Set a rigid body (a solid of any shape) composed by elements of solid. Not support forces, frictions or resultants. If the solid is placed above an inclined surface, the coordinates X and Y of the mass center, and the coordinates X and Y of all it’s elements, are measured from an X axis, parallel at surface and positive to upwards, and a Y axis perpendicular to surface and positive to upwards.
| Equations: | 2 or 3. If all applied forces are vertical, are two equations (the sum of vertical forces and sum of moments). Isn’t allowed apply horizontal forces only, because FiscaLab assumes that the solid have a weight. |
| Data: | |
|---|---|
| Name: | Name of the solid. |
| m: | Mass of the solid. |
| xc: | X coordinate of the center of mass. |
| yc: | Y coordinate of the center of mass. |
| ang: | Angle of the surface where the solid is placed. Is measured from the positive X axis and the positive sense is the opposite of clockwise. |
