1.1. WHAT IS MECHANICS?
Mechanics can be defined as that science which describes and
predicts the conditions of rest or motion of bodies under the action of
forces. It is divided into three parts: mechanics of rigid bodies, mechanics
of deformable bodies, and mechanics of fluids. The mechanics of rigid
bodies is subdivided into statics and dynamics, the former dealing with
bodies at rest, the latter with bodies in motion. In this part of the study of
mechanics, bodies are assumed to be perfectly rigid. Actual structures and
machines, however, are never absolutely rigid and deform under the loads
to which they are subjected. But these deformations are usually small and
do not appreciably affect the conditions of equilibrium or motion of the
structure under consideration. They are important, though, as far as the
resistance of the structure to failure is concerned and are studied in
mechanics of materials, which is a part of the mechanics of deformable
bodies. The third division of mechanics, the mechanics of fluids, is
subdivided into the study of incompressible fluids and of compressible
fluids. An important subdivision of the study of incompressible fluids is
hydraulics, which deals with problems involving water.
Mechanics is a physical science, since it deals with the study of
physical phenomena. However, some associate mechanics with
mathematics, while many consider it as an engineering subject. Both
these views are justified in part. Mechanics is the foundation of most
engineering sciences and is an indispensable prerequisite to their study.
2
However, it does not have the empiricism found in some engineering
sciences, i.e., it does not rely on experience or observation alone; by its
rigor and the emphasis it places on deductive reasoning it resembles
mathematics. But, again, it is not an abstract or even a pure science;
mechanics is an applied science. The purpose of mechanics is to explain
and predict physical phenomena and thus to lay the foundations for
engineering applications.
1.2. FUNDAMENTAL CONCEPTS AND PRINCIPLES
The basic concepts used in mechanics are space, time, mass, and
force. These concepts cannot be truly defined; they should be accepted on
the basis of our intuition and experience and used as a mental frame of
reference for our study of mechanics. The concept of space is associated
with the notion of the position of a point P. The position of P can be
defined by three lengths measured from a certain reference point, or
origin, in three given directions. These lengths are known as the
coordinates of P.
To define an event, it is not sufficient to indicate its position in space.
The time of the event should also be given.
The concept of mass is used to characterize and compare bodies on
the basis of certain fundamental mechanical experiments. Two bodies of
the same mass, for example, will be attracted by the earth in the same
manner; they will also offer the same resistance to a change in
translational motion.
A force represents the action of one body on another. It can be
exerted by actual contact or at a distance, as in the case of gravitational
forces and magnetic forces. A force is characterized by its point of
3
application, its magnitude, and its direction; a force is represented by a
vector .
In Newtonian mechanics, space, time, and mass are absolute
concepts, independent of each other. (This is not true in relativistic
mechanics, where the time of an event depends upon its position, and
where the mass of a body varies with its velocity.) On the other hand, the
concept of force is not independent of the other three. Indeed, one of the
fundamental principles of Newtonian mechanics listed below indicates
that the resultant force acting on a body is related to the mass of the body
and to the manner in which its velocity varies with time.
You will study the conditions of rest or motion of particles and
rigid bodies in terms of the four basic concepts we have introduced. By
particle we mean a very small amount of matter which may be assumed
to occupy a single point in space. A rigid body is a combination of a
large number of particles occupying fixed positions with respect to each
other. The study of the mechanics of particles is obviously a prerequisite
to that of rigid bodies. Besides, the results obtained for a particle can be
used directly in a large number of problems dealing with the conditions
of rest or motion of actual bodies. The study of elementary mechanics
rests on six fundamental principles based on experimental evidence.
The Parallelogram Law for the Addition of Forces
This states that two forces acting on a particle may be replaced by a
single force, called their resultant, obtained by drawing the diagonal of
the parallelogram which has sides equal to the given forces.
4
The Principle of Transmissibility
This states that the conditions of equilibrium or of motion of a rigid
body will remain unchanged if a force acting at a given point of the rigid
body is replaced by a force of the same magnitude and same direction,
but acting at a different point, provided that the two forces have the same
line of action.
Newton’s Three Fundamental Laws.
Formulated by Sir Isaac Newton in the latter part of the seventeenth
century, these laws can be stated as follows:
FIRST LAW
If the resultant force acting on a particle is zero, the particle will remain
at rest (if originally at rest) or will move with constant speed in a straight
line (if originally in motion) .
SECOND LAW
If the resultant force acting on a particle is not zero, the particle will have
an acceleration proportional to the magnitude of the resultant and in the
direction of this resultant force., this law can be stated as:
F=m a ……. (1.1)
Where F, m, and a represent, respectively, the resultant force acting on
the particle, the mass of the particle, and the acceleration of the particle,
expressed in a consistent system of units.
5
THIRD LAW
The forces of action and reaction between bodies in contact have the
same magnitude, same line of action, and opposite sense .
Newton’s Law of Gravitation
This states that two particles of mass M and m are mutually attracted
with equal and opposite forces F and −F (Fig. 1.1) of magnitude F given
by the formula
F=G (Mm/r2)…….. (1.2)
Where
r = distance between the two particles
G = universal constant called the constant of gravitation
Newton’s law of gravitation introduces the idea of an action exerted at a
distance and extends the range of application of Newton’s third law: the
action F and the reaction −F in Fig. 1.1 are equal and opposite, and they
have the same line of action.
Fig: (1.1)
A particular case of great importance is that of the attraction of the
earth on a particle located on its surface. The force F exerted by the earth
6
on the particle is then defined as the weight W of the particle. Taking M
equal to the mass of the earth, m equal to the mass of the particle, and r
equal to the radius R of the earth, and introducing the constant
g = GM ……… (1.3)
The magnitude W of the weight of a particle of mass m may be
expressed as
W =mg ………. (1.4)
The value of R in formula (1.3) depends upon the elevation of the
point considered; it also depends upon its latitude, since the earth is not
truly spherical. The value of g therefore varies with the position of the
point considered. As long as the point actually remains on the surface of
the earth, it is sufficiently accurate in most engineering computations to
assume that g equals 9.81 m/s2 or 32.2 ft/s2.
1.3. SYSTEMS OF UNITS
With the four fundamental concepts introduced in the preceding
section are associated the so-called kinetic units, i.e., the units of length,
time, mass, and force. These units cannot be chosen independently if Eq.
(1.1) is to be satisfied. Three of the units may be defined arbitrarily; they
are then referred to as basic units. The fourth unit, however, must be
chosen in accordance with Eq. (1.1) and is referred to as a derived unit.
Kinetic units selected in this way are said to form a consistent system of
units.
7
International System of Units (SI Units)
In this system, which will be in universal use after the United
States has completed its conversion to SI units, the base units are the units
of length, mass, and time, and they are called, respectively, the meter (m),
the kilogram (kg), and the second (s). All three are arbitrarily defined.
The second, which was originally chosen to represent 1/86 400 of the
mean solar day, is now defined as the duration of 9 192 631 770 cycles of
the radiation corresponding to the transition between two levels of the
fundamental state of the cesium-133 atom. The meter, originally defined
as one ten-millionth of the distance from the equator to either pole, is now
defined as 1 650 763.73 wavelengths of the orange-red light
corresponding to a certain transition in an atom of krypton-86. The
kilogram, which is approximately equal to the mass of 0.001 m3 of water,
is defined as the mass of a platinum-indium standard kept at the
international Bureau of Weights and Measures at Sevres, near Paris,
France. The unit of force is a derived unit. It is called the Newton (N) and
is defined as the force which gives an acceleration of 1 m/s2 to a mass of
1 kg (Fig. 1.2). From Eq. (1.1) we write
1 N = (l kg) (l m/s2) = l kg.m/s2 …….. (1.5)
8
The SI units are said to form an absolute system of units. This
means that the three base units chosen are independent of the location
where measurements are made. The meter, the kilogram, and the second
may be used anywhere on the earth; they may even be used on another
planet. They will always have the same significance.
The weight of a body, or the force of gravity exerted on that body,
should, like any other force, be expressed in newtons. From Eq. (1.4) it
follows that the weight of a body of mass 1 kg (Fig. 1.3) is
W =mg
= (1 kg) (9.81 m/s2)
=9.81N
Multiples and submultiples of the fundamental SI units may be
obtained through the use of the prefixes defined in Table 1.1. The
multiples and submultiples of the units of length, mass, and force most
frequently used in engineering are, respectively, the kilometer (km) and
9
the millimeter (mm); the megagram (Mg) and the gram (g); and the
kilonewton (kN). According to Table 1.1, we have
1 km =1000 m 1 mm = 0.001 m
l Mg= 1000kg 1 g = 0.001 kg
1kN = 1000 N
The conversion of these units into meters, kilograms, and newtons,
respectively, can be effected by simply moving the decimal point three
places to the right or to the left. For example, to convert 3.82 km into
meters, one moves the decimal point three places to the right:
3.82 km = 3820 m
Similarly, 47.2 mm is converted into meters by moving the
decimal point three places to the left:
47.2 mm = 0.0472 m

