6 Introduction Treatment of a body as a single particle is not always possible. In general, the size of the body and the specific points of application of the forces must be considered. 3-6

7 Introduction Most bodies in elementary mechanics are assumed to be rigid, i.e., the actual deformations are small and do not affect the cons of equilibrium or motion of the body. 3-7

8 Introduction: Objectives Current chapter describes the effect of forces exerted on a rigid body and how to replace a given system of forces with a simpler equivalent system. - moment of a force about a point - moment of a force about an axis - moment due to a couple 3-8

9 Introduction Any system of forces acting on a rigid body can be replaced by an equivalent system consisting of one force acting at a given point and one couple. 3-9

10 External and Internal Forces Forces acting on rigid bodies are divided into two groups: - External forces - Internal forces 3-10

11 External and Internal Forces External forces are shown in a free-body diagram. If unopposed, each external force can impart a motion of translation or rotation, or both. 3-11

12 Principle of Transmissibility: Equivalent Forces Principle of Transmissibility - Cons of equilibrium or motion are not affected by transmitting a force along its line of action. 3-12

13 Principle of Transmissibility: Equivalent Forces NOTE: F and F are equivalent forces. 3-13

14 Principle of Transmissibility: Equivalent Forces Moving the point of application of the force F to the rear bumper does not affect the motion or the other forces acting on the truck. 3-14

15 Principle of Transmissibility: Equivalent Forces Principle of transmissibility may not always apply in determining internal forces and deformations. 3-15

16 Vector classifications: -Fixed or bound vectors have well defined points of application that cannot be changed -Free vectors may be freely moved in space -Sliding vectors may be applied anywhere along their line of action without affecting an analysis. 2-16

17 Moment of a Force About a Point A force vector is defined by its magnitude and direction. Its effect on the rigid body also depends on it point of application. The moment of F about O is defined as M r O F 3-17

18 Moment of a Force About a Point M r O F The moment vector M O is perpendicular to the plane containing O and the force F. 3-18

19 Moment of a Force About a Point Magnitude of M O measures the tendency of the force to cause rotation of the body about an axis along M O. M O rf sinθ Fd The sense of the moment may be determined by the right-hand rule. 3-19

35 Moment of a Force About a Point Any force F that has the same magnitude and direction as F, is equivalent if it also has the same line of action and therefore, produces the same moment. 3-35

44 Sample Problem 3.1 e) Although each of the forces in parts b), c), and d) produces the same moment as the 100 N force, none are of the same magnitude and sense, or on the same line of action. None of the forces is equivalent to the 100 N force. 3-44

67 Moment of a Couple The moment vector of the couple is independent of the choice of the origin of the coordinate axes, i.e., it is a free vector that can be applied at any point with the same effect. 3-67

68 Equivalent couples If the wheel was connected to the shaft at a point other than the centre, the wheel would still turn as 12 Nm is a couple and a free vector. 3-68

104 Special cases 3-104

105 Further Reduction of a System of Forces If the resultant force and couple at O are mutually perpendicular, they can be replaced by a single force acting along a new line of action

106 Further Reduction of a System of Forces The resultant force-couple system for a system of forces will be mutually perpendicular 1) the forces are concurrent, 2) the forces are coplanar, 3) the forces are parallel

107 Concurrent forces 3-107

134 Pauli Effect in Action It was a standing joke among Wolfgang Pauli's colleagues that the famed theoretical physicist should be kept as far away from experimental equipment as humanly possible. His mere presence in a laboratory, it was said, would cause something to go wrong: the power would fail, 3-134

135 Pauli Effect in Action vacuum tubes would suddenly leak, instruments would break or malfunction. Indeed, such was the frequency of Pauli-related incidents that the strange phenomenon came to be known as the 'Pauli Effect'

136 One day, a group of Pauli's mischievous colleagues set up a practical joke to show the strange effect in action: an elaborate contraption was designed and constructed to bring a chandelier crashing down the moment Pauli arrived at a large reception. Pauli duly appeared on schedule and the Pauli effect was demonstrated, though not as the mischievous crew had planned: 3-136

137 no sooner was the mechanism activated than a pulley jammed - and the chandelier did not come down. One day, some important experimental equipment in Professor James Frank's laboratory at the Physics Institute at the University of Gottingen unexpectedly blew up for no apparent reason. Moreover, Pauli, who was on his way to Denmark, had not even entered the building

138 Only later was it discovered that the catastrophe had taken place at the precise moment that the train carrying Pauli from Zurich to Copenhagen had stopped to collect passengers at the Gottingen railroad station 3-138

143 Vector Product of Two Vectors Concept of the moment of a force about a point is more easily understood through applications of the vector product or cross product

144 Vector Product of Two Vectors Vector product of two vectors P and Q is defined as the vector V which satisfies the following cons: 1.Line of action of V is perpendicular to plane containing P and Q

145 Vector Product of Two Vectors 2. Magnitude of V is V PQ sin θ 3. Direction of V is obtained from the righthand rule

147 Moment of a Force About a Point Two-dimensional structures have length and breadth but negligible depth and are subjected to forces contained in the plane of the structure

148 Moment of a Force About a Point The plane of the structure contains the point O and the force F. M O, the moment of the force about O is perpendicular to the plane

149 Moment of a Force About a Point If the force tends to rotate the structure counter clockwise, the sense of the moment vector is out of the plane of the structure and the magnitude of the moment is positive

150 Moment of a Force About a Point If the force tends to rotate the structure clockwise, the sense of the moment vector is into the plane of the structure and the magnitude of the moment is negative
