![]() Please note that these equations are the ones most commonly used for solving 2-D equilibrium problems. This 2-D condition can be represented by the three scalar equations: where point O is any arbitrary point. No matter how you choose to solve for the unknown values, any numeric values which come out to be negative indicate that your initial hypothesis of that vector’s sense was incorrect. equilibrium, the net force and net moment acting on the body are zero (as discussed earlier in Section 5.1). 5.6 EQUATIONS OF EQUILIBRIUM As stated earlier, when a body is in equilibrium, the net force and the net moment equal zero, i.e., F 0 and M O 0. We also have to consider the components in third dimension or z. ![]() ![]() If you are not familiar with the use of linear algebra matrices to solve simultaneously equations, search the internet for Solving Systems of Equations Using Linear Algebra and you will find plenty of resources. Equilibrium equations are similar to those written in ‘Part 2’ of this section. Luckily, most unknowns in equilibrium are linear terms, except for unknown angles. Note that the adjective “linear” specifies that the unknown values must be linear terms, which means that each unknown variable cannot be raised to a exponent, be an exponent, or buried inside of a \(\sin\) or \(\cos\) function. ![]() \) \(y\) and \(z\) directions, you could be facing up to six equations and six unknown values.įrequently these simultaneous equation sets can be solved with substitution, but it is often be easier to solve large equation sets with linear algebra. ![]()