Using scientific notation, one may also write
3.82 km = 3.82 x 103 m
47.2 mm = 47.2 x 10−3
The multiples of the unit of time are the minute (min) and the hour (h).
Since 1 min = 60 s and 1 h 60 min = 3600 s, these multiples cannot be
converted as readily as the others.
11
By using the appropriate multiple or submultiple of a given unit,
one can avoid writing very large or very small numbers. For example, one
usually writes 427.2 km rather than 427 200 m, and 2.16 mm rather than
0.002 16 m.
Units of Area and Volume
The unit of area is the square meter (m2), which represents the area
of a square of side 1 m; the unit of volume is the cubic meter (m3), equal
to the volume of a cube of side 1 m. In order to avoid exceedingly small
or large numerical values in the computation of areas and volumes, one
uses systems of subunits obtained by respectively squaring and cubing
not only the millimeter but also two intermediate submultiples of the
meter, namely, the decimeter (dm) and the centimeter (cm). Since, by
definition,
1 dm = 0.1 m = 10−1m
1 cm = 0.01 m = 10−2 m
1 mm 0.001 m = 10−2 m
The submultiples of the unit of area are
1dm2 = (1dm) 2= (10−1) 2=10−2 m2
1 cm2 = (1 cm) 2 = (10−2m) 2 =10−4 m2
1 mm2 = (1 mm) 2 = (10−3m) 2 = 10−6m 2
and the submultiples of the unit of volume are
1dm3 = (1 dm) 3 = (10−1m) 3 = 10−3m 3
12
1 cm3 = (1 cm) 3 = (10−2m) 3= 10−6m 3
1 mm3 = (1 mm) 3 = (10−3m) 3 = 10−9m 3
It should be noted that when the volume of a liquid is being
measured, the cubic decimeter (dm3) is usually referred to as a liter (L).
Other derived SI units used to measure the moment of a force, the
work of a force, etc., are shown in Table 1.2. While these units will be
introduced in later chapters as they are needed, we should note an
important rule at this time: When a derived unit is obtained by dividing a
base unit by another base unit, a prefix may be used in the numerator of
the derived unit but not in its denominator. For example, the constant k of
a spring which stretches 20 mm under a load of 100 N will be expressed
as
k = 100 N/20 mm = l00N /0.020 m =5000 N/m
Or k = 5 kN /m
but never as k = 5 N/mm.

