The methods to reduce coplanar and non-coplanar non-concurrent force systems to equivalent force-couple systems were discussed.
UNIT - II Equilibrium of Rigid Bodies Syllabus Equilibrium in Two and Three Dimensions - Reactions at Supports and Connections. Introduction • The methods to reduce coplanar and non-coplanar non-concurrent force systems to equivalent force-couple systems were discussed. • If both the equivalent force and the couple become zero for a rigid body under the action of all external forces, the rigid body is said to be in equilibrium. • To identify all forces acting on a rigid body, its free body diagram is drawn and then equations of equilibrium are used. These methods are discussed in this chapter for two and three dimensional cases.
