Units of measurement
Vectors

9. Mechanics
Mechanics is the branch of science that deals with the state of rest or motion of bodies under the action of forces
Mechanics
Mechanics of
rigid bodies
deformable bodies
fluids
In this class we will exclusively deal with the mechanics of rigid bodies.
Few basic principles but exceedingly wide applications

10. Very large Very small Mechanics Statics Dynamics Net force=0
In this class we will deal with the statics of rigid bodies.

11. Modeling Physical Problem Physical Model Mathematical model
(set of equations)
Does answer
make sense?
Physical idealizations: particles,
rigid body, concentrated forces, etc.
Physical laws: Newton’s laws
Applied to each interacting body
(free body diagram)
Solution of equations: Using pen+paper/own code/ canned software like Matlab
Happy 
YES!
No!

12. Physical Idealizations
Continuum: For most engineering applications assume matter to be a continuous distribution rather than a conglomeration of particles.
Rigid body: A continuum that does not undergo any deformation.
Particle: No dimensions, only has mass. Important simplifying assumption for situation where mass is more important than exactly how it is distributed.
Point force: A body transmits force to another through a finite area of contact. But it is sometimes easier to assume that a finite force is transmitted through an infinitesimal area.

13. Newton’s Laws of Motion
Law I: (Principle of equilibrium of forces) A particle remains at rest or continues to move in a straight line with uniform velocity (this is what we mean by being “in equilibrium”) if there is no unbalanced force acting on it.
Inertial reference frame
Necessary condition for equilibrium
Foundation of Statics
Vector equation

14. Newton’s Laws of Motion
Law II: (Nonequilibrium of forces) The acceleration of a particle is proportional to the resultant force acting on it and is in the direction of this force.
is the resultant force acting on a particle of mass ‘m’.
Foundation of Dynamics
Necessary condition for equilibrium corresponding to
Vector equation

15. Newton’s Laws of Motion
Law III: (Principle of action and reaction) If one body exerts a force on a second body, then the second body exerts a force on the first body that is (1) equal in magnitude, (2) opposite in direction and (3) collinear (same line of action).
EXTREMELY IMPORTANT to keep this in mind when working out problems!!

16. Newton’s Laws of Motion
Force (F)
Force (F)
Pencil
W=mg weight of pencil

R (force acting

R (force acting
on the table)
Need to isolate the bodies and consider the forces acting on them (Free Body Diagram).
Be careful about which force in the pair we are talking about!

17. Law of gravitation M.m F=G F
Two bodies of mass M and m are mutually attracted to each other with equal and opposite forces F and –F of magnitude F given by the formula:
M.m r2
F=G
where r is the distance between the center of mass of the two bodies; and G is the Universal Gravitational Constant.
G=3.439(10-8)ft3/(slug*s2) in the U.S customary system of units.
G=6.673(10-11)m3/(kg*s2) in SI system of units M m r F

18. Mass and weight Me.m F=G =mg Me
The mass m of a body is an absolute quantity.
The weight W of a body is the gravitational attraction exerted on the body by the earth or by another massive body such as another planet.
At the surface of the earth:
Me.m
re2
F=G
=mg
Where: Me is the mass of the earth.
re is the mean radius of the earth Me
re2
g=G
At sea level and latitude 450
g =32.17 ft/s2 = m/s2

19. Units of measurement
The U.S customary system of units (the British gravitational system)
Base units are foot (ft) for length, the pound (lb) for force, and the second (s) for time
Pound is defined as the weight at sea level and altitude of 450 of a platinum standard
The international system of units (SI)
Three class of units
(1) base units
(2) derived units
(3) derived units with special name

1 m = ft
Velocity
1 ft/s = m/s
1 m/s = ft/s
Mass

1 kg = slug

22. Scalar and vectors
A scalar quantity is completely described by a magnitude (a number).
-Examples: mass, density, length, speed, time, temperature.
A vector quantity has
1. Magnitude
2. Direction (expressed by the line of action + sense)
3. Obey parallelogram law of addition
-Examples: force, moment, velocity, acceleration.
We will represent vectors by bold face symbols (e.g., F) in the lecture. But, when you write, you can use the symbol with an arrow on top (e.g., )

23. Vectors: geometric representation
A vector is geometrically represented as a line segment with an arrow indicating direction
Line of action F
Length represents magnitude (F)
Head
Tail
Direction of arrow
direction of vector
Length of arrow
magnitude of vector
Question: What is a vector having the same magnitude and line of action, but opposite sense?

