reaction of bodies to forces
Classical mechanics physical laws
(macro)
Quantum mechanics sub-atomic (micro)
4 Basic Concepts of Mechanics
1. Space
2. Time
3. Mass
4. Force
6 Fundamental Principles of Newtonian
Mechanics
1. Newtons 1st Law of Motion: Sum(F)
=0
2. Newtons 2nd Law of Motion: F=ma
3. Newtons 3rd Law of Motion: every
force has an equal and opposite
force
4. Law of Gravitation: F = G(mM)/r^2
5. Principle of Transmissibility
6. Parallelogram Law of Vector
Addition
Lecture 2
Force Action of a body on another
Moment Tendency of a force to rotate
body about an axis
Couple Pair of forces with equal
magnitude but opposite direction and
causes rotation