U.S. Customary Units
Most practicing American engineers still commonly use a system in
which the base units are the units of length, force, and time. These units
are, respectively, the foot (ft), the pound (lb), and the second (s). The
second is the same as the corresponding SI unit. The foot is defined as
0.3048 m. The pound is defined as the weight of a platinum standard,
called the standard pound, which is kept at the National Institute of
Standards and Technology outside Washington, the mass of which is
0.453 592 43 kg. Since the weight of a body depends upon the earth’s
gravitational attraction, which varies with location, it is specified that the
standard pound should be placed at sea level and at latitude of 45° to
properly define a force of 1 lb. Clearly the U.S. customary units do not
form an absolute system of units. Because of their dependence upon the
gravitational attraction of the earth, they form a gravitational system of
units.
While the standard pound also serves as the unit of mass in
commercial transactions in the United Sates, it cannot be so used in
engineering computations, since such a unit would not be consistent with
the base units defined in the preceding paragraph. Indeed, when acted
upon by a force of 1 lb, that is, when subjected to the force of gravity, the
standard pound receives the acceleration of gravity, g = 32.2 ft/s2 (Fig.
1.4), not the unit acceleration required by Eq. (1.1). The unit of mass
consistent with the foot, the pound, and the second is the mass which
receives an acceleration of 1 ft/s2 when a force of 1 lb is applied to it (Fig.
1.5). This unit, sometimes called a slug, can be derived from the equation
F = ma after substituting 1 lb and 1 ft/s2 for F and a, respectively. We
write
15
F=ma 1 lb= (1slug) (1ft/s2)
and obtain l slug = l lb / l (ft/s2) = 1 lb.s2/ft …….. (1.6)
Comparing Figs. 1.4 and 1.5, we conclude that the slug is a mass
32.2 times larger than the mass of the standard pound.
The fact that in the U.S. customary system of units bodies are
characterized by their weight in pounds rather than by their mass in slugs
will be a convenience in the study of statics, where one constantly deals
with weights and other forces and only seldom with masses. However, in
the study of dynamics, where forces, masses, and accelerations are
involved, the mass m of a body will be expressed in slugs when its weight
W is given in pounds. Recalling Eq. (1.4), we write
m= w/ g ………….. (1.7)
Where g is the acceleration of gravity (g = 32.2 ft/s2).
16
Other U.S. customary units frequently encountered in engineering
problems are the mile (mi), equal to 5280 ft; the inch (in.), equal to (1/12)
ft; and the kilo pound (kip), equal to a force of 1000 lb. The ton is often
used to represent a mass of 2000 lb but, like the pound, must be converted
into slugs in engineering computations.
The conversion into feet, pounds, and seconds of quantities
expressed in other U.S. customary units is generally more involved and
requires greater attention than the corresponding operation in SI units. If,
for example, the magnitude of a velocity is given as v = 30 mi/h, we
convert it to ft/s as follows. First we write
v = 30 mi/h
Since we want to get rid of the unit miles and introduce instead the
unit feet, we should multiply the right-hand member of the equation by an
expression containing miles in the denominator and feet in the numerator.
But, since we do not want to change the value of the right-hand member,
the expression used should have a value equal to unity. The quotient
(5280 ft)/ (1 mi) is such an expression. Operating in a similar way to
transform the unit hour into seconds, we write
v = (30 mi/h) (5280ft/1mi) (1 h/3600s)
Carrying out the numerical computations and canceling out units
which appear in both the numerator and the denominator, we obtain
v = 44 ft /s
17
1.4. CONVERSION FROM ONE SYSTEM OF UNITS TO ANOTHER
There are many instances when an engineer wishes to convert into
SI units a numerical result obtained in U.S. customary units or vice versa.
Because the unit of time is the same in both systems, only two kinetic
base units need be converted. Thus, since all other kinetic units can be
derived from these base units, only two conversion factors need be
remembered.
Units of Length
By definition the U.S. customary unit of length is
1 ft =0.3048 m ……. (1.8)
It follows that
1 mi = 5280 ft = 5280(0.3048m) = 1609 m
or 1 mi = 1.609 km ………… (1.9)
also 1 in. = 1/12 ft = 1/12 (0.3048 m) = 0.0254 m
Or 1 in. = 25.4 mm …………. (1.10)
Units of Force
Recalling that the U.S. customary unit of force (pound) is defined
as the weight of the standard pound (of mass 0.4536 kg) at sea level and
at a latitude of 45° (where g = 9.807 m /s2) and using Eq. (1.4), we write
W = mg
1 lb = (0.4536 kg)(9.807 m/s2) = 4.448 kg• m/s2
18
or, recalling Eq. (1.5),
l Ib = 4.448N …………… (1.11)
Units of Mass
The U.S. customary unit of mass (slug) is a derived unit. Thus,
using Eqs. (1.6), (1.8), and (1.11), we write
l slug =1lb.s2/ft =1 Ib/ 1 ft/s2 = 4.448N/ 0.3048 m/s2
and, recalling Eq. (1.5),
1 slug = 1 Ib. s2/ft = 14.59 kg ………….. (1.12)
Although it cannot be used as a consistent unit of mass, we recall
that the mass of the standard pound is, by definition,
1 pound mass = 0.4536 kg ……………… (1.13)
This constant may be used to determine the mass in SI units
(kilograms) of a body which has been characterized by its weight in U.S.
customary units (pounds).
To convert a derived U.S. customary unit into SI units, one simply
multiplies or divides by the appropriate conversion factors. For example,
to convert the moment of a force which was found to be M = 47 lb. in.
into SI units, we use formulas (1.10) and (1.11) and write
M = 47 lb. in. = 47(4.448 N)(25.4 mm)
= 5310 N. mm =5.31 N. m
19
The conversion factors given in this section may also be used to
convert a numerical result obtained in SI units into U.S. customary units.
For example, if the moment of a force was found to be M = 40 N. m, we
write, following the procedure used in the last paragraph of Sec. 1.3,
M= 40N.m = (40N.m)( 1 Ib/4.448 N) ( 1 ft /0.3048 m )
Carrying out the numerical computations and canceling out units
which appear in both the numerator and the denominator, we obtain
M = 29.5 lb.ft
The U.S. customary units most frequently used in mechanics are
listed in Table 1.3 with their SI equivalents.

