STATICS:

Statics deals with the equilibrium of

bodies, that is. those that are either
at rest or moving with a constant
velocity

DYNAMICS:

Dynamics are concerned with the

accelerated motion of bodies
kinematically and kinetically.

It is the geometric region occupied by bodies whose positions
are described by linear and angular measurements relative to a
coordinate system.

TIME:
Time is the measure of succession of events and
is a basic quantity in dynamics. Time is not directly
involved in the analysis of statics problems.
MASS:
Mass is a measure of the inertia of a body,
which is its resistance to a change of velocity. Mass
can also be thought of as the quantity of matter in
body. The mass of a body affects the gravitation
attraction force between it and other bodies.
10

TDO

FORCE:
Force is the action of one body on another. A
force tends to move a body in the direction of its
action. The action of a force is characterized by its
magnitude, by the direction of its action, and by
its point of application. Thus force is a vector
quantity.

PARTICLE :
A particle is a body of negligible dimensions. In the
mathematical sense, a particle is a body whose
dimensions are considered to be near zero so that we
may analyze it as a mass concentrated at a point.
RIGID BODY: A rigid body is one which exhibits no
relative deformation between its parts. This is an ideal
hypothesis since all real bodies will change shape to a
certain extent when subjected to forces. When such
changes are small, the body may be termed rigid
without appreciable error.

TDO

Free Vector:
The displacement of a body without rotation is
represented by a vector which can be moved
parallel to itself at any point and it wont change
its implication. Such vectors are called as free
vectors

Sliding Vector:
Force acting on a rigid body has the same effect
even if its point of application is moved along its
line of action. Vectors representing such
quantities whose effect remains unaltered when
they are moved along their line of action are
called as sliding vectors. Velocity of fluid in a
uniform flow is an example of sliding vector.

TDO

Fixed Vector:
Force acting on a deformable body produces
different effects when applied at different points.
Such vectors whose effects depend on the point of
application are called as fixed or bound vectors.
Their magnitude, direction and point of application
are fixed.

Newtons First Law (Statics):

A particle remains at rest or continues to move
with uniform velocity (in a straight line with
constant speed) if there is no unbalanced force
acting on it.
F = 0,a = 0,v = constant

16

TDO

Newtons Second Law (Dynamics)

A particle acted upon by an unbalanced force F
experiences an acceleration "a" that has the same
direction as the force and magnitude that is directly
proportional to the force.
F = mass x acceleration
F = ma
17

TDO

Newtons Third Law (Action-Reaction)

The forces of action and reaction between
interacting bodies are equal in magnitude, opposite
in direction, and collinear (they lie on the same line)
FA = - FB

The law of gravitation is expressed by the equation

Where F = the mutual force of attraction between two particles

G =a universalconstant known as the constant of gravitation
= 6.673 x 10 -11 m3/kg-s2
m1, m2 = the mass of the two particles
r = the distance between the centers of the particles

To compute W the weight of a body having a

mass of m,
Mass of earth, m1 = 5.976 x 1024 kg
Average radius of earth, r = 6371 km
W = 9.81 m
W = gm (N)
where g = 9.81 m/s2 = acceleration of gravity

In parallelogram ABCD
AB = DC , AD = BC and
+ = 180

If AB and AD are vectors,

A
The resultant of vector AB and vector AD is equal to the
vector AC which is the diagonal of the parallelogram.
Thus, it can be mathematically expressed by the equation of
AB + AD = AC
