IX. Principles of Dynamics

9.1 General
Dynamics
-is a branch of mechanics that considers the study of effect of forces to bodies that are in motion
-the study of the effect of forces in motion to the bodies also in motion

9.2 Kinematics and Kinetics

Kinematics
- branch is a branch of classical mechanics which is solely focused on the movement of various bodies,
without addressing the forces which can influence movement which considers the relation between displacement,
velocity and acceleration

Kinetics
- branch of mechanics that explains how and why things move in the ways they do which considers the
relation between mass and acceleration

9.3 Motion of Particle

Displacement s (m)- is the vector distance travelled by an object from an origin to the point being occupied on its path
of travel. If the change in displacement ∆s is positive (to the right of the origin), the change in the path travelled is
increased. If the change in displacement ∆s is negative (to the left of the origin), the change in the path travelled is
decreased. If the change in displacement ∆s is zero, there is no change in position at all.

m Δs
Velocity v ( )- is the time rate of change of displacement. That is v ave = .
s Δt
Δ s ds
The instantaneous velocity will be found as ∆t approaches zero as a limit. That is v= lim = .

9.4 Newton’s Law of Motion of a Particle

Law of Inertia
A particle acted upon a balanced force system has no acceleration.

Law of Acceleration
A particle acted upon n unbalanced force system has an acceleration in line with and directly proportional to
the resultant of the force system.

Law of Action and Reaction

Action and reaction forces between two particles are always equal and opposite in magnitude.

9.5 Fundamental Equation of Kinetics of Particles

 1st Assumption: If a body has weight W is acted upon different forces(say F1, F2, F3, …) has a resultant R. Applying
the Law of Acceleration: R=ka
2nd Assumption: If a body has a weight W is in the vacuum. Since R=W which is only influenced by the acceleration
due to gravity. Applying the Law of Acceleration: W=kg
W W
If R=ka and W=kg; therefore R=
a. Since m(mass)= ; R=ma.
g g
R=F x + F y + F z=ma x + ma y + ma z

9.6 Effective Force on a Particle. Inertia Force

Effective force on a particle is the resultant force on the particle. That is equal to R or ma.

Inertia Force is an equal but oppositely directed reaction to the resultant force acting on a particle.

Dynamic Equilibrium is a state where the inertia force is considered to act on a particle together with the resultant
force; the particle will be in a state of equilibrium.

9.7 D’Alembert’s Principle

When different forces act on a system such that it is in motion with acceleration in a particular direction, the vector sum
of all the forces acting on the system including the inertia force (‘ma’ taken in the opposite direction to the direction of
the acceleration) is zero or will be in dynamic equilibrium.

9.8 Motion of Center of Gravity of Any Body

1st Assumption: Consider the X component of each term, we have ΣX =m 1 a 1x + m 2 a2 x + m3 a3 x + …
2nd Assumption: From statics, the X component of the center of gravity is given as
m x́ =m1 x 1+ m2 x 2+ m3 x 3+ …
If we get the 2nd derivative: m á x =m 1 a1 x + m2 a2 x + m3 a3 x + …
We can get m á x =ΣX
If applied to Y and Z axis R=m á

9.9 Applying the Principles of Dynamics

Students should study the principles of dynamics if they’re going to venture engineering of other allied physical science
course. Those principles were useless if they won’t apply it to various problems that require it. Although dynamics is
very essential, it also has its limitation of it is only applicable to rigid bodies. Knowing that there are no rigid bodies,
some solids can resist deformation depending on the applied pressure, so the deformation is almost negligible. So
application of dynamics is concentrated on translational (rectilinear and curvilinear), rotational, and plane motion of
bodies.

X. Rectilinear Translation

10.1 Definition and Characteristics of Translation

Translation motion of a rigid body such that a line connecting any two points of the body is shifted parallel to itself.
During translational motion, all points of the body describe identical trajectories, that is, trajectories coincident when
superposed, and have at every instant velocities and accelerations that are the same in magnitude and direction. The
translational motion of a body is therefore treated in much the same way as the kinematics of a particle. Translational
motion is the movement of an object through space without rotation.
Translation may either be Rectilinear or Curvilinear
An object has a rectilinear motion when it moves along a straight line. Meaning all point on a rigid body move in a
straight line.
An object has a curvilinear motion when its translation is along a curve path.

10.2 Rectilinear Motion with Constant Acceleration

dv =adt  ∫ dv=a ∫ dt

10.3 Freely Falling Bodies, Air Resistance Neglected

In the absence of air resistance we find that all bodies, regardless of their size, weight or composition, fall with the
same acceleration at the same point on the earth’s surface, and if the distance covered are not too great. The
acceleration remains constant throughout the fall. This ideal motion, in which air resistance and the small change in
acceleration with altitude is neglected, is called “free fall. The acceleration of a freely falling body is called acceleration
due to gravity and is denoted by g (a=g). Near the earth’s surface, its magnitude is approximately:
m cm ft
g=9.8 2
=980 2 =32 2 and is directed down toward the center of the earth. Formulas of freely falling body
s s s
is the same as the formulas of motion with constant acceleration but take note to change a to g. In some cases, there
were problems where the initial direction of motion is not always downward, with that; it will tell whether the
displacement, velocity, and acceleration are positive or negative.

10.4 Rectilinear Motion with Variable Acceleration

In this case, the acceleration is varying. We must work with the given data then apply the principles of motion using
differential equations since only s, v, a, and t are interrelated to each other.
The 1st case is where displacement is given with respect to time i.e. s=f(t). In this case, v and a can be solved by
successive differentiation.
 The 2nd case is where the acceleration is expressed in terms of time i.e. a=f(t). In this case, v and s can be solved
using definite integration.
The 3rd case is where the given is velocity in terms of time i.e. v=f(t). In this case, s and a can be solved by
differentiation and definite integration.
The 4th case is where one of the principal variables is given in terms of the adjacent variable i.e. a=f(v) or v=f(s). One
can solve this type by manipulating and simplifying different differential equations involving the parameters.
The 5th case is where the given variables are not adjacent i.e. a=f(s). Same method is applied as case 4 in solving.

10.5 Motion Curves

In the analyzation of the performance of machines in motion, motion curves are the best way to represent them.
In the displacement-time curve, the displacement at any instant together with time is plotted. The slope of the said
curve is the same as the velocity.
In the velocity-time curve, the velocity at any instant together with time is plotted. The slope of the said curve is also the
acceleration.
Lastly, the acceleration-time curve is a curve where the acceleration at any instant with the corresponding time is
plotted.
In the reverse process, getting the area under the curve of acceleration-time and velocity-time using integration will
give ∆v and ∆s respectively.

10.6 Kinetics of Rectilinear Translation. Analysis as a Particle

In the lesson 9.8, we got the equation R=m á . Since in rectilinear, only one direction has a value. So if m á=ΣX ,
ΣY and ΣZ is zero.
Here are some steps that can help in solving some problems involving this:
a. Draw the free body diagram and indicate the given data with proper signs.
b. Determine the direction of each motion and indicate it by dashed arrow
c. Determine the kinematic relationship between the bodies involved
d. Use ΣY =0 and m á=ΣX to each body
e. Solve the unknowns using additional derived equations in relation with s, v, and t.

10.7 Dynamic Equilibrium in Translation. Analysis as a Rigid Body

If we already know how to calculate the magnitude of the resultant of the translating body, here we will predict the
direction or location of the resultant.
Using the D’Alembert’s Principles where dynamic equilibrium is associated, we can predict where an accelerated body
will reach its state of equilibrium.
