3. What is Engineering Mechanics
It is the branch of physics which deals with the
study of forces and the effect of forces on the
bodies ,which are at rest or in motion.
Mechanics term was first
introduced by Sir Isaac Newton
in the 15th
century
Engineering Mechanics subject
is totally based on Newtonian
Mechanics
5. Branch of engineering Mechanics which deals with
effect of forces on the bodies which are at
rest( not moving)
e.g. Forces calculation in cable supporting
electricity pole, Calculation of forces in truss
member, calculation of friction etc.
Branch of Engineering Mechanics which deals
with effect of forces on bodies which are in
motion
e.g. Projectile motion analysis, equation of
motions, NSL for moving objects
Classification of Mechanics
10. Force: A force is any interaction that, when
unopposed, will change the motion of an object.
A force can change state of rest or state of motion
A force can cause an object to change
its velocity i.e. to accelerate or decelerate.
Bodies: A body is another word someone can use
to describe an object with mass.
We can refer body to very small objects like a ball,
book a small stone and also we can refer to very
large objects like heavy machines, cars, airplane,
Building etc.
Force
12. Newton’s Laws of Motion
1st
Law:-
An object at rest remains at rest, and an object in
motion remains in motion at constant speed and in a
straight line unless acted on by an unbalanced force
13. Newton’s Laws of Motion
2nd
Law:-
The rate of change of momentum of a body is directly
proportional to applied force and takes place in the
direction of net force.
F (P-momentum)
P = mv
Change of momentum = final — initial = (mv2) — (mv1)
14. Newton’s Laws of Motion
3rd
Law:-
For every action (force) in nature there is an equal and
opposite reaction
15. System of Forces
System of forces is a collection of forces and
couples acting on an object
System of forces is a term used to describe the
group of forces.
M
F=W
Friction
F=N
F=2N
F1=10N
F=W
24. Resolution of force implies breaking a single force
into two components(parts), such that if
components combined together would have the
same effect.
Resolution of Forces
28. Principle of Transmissibility:
A force being a sliding vector continues to act along
its line of action and therefore makes no change, if
it acts from different point on its line of action on a
rigid body.
