3. EQUILIBRIUM 3
Introduction
✓ Equilibrium is a condition in which all influences acting cancel each other,
so that a static or balanced situation results.
✓ When a body is in equilibrium, the resultant of all forces acting on it is
zero. Thus, the resultant force R and the resultant couple M are both zero,
and we have the equilibrium equations
♠ These requirements are both necessary and sufficient conditions for
equilibrium.

SECTION A EQUILIBRIUM IN TWO DIMENSIONS
Example:
2) Determine the magnitudes of the forces C and T, which, along with the
other three forces shown, act on the bridge-truss joint.
Solution:
W =mg =200(9.81) =1962 N
