First of all, Thank you so much for this series. Because of you, I got 85% on my Mechanics midterm. I was just wondering if you could continue into chapter 8 - friction
You're very welcome! So the reason why I didn't go into friction that deep is because for first year courses, most of the time, it stops at the "coefficient of friction multiplied by the normal force." That was covered in a lot of the dynamics/statics videos already. Maybe your university goes further in for a first year course, I am not sure, but since most universities stop there for a first year course, I also stopped. I am trying to cover most of the first year courses so students get a good grasp of the fundamentals for the upper years. Currently, I am on thermodynamics, so I probably won't visit statics for some time, but when I start with more of the upper year courses, I will definitely cover it. So please accept my apologies, but I probably won't get it done in time for your final exams. On the bright side though, there are a lot of people teaching this stuff on RUclips/other resources so I think you will be good to go :) Best wishes with your exams!
Thank you very much! I think understanding the steps is more important than the final value. Most professors give 1/10 for the final answer, and 9/10 for the steps to get there. 😅
Thanks to you I got a 10 in my Mechanics course in my first semester. Back to the same channel, for my Solid Mechanics course in my fourth semester now. :D
Very great briefings , I have a question about moment directions positivity or negativity assumptions, why is in the convention clockwise is positive anticlockwise is negative but in other calculations it is opposite. So what is the reason.
If you consider counter-clockwise to be the positive direction for your moment instead of clockwise, would your answers be different than if you considered clockwise the positive direction for your moment calculations like you did?
At 5:21 why does the moment b equation have the 600(4) - 600 (2) - Md = 0 I thought it would be 600 (4) + 600 (2) - Md = 0. I can't see why F= 600 N isn't clockwise :/
Think about the beam rotating about point D. So it's free to move. In that case, if you apply a force from the top at the middle, how will it spin? It would spin counter-clockwise. Now imagine applying a force from the bottom, how would it spin? It would spin clockwise. To see it better, cut a small piece of paper, and hold your finger at point D, gently, so that you can spin it with your other hand. Then apply the forces one from above, and another from the bottom and see how it spins. Another way to see it is to realize that in this case, we have a force from the top and another force from the bottom, it's not possible for it to spin the same way when the forces are coming from 2 difference sides.
2:56 How can we decide whether we should put +Mc or -Mc? Like, at 5:20 you put Md as -Md even though the direction is the same as 2:56 (which means it should've been positive(?)) CMIIW
It's completely up to you, so at 2:56, we chose clockwise as positive. Notice that the moment arrow (the curved blue arrow is facing clockwise), so it's a positive MC. But look at 5:20, again, we chose clockwise as positive, but our moment arrow, the blue one, is counter-clockwise. So it's negative.
So you're right when you say only the x-component creates a moment but I'm unsure why you think 3m is the perpendicular distance. Point B is 4m in the vertical direction from point A. The x-component lies horizontal at point B. I hope that helps 👍
The direction you choose for moments to be positive is up to you. It's just an assumption. If you get a positive answer, your assumption was right, if it's a negative answer, it's opposite to your assumption.
Can you explain why on the second question, you wrote the two force member force pointing outwards like tension, but for the third question you had the two force member force pointing inwards?
03:30 I really don't understand why the direction of Fbc is left-up arrow and what does it mean being a 2 force member. If you can explain I'll appriciate.
i think there's some confusion, you moment at point a so that 10kn is going down it should be clock wise right? therfore - 10(1.5)-15(1.5)+by(6) by= 82.5
There is no confusion. Clockwise moments were picked to be positive so the only thing negative would be B_y. You can pick counter-clockwise to be positive, you will still get the same answer. It makes no difference. You just have a lot of negatives to deal with. Do whichever method you like best.
Thank you so much this video is very useful!! I have a question, what about fixed support only on a beam? Although it is like the pin support but I kinda have bad feeling toward it 😂🙏🏻
There isn't much of a difference, you'd have 3 reactions though. With a pin, you have x and y reactions, but in a fixed support, you'd have a moment along with x and y reactions.
@@QuestionSolutions When I was passing through, I found out that we took a hinge alongside a fixed support. And this needs a cut then tryna figure out each reaction in a sliced beam.. In a fixed support, there is a moment equation
From 5:45, could you please tell me how come that you use 4/3 instead of 3/4? I'm usually confused about it, and I found out that it's the stuff that I must know hehe, thank you Sir! A very helpful video.
So here, we are using sine/cosine/tangent to figure out lengths. In this case, we used tan, which is opposite over adjacent. So looking from the angle, (imagine you're the angle), what is the length of the opposite side? That's 3 + 1 = 4 m. Then we look for the adjacent side. That's 3 m. So opposite over adjacent is 4/3. Does that help or maybe I didn't understand your question well. Please let me know, thanks!
If you're looking for a refresh on breaking forces into components and when to use sine and cosine, see this video: ruclips.net/user/shortsvynnKlJD_Jo?feature=share
So the 8 comes from 4m + 4m = 8 m. It is the length of the beam AB. We are treating member BC as a force, so the force is applied at point B, which is 8 m away from point A.
In 1:58 if we have the same question and we have a moment on B if we sperate AC why we don't take the moment with us as the moment Will influence in all frame?
I am sorry, I don't understand your question. Are you saying "why aren't we taking the moment about point B?" If so, you can, you'll get the same answers.
@@manarawad3339 If you split the beam at C, then the right side will have the moment while the left side will not. So when you do the math for seperate segments, you will only care about the applied moment for the right side, not left. In essence, you think of it as 2 seperate beams
Minute 3:40 Why didn't you use the reactions of c? I thought you you will write all the reactions and find them. Then we can take the right or left part?
You can write them, but it doesn't matter what they are. We only care about the top beam, so we don't need them to calculate force FBC. So focus on one beam at a time, unless you consider the whole object, in which case, internal forces like FBC doesn't matter.
I can see why this can be confusing, but this isn't the same as when you take a moment about a point and any line of action of a force that intersects it becomes zero. Instead, imagine you have an object and you have an additional moment applied to it separately. So not created by an applied force, but rather, a direct moment being applied.

