Engineering Mechanics
2 original lesson summaries in this topic collection.
Topic overview
- M = F × perpendicular distance; only the perpendicular component turns.
- Clockwise moments equal anticlockwise moments in equilibrium.
- A couple gives pure rotation; a force can be moved by adding a couple.
- Concurrent forces in equilibrium satisfy ΣFx = 0, ΣFy = 0; three-force systems are concurrent.
