    Introduction to Engineering Mechanics


    IAN V. ROMAS, ME
    Faculty Member, ME department
    COE, Mariano Marcos State University

    Learning Outcomes
    After careful study of this module, students should be able to:

    Define and explain fundamental concepts of Static of Rigid bodies


    Identify the axioms of Mechanics.
    Define and explain Scalar and Vector quantities.
    Solve application problems involving conversion of units.
    Introduction to Engineering Mechanics

     Engineering is the application of the mathematical and physical sciences


    (physics, chemistry, and biology) to the design and manufacture of items that
    benefit humanity.
     Mechanics iA branch of physics concerned with the behavior of physical bodies
    subject to Force, F or Displacement, S.

     Engineering Mechanics is the branch of science in which it deals with the


    laws and principles of mechanics, and their application with engineering
    problems.

    MECHANICS

    RIGID BODY DEFORMABLE BODY


    FLUIDS

    •Thermodynamics
    •Statics •Solid Mechanics •Aerodynamics
    •Dynamics •Mechanics of Materials •Fluid Dynamics

     Rigid Body define as the mount of matter the part of which are fixed in
    position relative to one another.
    Statics of Rigid Bodies
     Statics – the study of rigid bodies at rest or at a constant velocity. Concerning
    the determination of internal and external forces acting on a body.

    a=0 v = constant or v = 0

     Force – define as that of which changes, or tends to change the state of


    motion of a body. If a force F acts on a particle of mass m, Newton’s second
    law states that F = ma where m is mass and a is acceleration (F = mg where g
    is acceleration due to gravity equal to 9.81 m/s2 for metric system)

    Units of Force
    ➢ SI (Metric) System 1.0 kg . m/s2 = 1.0 N (Newton)
    ➢ English System 1.0 slug . ft/s2 = 1.0 lb (Pound)
    Force System

     Force System is any arrangement where two or more forces act on a body or
    on a group of related bodies.
    Kinds of Force System
    A. According to plane:

    Coplanar – lines of action of a set of Non-Coplanar – line of action of all the


    forces lie in a single plane forces lie in one plane
    B. According to line of action:

    Concurrent Force System


    – the lines of action of forces pass
    through a common point.

    Parallel Force System


    – lines of action of forces are parallel.

    Non-concurrent Force System


    – lines of action of forces are neither
    parallel nor intersect in a comment point.
    Newton’s Law of Motion
    1. Law I
    – A particle originally at rest, or moving in a straight
    line with constant velocity, tends to remain in this
    state provided the particle is not subjected to an
    unbalanced force,

    2. Law II
    – A particle acted upon by an unbalanced force F experiences
    an acceleration a that has the same direction as the force and a
    magnitude that is directly proportional to the force. If F is applied
    to a particle of mass m, this law may be expressed mathematically
    as

    3. Law III
    – The mutual forces of action and reaction between two
    particles are equal, opposite, and collinear.
    Axioms of Mechanics
    1. The parallelogram Law
    - the resultant of two forces is the diagonal of the parallelogram formed on
    the vectors of these forces.

    2. Two forces are in equilibrium only when equal in magnitude, opposite in


    direction, and collinear in action.
    Axioms of Mechanics
    3. A set of forces in equilibrium may be added to any system of forces without
    changing the effect of the original system

    4. Action and reaction forces are equal but oppositely directed.


    Scalar and Vector Quantities
    Scalar- quantities which possess magnitude only and can be added arithmetically.

    Vector – quantities which posses both magnitude and direction and can be combined geometrically
    Dimensional Check
    𝑣 2 = 𝑣02 + 2𝑎𝑠

    𝑓𝑡 2 𝑓𝑡 2 𝑓𝑡
    2 = 2 + 2 𝑥𝑓𝑡
    𝑠𝑒𝑐 𝑠𝑒𝑐 𝑠𝑒𝑐
    Conversion of Units
    Example:
    Convert an acceleration of 1 in/s2 to its equivalent in miles/year2
