.
To determine the tensions in
the cables for a given weight of the engine, we need to learn how to draw a free body diagram and apply equations of equilibrium.

THE WHAT, WHY AND HOW OF A FREE BODY DIAGRAM (FBD)
Free Body Diagrams are one
of the most important things for you to know how to draw and use. What ? - It is a drawing that shows all external forces acting on the particle.
Why ? - It helps you write the
equations of equilibrium used to solve for the unknowns (usually forces or angles).
Mechanical Engineering 2009 6
How ? – the procedure to draw the FBD. 1. Imagine the particle to be isolated or cut free from its surroundings. Draw the outlined shape 2. Show all the forces that act on the particle. Active forces: They want to move the particle. Reactive forces: They tend to resist the motion. 3. Identify each force and show all known magnitudes and directions. Show all unknown magnitudes and / or directions as variables .
Note : Engine mass = 250 kg FBD at A

Spring Force = spring constant With a frictionless * deformation, pulley, T1 = T2. or F=k* S
the net force at A is zero. So F1 + F2 + F3 + F4 = 0 or Σ F = 0 or ΣFx i + ΣFy j = 0
Or, written in a scalar form,
Σ Fx = 0 and Σ Fy = 0 These are two scalar equations of equilibrium (E of E). They can be used to solve for up to two unknowns. Mechanical Engineering 2009 12 EXAMPLE
Note : Engine mass = 250 Kg FBD at A
Write the scalar E of E:
+ → Σ Fx = TB cos 30º – TD = 0 + ↑ ΣFy = TB sin 30º – 2.452 kN = 0 Solving the second equation gives: TB = 4.90 kN From the first equation, we get: TD = 4.25 kN Mechanical Engineering 2009 13 EXAMPLE Given: Sack A weighs 20 N. and geometry is as shown. Find: Forces in the cables and weight of sack B. Plan:
1. Draw a FBD for Point E.
2. Apply EofE at Point E to solve for the unknowns (TEG & TEC). 3. Repeat this process at C.
Mechanical Engineering 2009 14
EXAMPLE (continued)
A FBD at E should look like the one
to the left. Note the assumed directions for the two cable tensions.
The scalar E of E are:
+ → Σ Fx = TEG sin 30º – TEC cos 45º = 0 +↑ Σ Fy = TEG cos 30º – TEC sin 45º – 20 N = 0
Solving these two simultaneous equations for the two
unknowns yields: TEC = 38.6 N TEG = 54.6 N Mechanical Engineering 2009 15 EXAMPLE (continued)
Now move on to ring C. A
FBD for C should look like the one to the left.
The scalar E of E are:
+ → Σ Fx = 38.64 cos 45° – (4/5) TCD = 0
+ ↑ Σ Fy = (3/5) TCD + 38.64 sin 45° – WB = 0
Solving the first equation and then the second yields
TCD = 34.2 N and WB = 47.8 N . Mechanical Engineering 2009 16 PROBLEM Given: The car is towed at constant speed by the 600 N force and the angle θ is 25°. Find: The forces in the ropes AB and AC.
Plan:
1. Draw a FBD for point A.
2. Apply the E of E to solve for the forces in ropes AB and AC.

Applying the scalar EofE at A, we get;
+ → ∑Fx = FAC cos 30° – FAB cos 25° = 0 + → ∑Fy = -FAC sin 30° – FAB sin 25° + 600 = 0 Solving the above equations, we get; FAB = 634 N , FAC = 664 N Mechanical Engineering 2009 18 Mechanical Engineering 2009 19 Mechanical Engineering 2009 20 Mechanical Engineering 2009 21 Mechanical Engineering 2009 22 Mechanical Engineering 2009 23 Mechanical Engineering 2009 24 EQUILIBRIUM OF PARTICLE IN 3-D For particle equilibrium, Σ F = 0 So F1 + F2 + F3 = 0 If the forces are resolved into i, j, k components, ΣFxi + ΣFy j + ΣFz k = 0
or, written in a scalar form,
Σ Fx = 0 ; Σ Fy = 0 ; Σ Fz = 0 These are three scalar equations of equilibrium (EofE). They can be used to solve for up to three unknowns.
