3 1.1 Mechanics Mechanics can be divided into 3 branches: - Rigid-body Mechanics - Deformable-body Mechanics - Fluid Mechanics Rigid-body Mechanics deals with - Statics Equilibrium of bodies, at rest, and Moving with constant velocity - Dynamics Accelerated motion of bodies 3

4 1.2 Fundamentals Concepts Basic Quantities Length - locate the position of a point in space Mass - measure of a quantity of matter Time - succession of events Force - a push or pull exerted by one body on another Idealizations Particles - has a mass and size can be neglected Rigid Body - a combination of a large number of particles Concentrated Force - the effect of a loading 4

5 1.2 Newton s Laws of Motion First Law - A particle originally at rest, or moving in a straight line with constant velocity, will remain in this state provided that the particle is not subjected to an unbalanced force. Second Law - A particle acted upon by an unbalanced force F experiences an acceleration a that has the same direction as the force and a magnitude that is directly proportional to the force. Third Law - The mutual forces of action and reaction between two particles are equal and, opposite and collinear. F ma 5

7 2.1 Scalar and Vector Scalar A quantity characterized by a positive or negative number, Indicated by letters in italic such as A, e.g. Mass, volume and length Vector A quantity that has magnitude and direction, e.g. Position, force and moment, presented as A and its magnitude (positive quantity) as A Vector Subtraction R = A B = A + ( - B ) Finding a Resultant Force Parallelogram law is carried out to find the resultant force F R = ( F 1 + F 2 ) 7

8 2.4 Addition of a System of Coplanar Forces Scalar Notation Components of forces expressed as algebraic scalars F x F cos and F y F sin Cartesian Vector Notation Cartesian unit vectors i and j are used to designate the x and y directions with unit vectors i and j F Fi F j x y Coplanar Force Resultants F F i F j 1 1x 1y F F i F j 2 2x 2 y F F i F j 3 3x 3 y Coplanar Force Resultants Scalar notation F F F F F F i j R Rx Ry F F Rx Ry F F 1x 1y F F 2x 2 y F F 3x 3y 8

9 Example 2.6 The link is subjected to two forces F 1 and F 2. Determine the magnitude and orientation of the resultant force. Cartesian Vector Notation F 1 = { 600cos30 i + 600sin30 j } N F 2 = { -400sin45 i + 400cos45 j } N Thus, F R = F 1 + F 2 = (600cos30ºN - 400sin45ºN)i + (600sin30ºN + 400cos45ºN)j = {236.8i j}N The magnitude and direction of F R are determined in the same manner as before. 9

10 2.5 Cartesian Vectors Right-Handed Coordinate System A rectangular or Cartesian coordinate system is said to be right-handed provided: Rectangular Components of a Vector A vector A may have one, two or three rectangular components along the x, y and z axes, depending on orientation By two successive application of the parallelogram law A = A + A z A = A x + A y Combing the equations, A can be expressed as A = A x + A y + A z A A ua 10

11 2.5 Direction Cosines of a Cartesian Vector Orientation of A is defined as the coordinate direction angles α, β and γ measured between A and the positive x, y and z axes, 0 α, β and γ 180 The direction cosines of A is A x cos A A y cos A A z cos A ua A / A ( Ax / A ) i + ( Ay / A) j + ( Az / A) k ua cosi + cos j + cos k cos + cos + cos = 1 A A u A A cosi + A cos j + A cos k Ax i + Ay j + Az k 11

12 Example 2.8 Express the force F as Cartesian vector. Solution : Since two angles are specified, the third angle is found by cos cos cos 1 cos 2 cos cos o cos 45 2 ( 0. 5 ) ( ) 2 o 1 2 ± 0. 5 o cos 1 o ( ) or cos By inspection, β= 60º since F x is in the +x direction Given F = 200N F F cos i+ Fcos jf cos k =(200cos60 N) +(200cos60 N) +(200cos45 N) ={100.0i j k}n Checking: i j k F F 2 x F 2 y F 2 z N 12

13 2.7 Position Vectors: Displacement and Force Position Displacement Vector r = xi + yj + zk F can be formulated as a Cartesian vector F = F u = F ( r / r ) 13

14 Example 2.13 The man pulls on the cord with a force of 350N. Represent this force acting on the support A, as a Cartesian vector and determine its direction. Solution: r m 2m 6m 7m 14

15 2.9 Dot Product Laws of Operation 1. Commutative law A B = B A or A T B=B T A 2. Multiplication by a scalar a(a B) = (aa) B = A (ab) = (A B)a 3. Distribution law A (B + D) = (A B) + (A D) Cartesian Vector Formulation - Dot product of Cartesian unit vectors i i = 1 j j = 1 k k = 1 i j = 0 i k = 1 j k = 1 Applications - The angle formed between two vectors cos ( AB / ( A B )) The components of a vector parallel and perpendicular to a line Aa A cos Au 15

17 Solution Since result is a positive scalar, F AB has the same sense of direction as u B. F F u AB AB AB 257.1N 0.286i j 0.429k {73.5i 220 j 110 k} N Perpendicular component F F F 300 j (73.5i 220 j 110 k) { 73.5i 80 j 110 k} N AB Magnitude can be determined from F or from Pythagorean Theorem F F FAB 300N 257.1N 155N 17

27 4.1 Moment of a Force Scalar Formation Moment of a force about a point or axis a measure of the tendency of the force to cause a body to rotate about the point or axis Torque tendency of rotation caused by F x or simple moment (M o ) z Magnitude For magnitude of M O, M O = Fd (Nm) where d = perpendicular distance from O to its line of action of force Direction Direction using right hand rule Resultant Moment M Ro = Fd 27

28 4.2 Cross Product Cross product of two vectors A and B yields C, which is written as C = A x B = (AB sinθ)u C Laws of Operations 1. Commutative law is not valid A x B B x A Rather, A x B = - B x A 2. Multiplication by a Scalar a( A x B ) = (aa) x B = A x (ab) = ( A x B )a 3. Distributive Law A x ( B + D ) = ( A x B ) + ( A x D ) Proper order of the cross product must be maintained since they are not commutative 28

29 4.2 Cross Product Cartesian Vector Formulation Use C = AB sinθ on a pair of Cartesian unit vectors A more compact determinant in the form as AB i j k A A A x y z B B B x y z Moment of force F about point O can be expressed using cross product M O = r x F For magnitude of cross product, M O = rf sinθ Treat r as a sliding vector.

37 Example 4.12 Determine the couple moment acting on the pipe. Segment AB is directed 30 below the x y plane. Take moment about point O, M = r A x (-250k) + r B x (250k) = (0.8j) X (-250k) + (0.66cos30ºi + 0.8j 0.6sin30ºk) x (250k) = {-130j}N.cm Take moment about point A M = r AB x (250k) = (0.6cos30 i 0.6sin30 k) x (250k) = {-130j}N.cm Take moment about point A or B, M = Fd = 250N(0.5196m) = 129.9N.cm M acts in the j direction M = {-130j}N.cm 37

40 4.8 Simplification of a Force and Couple System Consists of forces that are all parallel to the z axis 40

41 4.9 Distributed Loading Large surface area of a body may be subjected to distributed loadings, often defined as pressure measured in Pascal (Pa): 1 Pa = 1N/m 2 Magnitude of Resultant Force Magnitude of df is determined from differential area da under the loading curve.
