The focus on particles does not impl a restriction to miniscule bodies. Rather, the stud is restricted to analses in which the size and shape of the bodies is not significant so that all forces ma be assumed to be applied at a single point. force: action of one bod on another; characterized b its point of application, magnitude, line of action, and sense. Eperimental evidence shows that the combined effect of two forces ma be represented b a single resultant force. The resultant is equivalent to the diagonal of a parallelogram which contains the two forces in adacent legs. Force is a vector quantit

2 Vectors Vector: parameter possessing magnitude and direction which add according to the parallelogram law. Eamples: displacements, velocities, accelerations. Scalar: parameter possessing magnitude but not direction. Eamples: mass, volume, temperature Vector classifications: - Fied or bound vectors have well defined points of application that cannot be changed without affecting an analsis. - Free vectors ma be freel moved in space without changing their effect on an analsis. - Sliding vectors ma be applied anwhere along their line of action without affecting an analsis. Equal vectors have the same magnitude and direction. Negative vector of a given vector has the same magnitude and the opposite direction. - 5 Addition of Vectors C B C B Trapezoid rule for vector addition Triangle rule for vector addition Law of cosines, R P + Q PQ cos B R P + Q Law of sines, sin A sin B sin C Q R A Vector addition is commutative, P + Q Q + P Vector subtraction - 6 Addition of Vectors Addition of three or more vectors through repeated application of the triangle rule The polgon rule for the addition of three or more vectors. Vector addition is associative, P + Q + S P + Q + S P + Q + S ( ) ( ) Resultant of Several Concurrent Forces Concurrent forces: set of forces which all pass through the same point. A set of concurrent forces applied to a particle ma be replaced b a single resultant force which is the vector sum of the applied forces. Vector force components: two or more force vectors which, together, have the same effect as a single force vector. Multiplication of a vector b a scalar - 7-8

Graphical solution - construct a parallelogram with sides in the same direction as P and Q and lengths in proportion. Graphicall evaluate the resultant which is equivalent in direction and proportional in magnitude to the the diagonal. Trigonometric solution - use the triangle rule for vector addition in conunction with the law of cosines and law of sines to find the resultant. Graphical solution - A parallelogram with sides equal to P and Q is drawn to scale. The magnitude and direction of the resultant or of the diagonal to the parallelogram are measured, R 98 N α 35 Graphical solution - A triangle is drawn with P and Q head-to-tail and to scale. The magnitude and direction of the resultant or of the third side of the triangle are measured, R 98 N α Sample Problem.1 Trigonometric solution - Appl the triangle rule.
