    Engineers must construct accurate free body diagrams and calculate forces to ensure structures are stable and safe. Free body diagrams allow engineers to solve for internal and external forces on statically determinate structures, which is necessary to confirm a structure will not collapse under expected loads. Failing to account for all forces can result in unstable or unsafe structure designs.

    STATICS 10/18 - 12/15

    1. Why is it crucial for designers and engineers to construct accurate free body
    diagrams of the parts and structures that they design? It is important for
    engineers and designers to make accurate free body diagrams so the structure
    that is built will hold up properly. If the free body diagram is not made perfect, the
    structure will not work to its expectations.
    2. Why must designers and engineers calculate forces acting on bodies and
    structures? Engineers and designers need to calculate forces acting on bodies and
    structures to make sure the structure holds its shape and wont collapse after it is
    built.
    3. When solving truss forces, why is it important to know that the structure is
    statically determinate? If it is not statically determined, you cannot solve for the
    internal and external forces.
