5 Free Body Diagrams Free Body Diagram Principles of EngineeringTM Unit 4 – Lesson Statics Visual representation of force and object interactions Individual objects or members are isolated from their environment or system, illustrating all external forces acting upon it Every object exists surrounded by other objects, perhaps resting against something, perhaps moving through its surroundings. While an object is in a given environment, it interacts with other objects around it, exerting forces on those objects, and having forces exerted on it. A free body diagram isolates an object from its environment, or system, and symbolically examines all of the forces acting on the object. This allows engineers to focus on the forces acting upon the object. From the free body diagram, engineers develop equations which can describe equilibrium, motion, momentum, strength, and many other physical properties.

Free Body Diagrams Principles of EngineeringTM Unit 4 – Lesson Statics Moment Review Moment (M) = Force (F) x distance (d) Distance (d) is called the moment arm. It must be measured perpendicular to the line of action of the force. Point of Rotation F d Line of Action

9 Free Body Diagram Procedure
Free Body Diagrams Principles of EngineeringTM Unit 4 – Lesson Statics Free Body Diagram Procedure A stack of three books, each weighing 5 lb, is sitting on top of a table. Draw the Free Body Diagram (FBD) of the top book.

10 Free Body Diagram Procedure
Free Body Diagrams Principles of EngineeringTM Unit 4 – Lesson Statics Free Body Diagram Procedure 1. Sketch the isolated object. What is the isolated object? Top Book Free body diagrams should be drawn completely isolated from all other objects around it. We “free” the body from its system. Instead of taking time to draw the object in detail, we substitute a simple geometric shape, such as a square or a circle. For these exercises the shape we draw is considered dimensionless.

11 Free Body Diagram Procedure
Free Body Diagrams Principles of EngineeringTM Unit 4 – Lesson Statics Free Body Diagram Procedure 2. Sketch the applied and norm forces. When an object is in contact with and is supported by a second object, the second object can be replaced with a normal force which is perpendicular to the surface of the second object. Free body diagrams should be drawn completely isolated from all other objects around it. We “free” the body from its system. Instead of taking time to draw the object in detail, we substitute a simple geometric shape, such as a square or a circle. For these exercises the shape we draw is considered dimensionless.

Instead of taking time to draw the object in detail, we substitute a simple geometric shape, such as a square or a circle. For these exercises the shape we draw is considered dimensionless. Norm Force – Reaction force pushing up on the book, causing it not to fall

17 Free Body Diagram Practice
Free Body Diagrams Free Body Diagram Practice Principles of EngineeringTM Unit 4 – Lesson Statics Create a FBD for the pulley system pictured below. Ftens FBD of M1: WM1 Ftens Ftens FBD of the movable pulley: Free body diagrams are frequently used while solving pulley system problems. It is useful to isolate the parts of a pulley system to discover relationships between the parts. This pulley system consists of an upper fixed pulley, which is supporting block M1, and a lower movable pulley. The movable pulley is supporting block M2. A single rope or cord connects these pulleys. Both pulleys are considered mass-less and frictionless. A free body diagram of M1 would start with a small shape. Two forces are acting on M1: The weight of M1 and the tension force of the rope. We can also isolate the pulleys. Looking at the lower movable pulley, we draw the free body. The weight of the block M2 is pulling down on the pulley. Two strands of the rope are pulling up on the pulley, and each of the strands is exerting a tension force. The tension force in the rope is equal in each free body diagram within the system since there is a single tension force in the entire rope. WM2 + W pulley M2 M1 Tension Forces (Ftens ) are equal throughout the system.
