The body shown below is the same as in the last question; but the forces are different. As a reminder; the body is in the horizontal plane and supported by a pin support. Forces are applied in the directions and senses shown and have non-zero magnitudes. Indicate the conditions; if any under which the body can be in equilibrium This body cannot be in equilibrium regardless of the (non-zero) force magnitudes can be in equilibrium for some force magnitudes is in equilibrium for all force magnitudes The figure below represents the portion of the body around the hole. Indicate the portion of the hole at which the pin would contact the body if it were in equilibrium or if it is not in equilibrium; then indicate that. A B C D Not in equilibrium Solution 1. Answer B: Can be in equilibrium for some force magnitudes. Explanation: The structure can be in equilibrium if the forces generate a moment equal but opposite (equilibrium of moment would be fulfilled) as the support cannot provide opposition to rotation, and the support provides balance of forces in the other directions (x axis and y axis) 2. Answer C: The pin would contact with the portion C, as the resultant force in the support would go in opposite direction of the external forces to comply the equilibrium of forces in all direction.
