    Statics of Rigid Bodies

    Engr. Marchel S. Castidad, PICE


    Topic 1

    Introduction to Mechanics (Statics)


    Engineering Mechanics

    -defined as the science which describes and


    predicts the conditions of rest or motion of
    bodies under the action of forces
    Statics

    Rigid
    Mechanics of Bodies
    Solids Dynamics
    Engineering
    Mechanincs Deformable Strength of Materials
    Mechanics of Bodies Theory of Elasticity
    Fluids Theory of Plasticity
    Statics

    Mechanics dealing with the relations


    of forces that produce equilibrium
    among material bodies
    Fundamental Concepts of Statics
    Rigid Body – defined as a definite amount of matter the
    parts of which are in fixed position relative to one other

    Mass – is the invariant property of a body which


    measures its resistance to a change of motion

    Force – is the action exerted by one body upon another


    Axioms – principles of mechanics are postulated upon several more or
    less self-evident facts which cannot be proved mathematically but can
    only be demonstrated to be true.
    1. The Parallelogram Law – the resultant of two forces is the diagonal
    formed on the vectors of these forces
    2. Two forces are equilibrium only when equal magnitude, opposite in
    direction, and collinear in action
    3. A set of forces in equilibrium maybe added to any system of forces
    without changing the effect of the original system
    4. Action and reaction forces are equal but oppositely directed
    Quantities in Mechanics
    Scalar – possess magnitude only (area, mass, and time)

    Vectors – having both magnitude and direction (force, moment,


    displacement, velocity, acceleration, and momentum)

    Tensors – having magnitude and require two or more directions


    Units and Dimensions
    • Absolute Metric (MKS)

    Length – meter (m)


    Time - seconds (sec)
    Force – newton (N)
    Mass – kilogram (kg)
    Schematic and Free-Body
    Diagrams

    A sketch of the isolated body which shows the forces


    acting upon it.
    Topic 2
    Force Vectors and Equilibrium of Particles
    Resultants of Force System
    -is describe as the total amount of force
    acting on the object or body along with the
    direction of the body.

    The resultant force is zero when the object is


    at rest or it is traveling in a uniform velocity
    throughout.
    R = √Rx²+Ry²
    where:
    R = resultant force
    Rx = summation of forces along x (ΣFx)
    Ry = summation of forces along y (ΣFy)
    F1, F2,…. = forces applied
    Topic 3

    Moment of Force
    What is the Moment of Force?

    - is
    defined as the product of the magnitude
    of the force by the perpendicular distance
    from the point of action
    Varignon’s Theorem

    - states
    that the moment of a force is
    equivalent to the sum of the moments of its
    components.
