ENGR-36_Lec-10_FBDs_2D_3D_Systems.pptx 2 Bruce Mayer, PE Engineering-36: Engineering Mechanics - Statics Free Body Diagrams (FBDs)  A free-body diagram is a sketch of an object of interest with all the surrounding objects stripped away to reveal all of the forces acting on the body  The purpose of a free-body force diagram is to assist with determination of the Net Force and/or Moment acting on a body Space Diagram Free Body Diagram

ENGR-36_Lec-10_FBDs_2D_3D_Systems.pptx 3 Bruce Mayer, PE Engineering-36: Engineering Mechanics - Statics Constructing a free-body diagram  Select an object or group of objects to focus on as the "body“: i.e., the system.  Sketch the body by itself, "free" of its surroundings  Draw only those forces/moments that are acting directly on the body. Include both the magnitude and the direction of these forces.  Do not include any forces that the body exerts on it surroundings, they do NOT act ON the body. However, there is always an equal reaction force acting on the body.  For a compound body (e.g. Trusses, Machines) you do NOT need to include any INTERNAL forces acting between the body's SUBPARTS these internal forces come in action-reaction pairs which cancel out each other because of Newton's Third Law.  Choose a coordinate system and sketch it on the free-body diagram.  Often choose one of the axes to be parallel one or more forces it can sometimes simplify the equations to be solved.
