WORK
CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
1.1 FUNDAMENTAL CONCEPTS
Mechanics - The science concerned with the conditions of rest or motion of bodies under the action of forces.
Branches of Mechanics
Rigid Body Mechanics
Statics - Equilibrium of bodies under the action of forces
Dynamics - Accelerated motion of bodies
Kinematics - Study of geometry of motion
Kinetics - Relate forces to motion
Deformable Body Mechanics
Fluid Mechanics
Relativistic Mechanics
Quantum Mechanics
Particle - A dimensionless object that possesses a definite mass.
Rigid Body - Combination of a number of particles but assumed to be not deformable
Fundamental Principles
Parallelogram Law for Vector Addition
Principle of Transmissibility
Newton’s Three Fundamental Laws of Motion
Newton’s Law of Gravitation
1.2 SYSTEMS OF UNITS
Absolute system of units are independent of the location where measurements are made.
1.3 NUMERICAL ACCURACY
In engineering problems, the data are seldom known with accuracy greater than 0.2 percent.
General Rule for Expressing a Solution
Use four figures to record numbers beginning with a single digit before the decimal point.
Use three figures in all other cases.
Examples:
CHAPTER 2
VECTORS
2.1 SCALARS AND VECTORS
Scalar - A quantity possessing magnitude only.
Vector - A quantity possessing magnitude, direction, and sense.
Graphical Representation
Vectors are represented by arrows; the length of the arrow indicates its magnitude. Direction is indicated by its angular orientation.
The line of action of a vector is defined as an imaginary straight line of indefinite length passing through the vector.
), if they have the same magnitude, direction and sense. They may have different lines of action.
and if they create the same effect(s).
Note: Equal vectors are not necessarily equivalent.
The negative vector is defined as the vector having the same magnitude as its positive counterpart but in opposite direction.
Types of Vectors
Fixed vector - Acts at a particular point in space
Transmissible or sliding vector - may be applied anywhere along its line of action.
Free vector - Can be applied at any point in space, but they should maintain the same magnitude, direction and sense. e.g., Moment vector of a couple.
