Clad Rule You
must ALWAYS have the same number of
unknowns as independent equations in order to solve a system of
equations. So you might need to
supplement the equations of equilibrium with other equations such
as F
= μ N (where motion impends or sliding occurs), geometrical relations, and any
related equations of constraint. |
