Question 1

What is the condition for the sum of vertical forces in static equilibrium?

  • ΣFy = 1
  • ΣFy = 0
  • ΣFy = -1

💡 Hint: Think about balancing forces acting up and down.

Question 2

True or False: Only the sum of horizontal forces needs to be zero for static equilibrium.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Recall the total forces and moments that must be accounted for.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A beam is supported at both ends and has a weight of 100 N positioned on one side at 2 m from the left end. Calculate the reaction forces at both supports assuming the system is in static equilibrium.

💡 Hint: Remember to calculate moments about one of the supports to simplify the calculations.

Question 2

A structure has three loads: 200 N downwards at position A, 100 N downwards at position B, and a 300 N upwards at point C right in the middle of A and B. Determine if the structure is in equilibrium.

💡 Hint: Check forces acting in both directions to see if they balance.