24. Operations on Vectors: Multiplication by scalars
magnitude (2F)
magnitude (F) 2F F
magnitude (2F)
magnitude (F)
-2F -F
n can be a fraction less than 1, can n be 0?

25. Operations on Vectors: Adding vectors using Parallelogram Rule
Task: Add two vectors ( P and Q ) to obtain a “resultant” vector (R) that has the same effect as the original vectors
Vectors are added using the Parallelogram law P P + R Q Q
R=P+Q=Q+P
To obtain the resultant, add two vectors using parallelogram law
Addition of vectors is commutative (order does not matter)

26. Vectors in rectangular coordinate systems- two dimensionalx y
(v1,v2) v v2 v1 O
If the tail of the vector (v) is at the origin, then the coordinates of the terminal point (head) (v1,v2) are called the Cartesian components of the vector.
v=(v1,v2)
V = v1 i + v2 j
Or,

27. Vectors in rectangular coordinate systems- multiplication by a scalarx y
(2v1,2v2) 2v
2v2
2v1 O
The components of the vector 2v are (2v1, 2v2)

28. The sum of two vectors – by adding components (two dimensional )x y
(v1+w1,v2+w2) v2 w1
(w1,w2) w2 w v
(v1,v2) v1
Just add the x- and y-components
v+w=(v1+w1,v2+w2)
Or,
v + w = (v1 + w1 )i + (v2 + w2 ) j

29. Vectors in rectangular coordinate systems- Three dimensionalz
(v1,v2,v3) v v2 v2 v3 y O v1 v2 x
(v1,v2,v3) are the coordinates of the terminal point (head) of vector v

30. The sum of two vectors – rectangular components (Three dimensional )z x y
(a1,a2,a3)
(b1,b2,b3) a b O
a+b=(a1 +b1,a2+b2, a3 +b3)

31. Vectors with initial point not at the origin (VERY IMPORTANT!!)z u
P2(x2 ,y2 ,z2)
P1(x1 ,y1 ,z1) w v O x
Coordinates of head minus coordinates of tail
Hence

32. Vectors with initial point not at the origin (VERY IMPORTANT!!)z
z2-z1 u
P2(x2 ,y2 ,z2)
P1(x1 ,y1 ,z1)
y2-y1
x2-x1 O x
The components are the projections of the vector along the x-, y- and z-axes

33. Example
Find the components of the vector having initial point P1 and terminal point P2
P1(-1,0,2), P2(0,-1,0)
Solution:
v= (0-(-1),-1-0,0-2)=(1,-1,-2)
Head (P2) minus tail (P1)

34. Vector arithmetic
If u,v,w are vectors in 2- or 3-space and k and l are scalar, then the following relationship holds:
u+v=v+u
u+0=0+u=u
k(lu)=(kl)u
(k+l)u=ku+lu
(u+v)+w=u+(v+w)
u+(-u)=0
k(u+v)= ku+ kv
1u=u

35. Class assignment: (on a separate piece of paper with your name and RIN on top) please submit to TA at the end of the lecture
1. Find the component of the vector having initial point P1 and terminal point P2
(a) P1 = (-5,0), P2 = (-3,1)
2. Let u = (-3,1,2), v = (4,0,-8) and w = (6,-1,-4). Find the x, y and z components of:
(a) 6u + 2v
(b) -3(v – 8w)
