Static Equilibrium Calculator

This Static Equilibrium Calculator allows users to input forces and their angles and distances from the origin, calculates the components and moments, and determines if the system is in equilibrium.

Using the Static Equilibrium Calculator

The Static Equilibrium Calculator is designed to help you determine whether a system of forces is in static equilibrium. Follow these steps to input your data and obtain the result.

Step 1: Input the First Force Details

  1. Force 1 Magnitude (N): Enter the magnitude of the first force. This value should be a non-negative number. Make sure the input field is not left empty as it is required.
  2. Force 1 Angle (degrees): Input the angle of the force in degrees. The angle should be between -360 and 360 degrees. Again, ensure this field is filled in because it is mandatory.
  3. Force 1 Distance from Origin (m): Provide the distance from the point of application of the force to the origin. There is no specific range for this input, but it is required to proceed with the calculations.

Step 2: Input the Second Force Details

  1. Force 2 Magnitude (N): Enter the magnitude of the second force, which should be a non-negative value. This field is also compulsory.
  2. Force 2 Angle (degrees): Input the angle of the second force in degrees, ensuring it falls within -360 to 360 degrees. It is a required field and cannot be left empty.
  3. Force 2 Distance from Origin (m): Provide the distance from where the second force is applied to the origin. This is necessary information for completing the calculations.

Step 3: Review the Results

  • Sum of Forces in X-direction: The calculator will compute the resultant force in the X-direction based on your inputs. This will be displayed with two decimal places, followed by the unit ‘N’.
  • Sum of Forces in Y-direction: It will also calculate the resultant force in the Y-direction, shown with two decimals and in ‘N’.
  • Sum of Moments: The sum of moments about the origin is calculated and presented with two decimal places followed by ‘N⋅m’.
  • System in Equilibrium?: The calculator determines whether the system is in equilibrium based on the conditions provided. It will display ‘Yes’ if the system is in equilibrium and ‘No’ otherwise.

By following these steps carefully, the Static Equilibrium Calculator will help you analyze the state of equilibrium of the forces you have defined.
