CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
TO DYNAMICS

UNITS
All physical quantities have

units

SI unit
New SI system is divided into
3 classes of units

Base Units
Supplementary
Units
Derived units
Prefixes are used to represent

larger or smaller values.

PROBLEM ANALYSIS
Ability to solve technical problems (involves a

combination of art and science)


The art of problem solving is a skill developed
with practice.
Before the solution to any problem is
undertaken, a number of important ideas
must be considered.

THE ENGINEERING
METHOD
1.
Recognize and understand the problem
2. Accumulate data and verify accuracy
3. Select the appropriate theory or principle
4. Make necessary assumptions
5. Solve the problem
6. Verify and check results

Recognize and understand


the problem
Study the problem
Eliminating the things that are unimportant:

shortening the time taken to complete later


steps
Focusing on the root problem

Accumulate data and


verify
accuracy
All pertinent physical facts, such as sizes,
temperature, voltages, currents, costs,
concentrations, weights, times etc. must be
ascertained
Do not mix or confuse these details with data
that are suspected or only assumed to be
accurate.
Deal only with items that can be verified.

Select the appropriate


theory or principle
Select appropriate theories or scientific that

apply to the solution of the problem


Understand and identify limitations or

constrains that apply to the selected theory.

Make necessary
assumptions
Perfect solutions to real problems do not
exits.
Simplifications need to be made if they are to
be solved.
Certain assumptions can be made that do not
significantly affect the accuracy of the
solution, yet assumptions may result in a
large reduction of accuracy.

Solve the problem


If step 3 and 4 have resulted in a

mathematical equation, it is normally


solved by an application of mathematical
theory, although a trial and error solution
which employs the use of a computer or
perhaps some form of graphical solution
also may be applicable.

Verify and check results

In engineering practice, the work is not

finished merely because a solution has


been obtained.
Correctness can be verified by reworking
the problem by using a different technique
or by performing the calculations in a
different order to be certain that the
numbers agree in both trials.
Finally, the answer must be examined to
seek if it makes sense.

PROBLEM PRESENTATION
-Diagram
Prepare a diagram with all pertinent

dimensions, flow rates, currents, voltages,


weights etc.
A very efficient method of showing given and
needed information.
Appropriate way of illustrating the physical
setup, which may be difficult to describe
adequately in words.

PROBLEM
PRESENTATION
Show completely all steps taken in obtaining
Solution steps
the-solution.
Steps completed but not shown make it

difficult for evaluation of the work done and


therefore difficult to provide constructive
guidance.
