A body is subjected to a system of forces that lie in the x-y plane. When in equilibrium, the net force and net moment acting on the body are zero. This 2-D condition can be represented by the three scalar equations: ? F x = 0 ? F y = 0 ? M O = 0 where point O is any arbitrary point. Please note that these equations are the ones most commonly used for solving 2-D equilibrium problems. There are two other sets of equilibrium equations that are rarely used. For your reference, they School of Engineering, Fall 2009 are described in the textbook. 440:221 Lectures Equations of Equilibrium (rigid body 2D) ? F x = 0 ? F y = 0 ?

School of Engineering, Fall 2009 440:221 Lectures Two and three force members The solution to some equilibrium problems can be simplified if we recognize members that are subjected to forces at only two points - - members that subjected to forces at two (e.g., at points A and B). If we apply the equations of equilibrium to such a member, we can quickly determine that the resultant forces at A and B must be equal in magnitude and act in the opposite directions along the line joining School of Engineering, Fall 2009 in the directions joining points A and B. 440:221 Lectures Example of a two force member two- member In the cases above members AB can be considered as two force cases , members AB can - members, provided that their weight is neglected. This fact simplifies the equilibrium analysis of the of some rigid bodies since the directions of the resultant forces at A and B are thus known (along the line joining points A and B).