I’m really glad to hear that you found the examples helpful and easy to understand! Your feedback is greatly appreciated. Happy studying!
Your videos are GREAT. holy shit. I keep thinking you made an error but its me making stupid errors. YOu sire deserve a star.
It's better to know you made a mistake than to keep going in the same pattern. Well done on catching your own mistakes, and keep up the good work!

If you consider counter-clockwise to be the positive direction for your moment instead of clockwise, would your answers be different than if you considered clockwise the positive direction for your moment calculations like you did?
No, it gives the same answer. It makes no difference.
Normal force + when it causes tension.
Shear force + when cause clockwise and moment is positive when moving in concave upward manner.

@@QuestionSolutions 😁😁😁
for the second problem , when we took moment at A ,why didnt we took the reaction forces at point c?
Point C doesn't matter since we only look at member AB. We assumed a single force acting at B from the member BC.
Explained well ,keep it up
Thank you very much!
At 5:21 why does the moment b equation have the 600(4) - 600 (2) - Md = 0
I thought it would be 600 (4) + 600 (2) - Md = 0. I can't see why F= 600 N isn't clockwise :/

thank you for your examples . 06:05 we cut the AE and we forget the top.Could we do it from the top?
You can, the choice is yours on which side you want to use.
In the second example you should’ve have a point between B and C that we should calculate as well
Why?
great video
Thank you very much!

@@user-hv6ef9ie1g You're very welcome!
Is it supposed to be clockwise moments are negative? How are we accept as positive?
See: ruclips.net/user/shortsP029mqnp4XY?si=0byrZmV1OCKCOPgi
5:50 how come you choose to multiply FBC cos 53.13 (4) and not (3) - only x direction forces create a reaction.
So you're right when you say only the x-component creates a moment but I'm unsure why you think 3m is the perpendicular distance. Point B is 4m in the vertical direction from point A. The x-component lies horizontal at point B. I hope that helps 👍
at 2:59 you took all the clockwise forces as positive and all the anticlockwise as negative but isn't it the other way around
The direction you choose for moments to be positive is up to you. It's just an assumption. If you get a positive answer, your assumption was right, if it's a negative answer, it's opposite to your assumption.
Can you explain why on the second question, you wrote the two force member force pointing outwards like tension, but for the third question you had the two force member force pointing inwards?
It was actually just an assumption. You can draw it either way, if you end up with a negative answer, then it's opposite to your assumption. :)
03:30 I really don't understand why the direction of Fbc is left-up arrow and what does it mean being a 2 force member. If you can explain I'll appriciate.
Please see this video: ruclips.net/video/IxkwZYXECkk/видео.html Especially at 1:35 where I explain two force members.

Why is clockwise moment positive in the first example? Isn't it meant to be negative?
Are you referring to 2:03? If yes, then you can assume clockwise or counter-clockwise to be positive. You will still get the same answer.
Looks like something used for Civil Engineering
Most of statics is the basic foundation for civil engineering. 👍

Hello bro, where did you get the moment arm 8 from 1200(4)-FBC sin 36.86 (8) =0. THANKS BRO
So the 8 comes from 4m + 4m = 8 m. It is the length of the beam AB. We are treating member BC as a force, so the force is applied at point B, which is 8 m away from point A.
why do we chose the side that is easier in this video but when drawing a shear diagram the right side is different from the left side
I don't understand your question. Did you look at the video covering how to draw shear and moment diagrams? ruclips.net/video/nkynrDINPic/видео.html

You have an unknown moment at C, so you can't do that.
