Static and Dynamic Chapter 1: Introduction

This document provides an introduction to static mechanics. It defines static mechanics as dealing with bodies at rest or in constant motion. Key terms are defined such as length, space, time, mass, force, particle, and rigid body. Newton's three laws of motion are summarized. The relationship between mass and weight is explained using gravitational force. Common units of measurement in SI and US customary systems are listed. Examples show conversions between units and solving basic algebraic, trigonometric, and geometric equations relevant to static mechanics.

Static and Dynamic

Chapter 1 : Introduction

Introduction to static

Mechanics can be defined as that branch of


the physical sciences concern with the state
of rest or motion of bodies that are
subjected to the action forces.

Basic mechanics is composed of two


principal areas:

Static

Deal with the equilibrium of bodies, that is, those


that are either at rest or move with a constant
velocity

Dynamic

Concern with the accelerated motion of bodies.

Fundamental concept

Basic terms

Length
needed to locate the position of a point in
space and thereby describe the size of a
physical system.
once a standard unit of length is defined, one
can then quantitatively define distances and
geometric properties of a body as multiples of
the unit length.

Space
the geometry region occupied by bodies whose
positions are described by linear and
angular measurement relative to a
coordinate system.
for three-dimensional problems three
independent coordinates are needed.
for two-dimensional problems only two
coordinates will required.

Time

the measure of the succession of event and


is a basic quantity in dynamics for threedimensional problems three independent
coordinates are needed.

not directly involved in the analysis of static


problems

Mass

a measure of the inertia of a body, which is its


resistance to a change of velocity.

can be regarded as the quantity of matter in a


body.

the property of every body by which it


experiences mutual attraction to other bodies.

Force

the action of one body on another.


tends to move a body in the direction of its action.
the action of a force is characterized by its magnitude,
by the direction of its action, and by its points of
application.

Particle

has a mass, but a size that can be neglected.


Example: the size of the earth is significant compared
to the size of its orbit, therefore the earth can be
modeled as a particle when studying its orbital motion.
when the is idealized as a particle, the principles of
mechanics reduce to a rather simplified form since the
geometry of the body will not involved in the analysis
of the problem.

Rigid body

can be considered as a combination of a


large number of particles in which all the
particles remain at a fixed distance from one
another both before and after applying a load.

as the result, the material properties of any that


is assumed to be rigid will not have to
considered when analyzing the forces acting on
the body.

in most cases the actual deformation occurring


in structures, machines, mechanisms, and the
like are relatively small, and the rigid-body
assumption is suitable for analysis.

Conversion factors

Newtons three laws of


motion

First law

A body at rest will remain at rest, and a body in


motion will remain at a uniform speed in a
straight line, unless it is acted on by an
imbalanced force.

F1

F2
v

F3

Second Law

A particle acted upon by an unbalanced force, F


experiences acceleration, a that has the same
direction as the force and magnitude that is
proportional to the force

If F is applied t a particle of mass, m, this law may


be expressed mathematically as

F = ma

Accelerated motion

Third Law

For every action, there is an equal but opposite


reaction..
force of A on B

force of B on A

Action - Reaction

Which person in this ring will be harder


to move? The sumo wrestler or the little
boy?

Newtons law of
gravitational attraction

Gravitational attraction between any two particles is gover after


formulating Law of motion

F G 2
r

Where

= force of gravitation between the two particles

G = universal constant of gravitation; according to


experimental evidence,
m1,m2= mass of each of the two particle
r

= distance between the two particles

Weight

What is the different between Mass and


Weight?

The relationship between mass and weight can be


expressed

develop an approximate expression for finding the weight,


W of a particle having a mass m1 = m

Assume the earth to be a non-rotating sphere of constant


density and having a mass m2 = Me, then if r is the distance
between the earths center and the particle, we have
