Скачать или смотреть Rigid Body Equilibrium in 2D – Supports, Moments, and Reactions Explained!

Welcome to another Basic Engineering session!

In this detailed lecture, we explore one of the most important concepts in statics:
➡️ Equilibrium of Rigid Bodies in 2D

You'll learn:

What is a rigid body and why we use the approximation

The difference between particles and rigid bodies in equilibrium

How to use three equations of equilibrium for rigid bodies

Types of supports: hinge (pin), roller, and fixed support

When a structure is stable, unstable, or statically indeterminate

The concept of two-force members

A complete example problem with full free-body diagram and calculations

📌 This session includes a step-by-step solution for a real-world statics problem involving:

External loads and a moment

Reaction forces at hinge and roller supports

Identification of a two-force member

Using the moment equation wisely to solve efficiently

🎓 Who Is This For?
This is ideal for:

Engineering students studying Statics or Mechanics of Materials

Anyone needing a refresher on rigid body equilibrium

Students preparing for FE/EIT exams or university-level mechanics courses
