Question
The loads on the left and right sides of the section at B are equal in magnitude but opposite in direction. These loadings must act in equal and opposite directions according to
The answer is apparently Newtons second law. I was so sure it was Newton's third law. Can anyone explain?
The loads on the left and right sides of the section at B are equal in magnitude but opposite in direction. These loadings must act in equal and opposite directions according to (a) engineering mechanics (b) Newton 2nd law (c) Newton's 3rd law (d) none of the above The answer is apparently Newtons second law. I was so sure it was Newton's third law. Can anyone explain?Explanation / Answer
F = ma
For Static Equilibrium right hand side should be zero or in other words there is no acceleration
This condition can only be achieved when the net force acting is zero
In this case it can happen only when the loads act in opposite directions and are of equal magnitude
