INTRODUCTION
Definition of FORCE
Force is the action of pushing or pulling on an objects
The effect of force on an object
A stationary object to move
A moving object to change its speed
A moving object to change its direction of motion
An object to change in size and shape
INTRODUCTION
Application of force
Using in mechanical system
Transferred using mechanical instrument, eg: gear, pulley, screw
and piston.
NEWTONS LAW
F = Force
m = mass
g = gravity (9.81ms-2)
The following are some of the situation where forces are balanced on
a body :
Unbalanced force is :
When two or more forces acting on a body are not balanced, there
must be a net force on it. This net force is known as the
unbalanced force or the resultant force.

MOMENT OF FORCES
the sum of the forces must be zero, but also the sum of the torques (moments) about any point. For a twodimensional situation with horizontal and vertical forces, the sum of the forces requirement is two equations:
F1
F2
F1 d1 = F2 d2 Nm
d1 m
d2 m
