STATICSCHAPTER 3
EXTERNAL AND INTERNAL FORCES
• The forces acting on the body of the rigid can be divided into two groups 1) and 2 external forces ) internal forces.
• 1 - . External forces exerted represent action other bodies on the rigid body into consideration.
• 2 - . Internal forces are those that keep the particles that make up units to the rigid body .
• 2 - .las internal forces are those units that maintains the particles that form the rigid body .
PRINCIPLE OF TRANSMISSIBILITY. EQUIVALENT FORCES
• Transmitting the principle states that the equilibrium conditions or movement of a rigid body remain unchanged if a force F which acts at a given point of that body is replaced by a force F which has the same magnitude and direction but which acts on a different point as long as both have the same action forces .
VECTOR PRODUCT OF TWO VECTORS
• To better understand the effect of a force on a rigid body , then introduce a new concept : the moment of a force about a point.
• Products vector expressed in rectangular component term
• The following will occur to determine the vector product of any of the unit vectors i , j, k were defined in chapter two considering the product ix j . as both vectors have a magnitude equal to 1 and given that they are angled straight with each other , their product vetores i , j, k are mutually perpendicular and form a right hand triad .
MOMENTS OF FORCE ABOUT A POINT
VARIGON THEOREM
• A force F acting on a rigid body . As is known, the force F is represented by a vector that defines the magnitude and direction. However, the effect of the force on the rigid body also depends on its application point .
• The distributive property vector products can be used to determine the moment when the various forces resulting from concurrent . If the forces F1 F2 ... forces applied at the same point A , and if the vector r represents the position A, from the equation in section 3.4 it can be concluded that
• r X ( F1 + F2 + ... ) = r X r X F1 + F2 + ...
• The rectangular components of the moment of a force
PRODUCT OF TWO VECTORS
• The dot product of two vectors P and Q is defined as the product of the magnitudes of P and Q and the cosine of the angle 0 formed by PYQ (Figure 3.19).
• The escales product of P and Q is denoted by PQ Then , we write
• PQ = cos P.Q
• Triple mixed product of three vectors
• Triple defines a triple scalar product or product mixed three vectors S , P and Q as the scalar expression .
• S. ( P x Q )
• Formed which is obtained by the dot product of vector S with the product of P and Q
MOMENT OF FORCE WITH RESPECT TO A GIVEN AXIS
• Now that has increased knowledge of vector algebra , we can introduce a new concept : moment of a force about an axis.
• Consider again the force F acting on the rigid body and the moment MO of this force with respect to O.
MOMENTS OF A PAIR / EQUIVALENT PAIRS
• It is said that two forces Fy- F having the same magnitude and line of action opposite parallel form a pair . Obviously, the sum of the components of the two forces in any direction is equal to zero.
• -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
• Before establishing two power systems produce the same effect on a rigid body , it must be demonstrated based on experimental evidence that has been presented so far.
EQUIPOTENT VECTOR SYSTEMS
• In general, when two vector systems satisfy the equations (3.57 ) O ( 3.58) , that is, when its output and respectively resulting moments about an arbitrary point O are equal, it is said that the two systems are equipotent . Therefore, the result of setting is finished in the previous section can be stated as follows .
