itemsbut are dependent on each other. If students find that they include a dimension or force in theequations of equilibrium that is not in the FBD then they must go back and add it in.Emphasizing the idea that the equations of equilibrium are driven by the free body diagram hashelped students develop a clearer understanding of how and why FBDs are important to theproblem solving process. In practice, instructors write ABCD ⇒E on the board frequently whendrawing free body diagrams as a constant reminder.Let’s take a look at an example from Hibbeler’s text at how this maps to what’s already done.(Pearson has granted permission to use these images.)To avoid confusion with the discussion of the technique, the point locations are renamed to be P,Q
