Introduction
Mechanics: The action and effects of forces on bodies Statics Mechanics Dynamics Bodies in motion, or out of equilibrium Bodies at rest, or in equilibrium
In Equilibrium
v=0
m
Static
Out of Equilibrium
a=0.5 m/s2
Kinematics forces producing motion: Relations applied Dynamics Kinetics v a B Kinematics: how fast, how far and how long the motion takes A
Kinematics: e.g. Motion of rocket from position A to B only between position, velocity, acceleration and time Relation between unbalanced forces and the change in motion they produce
Kinetics: What forces were involved to produce the motion? - Weight - Friction - Tension - Spring Force - Support Force How about the resulting acceleration?
F
Kinetics: e.g. Motion of pendulum ball applied by F

Basic Concepts
Particles: - a body of negligible dimensions - a body with dimensions irrelevant to the motion or the action of forces upon it B
A Rigid Body:
- important overall dimensions of the body or changes in position of the body - negligible deformation (change in shape) of the body
Negligible spring deformation
Equivalent Particle
Rigid body
Flexible Body: - deformed body under loads - beyond the scope of this course
Law II. The acceleration of a particle is proportional to the resultant force acting on it and is in the direction of this force. F=ma
Out of equilibrium
Law III. The forces of action and reaction between interacting bodies are equal in magnitude, opposite in direction, and collinear. F F' F= F'
Laws I and II are strictly true only in an absolute frame of reference (i.e. A particle does not accelerate for Law I and does not rotate for Law II)

This equation relates applied forces (F) to the motion of a body (a).

m Fn-1 F4 F3
F2
F=F1+F2+F3+F4+..Fn-1+Fn=ma
Motion can be constrained (forced to follow a specific path: e.g. car trip, train on tracks) or unconstrained (can move in any direction: e.g. aircraft flight path, trajectory of a ball after it is thrown)
Train Running on Tracks Constrained Motion 2-D Coordinate Systems to Describe Motion: Rectangular coordinate (x, y) Polar coordinate (r,) t

An Overview of Mechanics
Mechanics: The study of how bodies react to forces acting on them.
Dynamics:
1. Kinematics concerned with the geometric aspects of motion 2. Kinetics - concerned with the forces causing the motion
