2: Static Equilibrium in Concurrent Force Systems Last updated Save as PDF Page ID 102519 Jacob Moore & Contributors Pennsylvania State University Mont Alto via Mechanics Map Video introduction to Chapter 2, delivered by Dr. Jacob Moore. YouTube source: https://youtu.be/VXhvhP8VBMY . 2.1: Static Equilibrium Definition of static equilibrium, and its relation to force and acceleration, in terms of both linear and angular acceleration. 2.2: Point Forces as Vectors Approximating surface forces as point forces. The line of action of forces. Representation of forces as vectors, magnitude-angle and component notations of vectors. Includes several worked example problems. 2.3: Principle of Transmissibility The principle of transmissibility, and the situations where it can be applied to analysis of a rigid body vs. those where it cannot. 2.4: Concurrent Forces The connection between lines of action and the concurrence of a set of point forces. Particle behavior of a body experiencing only concurrent forces. 2.5: Equilibrium Analysis for Concurrent Force Systems How to solve problems involving analysis of concurrent forces on a body at static equilibrium. Includes several worked example problems. 2.6: Chapter 2 Homework Problems
