TH 2200 Lecture Notes - Lecture 28: Rigging, Free Body Diagram, Ultimate Tensile Strength
Document Summary
Force = energy/ strength --- change in motion. Everything is static we want everything to be equal to zero. The rigging system doesn"t move until you apply force. Statics the study of forces and the affects of forces acting on rigid bodies at rest: a rigid body doesn"t move. Dynamics - the study of forces and the affects of forces acting on rigid bodies in motion. Resultant forces: the summation of all forces, the force that is pushing back . Free body diagram: lengths of all supporting members and distances between forces. Lengths between applied forces: the magnitude of all known forces (the weights, the points of application of all forces, direction of all forces, the senses of all forces (the reality of the summation) Summation of forces this will be an x, y grid: negative forces will have a negative number.