Introduction • The objective for the current chapter is to investigate the
effects of forces on particles: - replacing multiple forces acting on a particle with a single equivalent or resultant force, Relations between forces acting on a particle that is in a state of equilibrium
• The focus on particles does not imply a restriction to miniscule bodies. Rather, the study is restricted to analyses in which the size and shape of the bodies is not significant so that all forces may be assumed to be applied at a single point.
Resultant of Two Forces
• .Force: action of one body on another; characterized by its point of
application, magnitude, line of action, and sense • Experimental evidence shows that the combined effect of two forces
may be represented by a single resultant force. • The resultant is equivalent to the diagonal of a parallelogram which
contains the two forces in adjacent legs.
• Force is a vector quantity
2
Vectors
• Vector: parameter possessing magnitude and direction which add according to the parallelogram law. Examples: displacements, velocities, accelerations.
• Scalar: parameter possessing magnitude but not direction. Examples: mass, volume, temperature
• Vector classifications: - Fixed or bound vectors have well defined points of
application that cannot be changed without affecting an analysis.
- Free vectors may be freely moved in space without changing their effect on an analysis.
- Sliding vectors may be applied anywhere along their line of action without affecting an analysis.
• Equal vectors have the same magnitude and direction.
• Negative vector of a given vector has the same magnitude and the opposite direction

