Introduction
• For a rigid body in static equilibrium, the external forces and
moments are balanced and will impart no translational or
rotational motion to the body.
• The necessary and sufficient condition for the static equilibrium of a

body are that the resultant force and couple from all external forces
form a system equivalent to zero,
∑ F⃗ =0 ∑ M⃗ O =∑ ( ⃗r × F⃗ ) =0
• Resolving each force and moment into its rectangular components
leads to 6 scalar equations which also express the conditions for
static equilibrium,
∑ F x =0 ∑ F y =0 ∑ F z =0
∑ M x =0 ∑ M y =0 ∑ M z =0

Free-Body Diagram
First step in the static equilibrium analysis of a
rigid body is identification of all forces acting on
the body with a free-body diagram.
• Select the extent of the free-body and detach

(separar) it from the ground and all other
bodies.
• Indicate point of application, magnitude, and
direction of external forces, including the rigid
body weight.
• Indicate point of application and assumed

direction of unknown applied forces. These
usually consist of reactions through which the
ground and other bodies oppose the possible
motion of the rigid body.
• Include the dimensions necessary to compute

the moments of the forces.

Equilibrium of a Rigid Body in Two Dimensions
• For all forces and moments acting on a two-
dimensional structure,
F z =0 M x =M y =0 M z = M O
• Equations of equilibrium become

 Fx 0  Fy 0  M A 0
where A is any point in the plane of the
structure.
• The 3 equations can be solved for no more

than 3 unknowns.
• The 3 equations can not be augmented with

additional equations, but they can be replaced

Equilibrium of a Two-Force Body
• Consider a plate subjected to two forces F1 and F2
• For static equilibrium, the sum of moments about A

must be zero. The moment of F2 must be zero. It
follows that the line of action of F2 must pass
through A.
• Similarly, the line of action of F1 must pass

through B for the sum of moments about B to be
zero.
• Requiring that the sum of forces in any direction be

zero leads to the conclusion that F1 and F2 must
have equal magnitude but opposite sense.
4 - 19
Equilibrium of a Three-Force Body
• Consider a rigid body subjected to forces acting at
only 3 points.
• Assuming that their lines of action intersect (or A and

B), the moment of F1 and F2 about the point of
intersection represented by D is zero.
• Since the rigid body is in equilibrium, the sum of the

moments of F1, F2, and F3 about any axis must be
zero. It follows that the moment of F3 about D must
be zero as well and that the line of action of F3 must
pass through D.
• The lines of action of the three forces must be
concurrent or parallel.

Equilibrium of a Rigid Body in Three Dimensions
• Six scalar equations are required to express the conditions for the
equilibrium of a rigid body in the general three dimensional case.
∑ F x=0 ∑ F y =0 ∑ F z =0
∑ M x =0 ∑ M y =0 ∑ M z =0
• These equations can be solved for no more than 6 unknowns

which generally represent reactions at supports or connections.
• The scalar equations are conveniently obtained by applying the

vector forms of the conditions for equilibrium,
