Introduction –Equilibrium of Rigid Bodies
• Treatment of a body as a single particle is not always possible. In
general, the size of the body and the specific points of application of the
forces must be considered. As a result, the rigid bodies can translate as
well as rotate
• We first consider the effect of forces exerted on a rigid body and replace a
given system of forces with a simpler equivalent system.
• moment of a force about a point
• moment of a force about an axis
• moment due to a couple
• Any system of forces acting on a rigid body can be replaced by an
equivalent system consisting of one force acting at a given point and one
couple.

Principle of Transmissibility: Equivalent Forces
• Principle of Transmissibility Conditions of equilibrium or motion are
not affected by transmitting a force
along its line of action.
NOTE: F and F’ are equivalent forces.

Vector Product of Two Vectors
• Concept of the moment of a force about a point is
more easily understood through applications of
the vector product or cross product.
• Vector product of two vectors P and Q is defined
as the vector V which satisfies the following
conditions:
1. Line of action of V is perpendicular to plane
containing P and Q.
2. Magnitude of V is V = P Q sin θ
3. Direction of V is obtained from the right-hand
rule.
• Vector products:
- are not commutative, Q × P = −( P × Q )
- are distributive,
P × (Q1 + Q2 ) = P × Q1 + P × Q2
- are not associative, ( P × Q ) × S ≠ P × (Q × S )

Moment of a Force About a Point
• The moment of F about O is defined as
MO = r × F
• The moment vector MO is perpendicular to the
plane containing O and the force F.
• Magnitude of MO measures the tendency of the force
to cause rotation of the body about an axis along MO.
M O = rF sin θ = Fd
The sense of the moment may be determined by the
right-hand rule.

Moment of a Couple
• Two forces F and -F having the same magnitude,
parallel lines of action, and opposite sense are said
to form a couple.
• Moment of the couple,
r r r r
r
M = rA × F + rB × (− F )
r
r r
= (rA − rB ) × F
r r
= r ×F
M = rF sin θ = Fd
• The moment vector of the couple is
independent of the choice of the origin of the
coordinate axes, i.e., it is a free vector that can
be applied at any point with the same effect.

Couples Can Be Represented by Vectors
• A couple can be represented by a vector with magnitude
and direction equal to the moment of the couple.
• Couple vectors obey the law of addition of vectors.
• Couple vectors are free vectors, i.e., the point of application
is not significant.
• Couple vectors may be resolved into component vectors.

Resolution of a Force Into a Force at O and a Couple
• Force vector F can not be simply moved to O without modifying its
action on the body.
• Attaching equal and opposite force vectors at O produces no net
effect on the body.
• The three forces may be replaced by an equivalent force vector and
couple vector, i.e, a force-couple system.

resultant force vector and a resultant couple vector,
