CHP 1 General Principles: Bodies Action of Forces

This document outlines some basic principles of mechanics. It discusses rigid bodies that maintain a fixed shape under loads versus deformable bodies that can change shape. Mechanics is divided into statics, which deals with equilibrium, and dynamics, which deals with accelerated motion. Newton's three laws of motion are presented, along with his law of universal gravitation. Units of measurement in the International System of Units are defined. Prefixes are introduced to modify units. Dimensional homogeneity, where terms must have the same units, is also covered.

CHP 1 GENERAL PRINCIPLES

Mechanics : Branches of Physical sciences concerned with the state of rest or motion

of bodies that are subjected to the action of forces


Body Rigid-Body :
distance of particles fixed during applying load

Deformable-Body:

Body can deform during applying load

Fluid mechanic :

large change of particles distance during applying load

Action of Force
Statics :
deal with equilibrium (in rest or movement in constant velocity)

Dynamics :

Deal with accelrated motion of bodies

MECHANICS STATICS

Basic Quantities

Length : locate the position a point in the space


: describe the size of physical system.

Time : conceived as succession of event. Mass : Property of matter (manifest of attraction between 2 matters). Force : Push or pull exerted by one body to another
Idealization : in order to simplify application of the theory

Rigid body : Combination of particles in which all the particles remain


at a fixed distance from one another before and after applying a load. earth when studying its orbital motion). of a body.

Particle : has a mass but its size and geometry can be neglected (ex ;
Concentrated Force : Loading which is assumed to act at a point

Newtons 3 laws of motion

First Law : A particle originally at rest, or moving in

straight line with constant velocity, will remain in this state provided the particle is not subjected to an unbalance force.
Second law : A particle acted upon by an

unbalance force F experience an acceleration a that has the same direction as the force and a magnitude that is directly proportional to the force.
F=m.a

Third law : The mutual force of action and

reaction between 2 particles are equal, opposite and collinear.

Newtons law of gravitational attraction


F : Force of gravitation between 2 particles

m1m2 r2

G : Universal constant of gravitation (= 66.73 (10-12 m3/(kg.s2). m1,m2 : Mass of each of 2 particles. r : distance between 2 particles.

For a particle in the surface of earth m1 = m : masse of particle m2=Me : masse of earth

r : distance between earths center and particl

F
Let g=Gme/r2

mM e G 2 r
W : weight of particle m : mass of particle g : gravitational acceleration

W = mg

Unit of Measurement
Length (L), Mass (m) and time (T) are base unit, others are units derived from them. Ex :

F = m.a
Base unit Derived unit

unit of force cannot be selected arbitrarily (depends on base unit)

Derived unit

International system of Unit


g = 9.81 m/s2

W=mg

body of mass 1kg has a weight of 9.81 N


m : constant wherever the location of measurement g : depends on location of measurement.

F=ma

1N = force required to give 1 kg of mass ab acceleration of 1m/s2

Prefixes
Exponential Form 109 106 Prefix giga mega SI symbol G M

Rules for Use


-Never written with plural s, since it may be confused with the unit for second (s). -use proper prefix : GN,Gm,kN,km -quantity defined by multiple unit are separated by a dot ; N=kg.m/s2 , m.s (meter.second) ms (millisecond) -mm2=(mm)2=mm.mm -rather 15.25 than 15 -keep numerical value between 0.1 and 1000 50kN.60nm = (50.103N).(60.10-9m) = 300010-6 N.m = 310-3N.m = 3mN.m

103
10-3 10-6 10-9

kilo
milli micro nano

k
m n

Dimensional Homogeneity
Each term must be expressed in the same unit

-compound prefixes should not be used Kms(kilo-milli-second) 1(103)(10-3)s = 1 s -avoid to use prefix in denominator

S = v.t + 0.5.a.t2 In meter (m) m/s . s m/s2 . s2

N/mm kN/m
180o = rad

m/mg Mm/kg

-Plane angular in radian (rad)
