    The architects and engineers are guided by the principles of

    statics during each step of the design and construction of a

    building. Statics is one of the sciences underlying the art of

    structural design.

    CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION

    Mechanics can be defined as that branch of the

    physical sciences concerned with the state of rest

    or motion of bodies that are sujected to the actionof forces.

    MECHANICS

    Statics:Deals with the equilibrium of bodies, that is those that

    are either at rest or move with a constant velocity.

    Dynamics:

    Is concerned with the accelerated motion of bodies.

    FUNDAMENTAL CONCEPTS

    Idealization:

    - Particle:

    A particle has a mass but size that can be neglected.

    - Rigid body:

    A rigid body can be considered as a combination of a large

    number of particles in which all the particles remain at fixed

    distance from one another both before and after applying a load.

    - Concentrated force:

    Represents the effect of a loading which is assumed to act at a

    point on a body.

    Newtons Three Laws of Motion:

    - First Law:

    A particle originally at rest or moving in a straight line with

    constant velocity, will remain in this state.

    - Second Law:

    A particle acted upon by an unbalanced force F experiences an

    acceleration a that has the same direction as force and a

    magnitude that is directly proportional to the force:

    F = m a- Third Law:

    The mutual forces of action and

    reaction between two particles

    are equal, opposite and colliner.

    Example:

    1. A man is riding a biycle at a speed

    of 6 meters per second (m/s). How

    fast is he going in kilometers per

    hour (km/h).

    Solution:

    6m/s = 6 m/s . (1km/1000m). (3600s/1h) = 21,6km/h.

    1.1. Engineering and Mechanics:

    Strategy:

    One kilometer is 1000 meter and one hour is 60 minutes x60 second = 3600 seconds. We can use these unit

    conversion to determine his speed in km/h.

    2. The pressure exerted at point of the

    hull of the deep submersible vehicule is

    3.106Pa. Determine the pressure in

    pound per square foot.

    1.1. Engineering and Mechanics:

    Solution:

    The pressure is:

    3.106 N/m2= 3.106N/m2 x (1lb/4,448N) x (0,3m/1ft)2 = 62,700 lb/ft2

    Example:

    Strategy:

    1 pound = 4,448N and 1 foot =

    0,3meters.

    Example:

    1. The C- clamp weights 14 oz at sea level (16 oz (ounces) = 1 lb).

    And g = 9,81m/s2. what is the mass of the C-lamp in kg?

    Strategy:

    - Determining the weight of the C clamp in

    Newton.

    - Using Eq.(1.6) to determine the mass in kg.

    1.2. Newtonian Gravitation:

    Solution:

    14 oz = 14 oz (1lb/16oz).(4,448N/lb)= 3,892N.

    m = W/g = 3,982 (kg.m/s2)

    /(9,81m/s2) = 0,397kg.

    Graphical representation of a vector

    The arrow represents the vector graphically and used to define

    the vector magnitude, direction.

    The magnitude is the length of the arrow and the direction is

    defined by the angle between a reference axis and the arrows line

    of action.

    The sense is indicated by the arrowhead.

    The direction of a vector includes both its inclination and

    its sense. You might say the "sense" of a vector is its sign.

    The two vectors shown have the same inclination (vertical)

    but opposite senses. (One is up, the other, down.)

    - A force is vector quantity since it has a specified

    magnitude and direction.

    - Two common problems in statics involve either finding the

    resultant force given its components or resolving a known

    force into components.

    - The law of cosines is often used to find the magnitude,

    while the law of sines is used to find the direction.

    The dot product of U and V:

    U.V = |U|.|V|cos (2.13)

    The dot product has the properties:

    U.V = V.U (The dot product is commutative).

    a(U.V) = aU.V = U.(aV) (The dot product is

    associate with respect scalar multiplication).

    U.(V + W) = U.V + U.W (The dot product

    is associate with respect to vector addtion).

    Example:

    1. The components of two vectors U and V are U = 6i 5j k and V = 4i

    + 2j + 2k.

    a) Determine the cross product U x V.

    b) Use the dot product to prove that U x V is perpendicular to V.

    Strategy:

    - Use Eq (2.19) to determine U x V

    - Due to prove U x V is perpendicular to U by showing that

    (U x V).U = 0 (Use Eq (2.14)) .
