Constraints •^ completely constrained^ – Rigid Bodies and Supports 13Lecture 5
doesn’t move – may not be statically determinate
-^ improperly or partially constrained^ –

-^ can’t solve
Constraints •^ overconstrained^ – Rigid Bodies and Supports 14Lecture 5
won’t move – can’t be solved with statics – statically indeterminate to n