Rigid Bodies: Equivalent Systems of Forces 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.
• Most bodies in elementary mechanics are assumed to be rigid, i.e.,
the actual deformations are small and do not affect the conditions of equilibrium or motion of the body.
• 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
• 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.
External and Internal Forces • Forces acting on rigid bodies are divided into two groups:
- External forces - Internal forces
• External forces are shown in a free-body diagram.
2
• If unopposed, each external force can impart a motion of translation or
rotation, or both. Principle of Transmissibility: Equivalent Forces
• Principle of Transmissibility -
Conditions of equilibrium or motion are not affected by transmitting a force along its line of action. NOTE: F and F’ are 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.
• Principle of transmissibility may not always apply in determining internal
forces and deformations.
3
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. • Vector product of two vectors P and Q is defined as the vector V which
satisfies the following conditions: 1. Line of action of V is perpendicular to plane containing P and Q. 2. Magnitude of V is V = PQ sin θ 3. Direction of V is obtained from the right-
hand rule

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 FrMO ×= • The moment vector MO is perpendicular to the plane containing O and
the force F. • Magnitude of MO measures the tendency of the force to cause rotation of
the body about an axis along MO. FdrFM O == θsin • The sense of the moment may be determined by the right-hand rule.
5
• 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.
• Two-dimensional structures have length and breadth but negligible depth and are subjected to forces contained in the plane of the structure.
• The plane of the structure contains the point O and the force F. MO, the moment of the force about O is perpendicular to the plane
• If the force tends to rotate the structure clockwise, the sense of the moment vector is out of the plane of the structure and the magnitude of the moment is positive.
• If the force tends to rotate the structure
counterclockwise, the sense of the moment vector is into the plane of the structure and the magnitude of the moment is negative
Varignon’s Theorem • The moment about a give point O of the resultant of several concurrent
forces is equal to the sum of the moments of the various moments about the same point O.

