Question

We first make equilibrium equations of the body by considering all the three dimensional forces and then the free body diagram is made and solved.

(a) The first part of the statement is false and other part is true

(b) The first part of the statement is false and other part is false too

(c) The first part of the statement is true and other part is false

(d) The first part of the statement is true and other part is true too

I have been asked this question in examination.

The doubt is from Equilibrium in Three Dimensions topic in portion Equilibrium of a Rigid Body of Engineering Mechanics

Answer 1

The correct answer is (d) The first part of the statement is true and other part is true too

To elaborate: We first make the free body diagram and then we make the equilibrium equations to satisfy the given conditions. This helps us to solve the question easily. As this reduces the part of imagination and increases accuracy too.
