Question

True or False - Indicate whether you believe the statement is true or false. T F A particle is an idealization of a "point mass" while a rigid body is ideally "strong" in the sense that the distance between any two arbitrary points on a rigid body must always remain the same no matter what loads may be applied. T F The principle of transmissibility says that any external force can be assumed to be applied at any point along its line of action. T F A couple is a set of two forces that are equal in magnitude, have the same line of action and have opposite sense. T F The moment due to a couple is same about any point in space. T F If a 2-dimensional rigid body acted upon by 3 forces is in equilibrium, then all 3 Loa.'s meet at a point. T F If a 3-dimensional rigid body acted upon by 3 nonparallel forces is in equilibrium, then 3 Lo.a.'s meet at a single point. T F Weight is an example of an internal force.
