External and Internal Forces

3 - 6

• Forces acting on rigid bodies are

divided into two groups:- External forces

- Internal forces

• External forces are shown in a

free-body diagram.

• If unopposed, each external force

can impart a motion of

translation or rotation, or both.

Principle of Transmissibility: Equivalent Forces

3 - 8

•  Principle of Transmissibility -

Conditions of equilibrium or motion arenot affected by transmitting a force

along its line of action.

 NOTE: F and F’ are equivalent forces.

• Moving the point of application of

the force F to the rear bumper

does not affect the motion or the

other forces acting on the truck.

• Principle of transmissibility may

not always apply in determining

internal forces and deformations.

Moment of a Force About a Point

3 - 12

• A force vector is defined by its magnitude and

direction. Its effect on the rigid body also dependson it point of application.

• The moment of F about O is defined as

F r M O   

• The moment vector M O is perpendicular to the plane containing O and the force F .

• Any force F’  that has the same magnitude and

direction as F , is equivalent if it also has the same line

of action and therefore, produces the same moment.

• Magnitude of M O 

measures the tendency of the force

to cause rotation of the body about an axis along M O .

The sense of the moment may be determined by the

right-hand rule.

Moment of a Force About a Point

3 - 13

• Two-dimensional structures have length and breadth but

negligible depth and are subjected to forces contained inthe plane of the structure.

• The plane of the structure contains the point O and the

force F . M O , the moment of the force about O is

 perpendicular to the plane.

• If the force tends to rotate the structure clockwise, the

sense of the moment vector is out of the plane of the

structure and the magnitude of the moment is positive.

• If the force tends to rotate the structure counterclockwise,

the sense of the moment vector is into the plane of the

structure and the magnitude of the moment is negative.

Principle of Moments

3 - 14

• The moment about a given point O of the

resultant of several concurrent forces is equalto the sum of the moments of the various

moments about the same point O.

• Varignon’s Theorem makes it possible to

replace the direct determination of the

moment of a force F  by the moments of

two or more component forces of F .

Forces , ,

, must be

concurrent, say

at point A.

Moment of a Couple

3 - 36

• A force has two effects on a rigid body: translational due to

the force itself and rotation due to the moment of the force.Couple, on the other hand, is PURE ROTATIONAL effect as

it has NO resultant force. Two forces F and -F having the

same magnitude, parallel lines of action, and opposite sense

are said to form a couple.

• Moment of the couple,

• The moment vector of the couple is independent

i.e., it is a free vector that can be applied at any

point with the same effect.

Couples Can Be Represented by Vectors

3 - 39

• A couple can be represented by a vector with magnitudeand direction equal to the moment of the couple.

• Couple vectors obey the law of addition of vectors.

• Couple vectors are free vectors, i.e., the point of applicationis not significant.

• Couple vectors may be resolved into component vectors.

Resolution of Couples

2 - 40

• Couples do not require the condition to have acommon point of application (Why? Free Vecto rs )

• This is in contrast to the addition of forces and for

addition of moments of forces about points, which

can be added only if they are concurrent.

•  : Moment of Force and : Couple

• Resolution of Couples is no different than the

resolution of moments of forces; for ex. moment

of a couple about axis  AB is:

  = . (No subscript on

??)

Ex.

(i) Find the

corresponding

couple-vector.

(i) Find the moment of

the couple about the

Determine the components of thesingle couple equivalent to the

couples shown.

SOLUTION:

• Attach equal and opposite 20 lb forces inthe + x direction at A, thereby producing 3

couples for which the moment components

are easily computed.

• Alternatively, compute the sum of the

moments of the four forces about an

arbitrary single point. The point D is a

good choice as only two of the forces will

 produce non-zero moment contributions..

These two are NOT necessarily perpendicular to each

reducing it to (∥ + ) acting at point P  . This combination of a
