Rigid Bodies vs. Particle





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.

Particle Problems:  Forces act through a point



Rigid Body Problems: Have to worry about moments



Different types of moments:


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.


Different Types of Forces:



External force - gravity


Internal force:
Tension or compression inside a beam







What is a "moment of a force"?*************

Any force that is applied to a rigid body causes the body to translate or rotate or both.
• The tendency to ROTATE is caused by MOMENTS generated by the force.











In general, a force F generates a moment about any point O which is offset by some distance from the line of action of F.

Moments are Vectors
