1.1 MECHANICS
Body of Knowledge which Deals with the Study and Prediction of the State of Rest or Motion of Particles and Bodies under the action of Forces
PARTS OF MECHANICS
1.2 STATICS
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 and will be dealt in another course.

STATICS OF PARTICLES
2.1 PARTICLE
A particle has a mass but a size that can be neglected.
When a body is idealised as a particle, the principles of mechanics reduce to a simplified form, since the geometry of the body will not be concerned in the analysis of the problem.
PARTICLE CONTINUED
All the forces acting on a body will be assumed to be applied at the same point, that is the forces are assumed concurrent.
2.2 FORCE ON A PARTICLE
A Force is a Vector quantity and must have Magnitude, Direction and Point of action.

P
Force on a Particle Contd.
Note: Point P is the point of action of force and and are directions. To notify that F is a vector, it is printed in bold as in text books.
Its magnitude is denoted as |F| or simply F.
Force on a Particle Contd.There can be many forces acting on a
particle.
The resultant of a system of forces on a particle is the single force which has the same effect as the system of forces.
The resultant of two forces can be found using the parallelogram law.

2.3 Resolution of ForcesIt has been shown that the
resultant of forces acting at the same point (concurrent forces) can be found.
In the same way, a given force, F can be resolved into components.
There are two major cases.
Resolution of Forces: Case 1
(a) When one of the two components, P is known: The second component Q is obtained using the triangle rule. Join the tip of P to the tip of F. The magnitude and direction of Q are determined graphically or by trigonometry.
F
P Q
i.e. F = P + Q
Resolution of Forces: Case 2(b) When the line of action of each component is known: The force, F can be
resolved into two components having lines of action along lines ‘a’ and ‘b’ using the
paralleogram law. From the head of F, extend a line parallel to ‘a’ until it intersects ‘b’.
Likewise, a line parallel to ‘b’ is drawn from the head of F to the point of intersection with
‘a’. The two components P and Q are then drawn such that they extend from the tail of
F to points of intersection.

RECTANGULAR COMPONENTS OF FORCE CONTD.
In many problems, it is desirable to resolve force F into two perpendicular components in the x and y directions.
Fx and Fy are called rectangular vector components.
In two-dimensions, the Cartesian unit vectors i and j are used to designate the directions of x and y axes.
Fx = Fx i and Fy = Fy j i.e. F = Fx i + Fy j Fx and Fy are scalar components of F
RECTANGULAR COMPONENTS OF FORCE CONTD.
While the scalars Fx and Fy may be positive or negative, depending on the sense of Fx and Fy, their absolute values are respectively equal to the magnitude of the components forces Fx and Fy. Scalar components of F have magnitudes
Fx = F cos θ and Fy = F Sin θ
Where F is the magnitude of the force F

2.5. EQUILIBRIUM OF A PARTICLEA particle is said to be at equilibrium when the resultant of all the forces acting on it is
zero. It two forces are involved on a body in equilibrium, then the forces are equal and
opposite.

The closed polygon provides a graphical expression of the equilibrium of forces.
Mathematically: For equilibrium:
R = F = 0
i.e. ( Fx i + Fy j) = 0 or (Fx) i + (Fy) j
EQUILIBRIUM OF A PARTICLE CONCLUDED For equilibrium: Fx = 0 and F y = 0. Note: Considering Newton’s first law of
motion, equilibrium can mean that the particle is either at rest or moving in a straight line at constant speed.
FREE BODY DIAGRAMS: Space diagram represents the sketch of the
physical problem. The free body diagram selects the significant particle or points and draws the force system on that particle or point.
Steps: 1. Imagine the particle to be isolated or cut free
from its surroundings. Draw or sketch its outlined shape.
Free Body Diagrams Contd.
2. Indicate on this sketch all the forces that act on the particle.
These include active forces - tend to set the particle in motion e.g. from cables and weights and reactive forces caused by constraints or supports that prevent motion.
Free Body Diagrams Contd.
3. Label known forces with their magnitudes and directions. use letters to represent magnitudes and directions of unknown forces.
Assume direction of force which may be corrected later.
