CHAPTER
IntroductionMechanics is the science which deals with the action of forces on different types of bodies either
in motion or at rest.
Engineering mechanics is the application of mechanics to solve problems involving common
engineering elements.
Engineering Mechanics can be broadly classified as:
In this course material we will study about the mechanics of particles and rigid bodies.
Particle: It is a portion of matter which is indefinitely small in size.
Rigid body: A rigid body may be defined as a body in which the relative positions of any two
particles do not change under the action of forces. Statics deals primarily with the calculation of
external forces which act on rigid body in equilibrium.

CHAPTER 2
STATICS
Introduction
Statics deals with system of forces that keeps a body in equilibrium. In other words the resultantof force systems on the body are zero.
Force:A force is completely defined only when the following three characters are specified.
Magnitude Point of application
Line of action/Direction
Scalar and Vector:
A quantity is said to be scalar if it is completely defined by its magnitudealone. e.g. length, energy, work etc. A quantity is said to be vector if it is completely defined only
when its magnitude and direction is specified. e.g. force, acceleration.
Equivalent Force System
Coplanar force system: If all the forces in the system lie in a single plane, it is called coplanarforce system.
Concurrent force system:
If line of action of all the forces in a system passes through a singlepoint it is called concurrent force system.
Collinear force system:
In a system, all the forces parallel to each other, if line of action of all
forces lie along a single line then it is called a collinear force system.
Force system Example
Coplanar like parallel force is straight. Weight of stationary train on rail off the track
Coplanar concurrent Forces on a rod resting against wall.
Coplanar non- concurrent force Forces on a ladder resting against a wall when
a person stands on a rung which is not at its
center of gravity.
Non- coplanar parallel The weight of benches in class room
Non- coplanar concurrent force A tripod carrying camera
Non- coplanar non-concurrent force Forces acting on moving bus

Newtons law of motion
First Law: Everybody continues in its state of rest or of uniform motion in a straight line unless itis compelled to change that state by force acting on it.
Second law:
The rate of change of momentum of a body is directly proportional to the applied
force & it takes place in the direction in which the force acts.
F(m dvdt)
Third law:
For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
Principle of transmissibility of force: The state of rest or motion of rigid body is unaltered if a
force action on a body is replaced by another force of the same magnitude and direction butacting anywhere on the body along the line of action of applied force.
Parallelogram law of forces:
If two forces acting simultaneously on a body at a point are
represented in magnitude and direction by the two adjacent sides of a parallelogram their
resultant is represented in magnitude and direction by the diagonal of the parallelogram which
passes through the point of intersection of the two sides representing the forces.
Equilibrium and Free Body Diagrams
Coplanar Concurrent Forces
Triangle law of forces:If two forces acting simultaneously on a body are represented by the sides
of triangle taken in order, their resultant is represented by the closing side of the triangle takenin the opposite order.

If a number of forces acting at a point be represented in magnitude and direction by the sides of
a polygon in order, then the resultant of all these forces may be represented in magnitude and
direction by the closing side of the polygon taken in opposite order
Resultant (R) =
t an( )
= angle between two forces, = inclination of resultant with force P1When forces acting on a body are collinear, their resultant is equal to the algebraic sum of the
forces.
amis theorem: (only three coplanar concurrent forces) If a body is in equilibrium under the
action of three forces, then each force is proportional to the sine of the angle between the othertwo forces.

Free body diagram:A free body diagram is a pictorial representation used to analyze the forcesacting on afree body.Once we decide which body or combination of bodies to analyze, we thentreat this body or combination as a single body isolated from all our surrounding bodies
A free body diagram shows allcontact andnon-contactforces acting on the body.

Force exerted by the cable is always a tension away from the body in the direction of the cable.
Smooth surfaces
Contact force is compressive and is normal to the surface.
Rough surfaces
Rough surfaces are capable of supporting a tangential component F (frictional force as well as anormal component N of the resultant R.
Roller support
Roller, rocker or ball support transmits a compressive force normal to supporting surface.

Collar or slider support force normal to guide only. There is no tangential force as surfaces are
considered to be smooth.
Pin connection
A freely hinged pin supports a force in any direction in the plane normal to the axis; usually
shown as two components Rxand Ry. A pin not free to turn also supports a couple M.
Built in or fixed end
A built-in or fixed end supports an axial force F, a transverse force V, and a bending moment M.
Coplanar Non-Concurrent Forces
Varignons theorem:
The algebraic sum of the moments of a system of coplanar forces about a
momentum center in their plane is equal to the moment of their resultant forces about the same
moment center.
R.d = P1.d1+P2.d2
Effect of couple is unchanged if
Couple is rotated through any angle.
Couple is shifted to any position.
The couple is replaced by another pair of forces whose rotated effect is the same. Couple is free vector
