UNIT-1: Introduction

Fundamental Concepts

Idealizations
Three forces act on the ring. Since these
forces all meet at point, then for any force
analysis, we can assume the ring to be
represented as a particle.

Steel is a common engineering material that does not deform


very much under load. Therefore, we can consider this
railroad wheel to be a rigid body acted upon by the
concentrated force of the rail.

Unit-2: Vectors

This electric transmission tower is stabilized by cables that exert forces on the
ower at their points of connection. In this chapter we will show how to express
hese forces as Cartesian vectors, and then determined their resultant

resultant force acts along
the positive u axis,
determine the magnitude of
the resultant force and the
angle u.