Sample Problem A 100-lb vertical force is applied to the end of a lever which is attached to a shaft at O. Determine:
a) moment about O, b) horizontal force at A which creates the same moment, c) smallest force at A which produces the same moment, d) location for a 240-lb vertical force to produce the same moment, e) whether any of the forces from b, c, and d is equivalent to the original
force

a) Moment about O is equal to the product of the force and the perpendicular distance between the line of action of the force and O. Since the force tends to rotate the lever clockwise, the moment vector is into the plane of the paper

Equilibrium of Rigid Bodies Introduction • For a rigid body in static equilibrium, the external forces and moments
are balanced and will impart no translational or rotational motion to the body.
• The necessary and sufficient condition for the static equilibrium of a
body are that the resultant force and couple from all external forces form a system equivalent to zero,
• Resolving each force and moment into its rectangular components
leads to 6 scalar equations which also express the conditions for static equilibrium,
Free-Body Diagram • First step in the static equilibrium analysis of a rigid body is
identification of all forces acting on the body with a free-body
diagram.
• Select the extent of the free-body and detach it from the ground and all
other bodies

Centroids and Centers of Gravity Introduction: • The earth exerts a gravitational force on each of the particles forming
a body. These forces can be replace by a single equivalent force equal
to the weight of the body and applied at the center of gravity for the
body
• The centroid of an area is analogous to the center of gravity of a body.
The concept of the first moment of an area is used to locate the
centroid.
• Determination of the area of a surface of revolution and the volume of
a body of revolution are accomplished with the Theorems of Pappus-

Friction Introduction • In preceding chapters, it was assumed that surfaces in contact were
either frictionless (surfaces could move freely with respect to each other) or rough (tangential forces prevent relative motion between surfaces).
• Actually, no perfectly frictionless surface exists. For two surfaces in
contact, tangential forces, called friction forces, will develop if one attempts to move one relative to the other.
• However, the friction forces are limited in magnitude and will not
prevent motion if sufficiently large forces are applied. • The distinction between frictionless and rough is, therefore, a matter
of degree. • There are two types of friction: dry or Coulomb friction and fluid
friction. Fluid friction applies to lubricated mechanisms. The present discussion is limited to dry friction between nonlubricated surfaces.
The Laws of Dry Friction. Coefficients of Friction • Block of weight W placed on horizontal surface. Forces acting on
block are its weight and reaction of surface N. • Small horizontal force P applied to block. For block to remain
stationary, in equilibrium, a horizontal component F of the surface reaction is required. F is a static-friction force.
2
• As P increases, the static-friction force F increases as well until it reaches a maximum value Fm.
NF sm µ=
• Further increase in P causes the block to begin to move as F drops to a
smaller kinetic-friction force Fk.
NF kk µ= • Maximum static-friction force: • Kinetic-friction force:

• Four situations can occur when a rigid body is in contact with a horizontal surface:
No friction, No motion (Px = 0) ,(Px < Fm)
• Motion impending, Motion, (Px > Fm) (Px = Fm)
4
Angles of Friction • It is sometimes convenient to replace normal force N and friction force
F by their resultant R:
No friction

Sample Problem A 450 N force acts as shown on a 1350 N block placed on an inclined plane. The coefficients of friction between the block and plane are ms = 0.25 and mk = 0.20. Determine whether the block is in equilibrium and find the value of the friction force.
SOLUTION:
• Determine values of friction force and normal reaction force from plane required to maintain equilibrium.
• Calculate maximum friction force and compare with friction force required for equilibrium. If it is greater, block will not slide.
• If maximum friction force is less than friction force required for equilibrium, block will slide. Calculate kinetic-friction force.
The block will slide down the plane
