ME101: Engineering Mechanics – Why?

ME101 - Division IV 15
ME101: Classification
• Mechanics :: concerned with state of rest or
motion of bodies subjected to the action of
forces

– Rigid Body mechanics

• To be covered in ME101 course

– Deformable Body mechanics

– Fluid mechanics
16
Rigid body mechanics :: Basics
• Rigid Body: No deformation under any load
– Change in distance between any two points
negligible as compared to body dimensions

x
z

17
Rigid body mechanics : Idealization
• Rigid Body
– A combination of large number of particles in
which all particles remain at a fixed distance
(practically) from one another before and after
applying a load

– Material properties not required when

analyzing the forces acting on the body

– design and analysis of many types of structural

members, mechanical components, electrical
devices, etc., encountered in engineering.

18
Rigid body mechanics :: Statics
• Statics
– equilibrium of rigid body under action of
forces

19
Rigid body mechanics :: Dynamics
• Dynamics
– motion of bodies (acceleration/deceleration)

Mechanics: Fundamental Concepts
• Length (Space)
– Position of a point in space
• Coordinate system
– Cartesian (x, y, z)
– Spherical (r, θ, φ)
– Cylindrical (ρ, φ, z)

– Describe size of the physical system

• Dimensions
– Distance, geometric properties
– Basic quantity/dimension
28
Mechanics: Spherical coordinate system
• Application
– Separation of variables in partial differential
equations, e.g., Laplace eqn

29
Mechanics: Cylindrical coordinate system
• Application
– Physical phenomena with spherical symmetry, e.g.,
water flow in a circular pipe

30
Mechanics: Fundamental Concepts
• Time
– Measure of succession of events
– Basic quantity/dimension

• Mass
– Quantity of matter in a body
– Measure of inertia
– Basic quantity/dimension

31
Mechanics: Fundamental Concepts
• Force
– Tends to move a body along its direction
• Change in velocity
– Characterization
• Magnitude
• Direction Vector
• Point of application
– Derived quantity (MLT-2)
– Occurrence as interaction between bodies
• Gravitational, electromagnetic actions

32
Mechanics: Fundamental Concepts
• More about mass and weight
– No change in mass with change in location of
body
– Weight refers to gravitational attraction on a
body
• May change with location

33
Mechanics: Idealization as particle
• Particle
– A body with mass but with negligible
dimensions

: Size of earth insignificant

compared to the size of its
orbit
: Earth can be modeled as a
particle when studying its
orbital motion
: Simplified analysis -
geometry of the body is not
involved in the analysis.
34
Mechanics: Force idealization
• Concentrated Force
– Line of action of weight through the centre of
gravity of the body
– Area over which the load is applied is very
small compared to the overall size of the body

Ex: Contact Force

between a wheel and
ground.

40 kN 160 kN

35
Mechanics: Newton’s Three Laws of Motion
• Basis of rigid body statics
– First Law: A particle originally at rest, or moving in a
straight line with constant velocity, tends to remain in this
state provided the particle is not subjected to an
unbalanced force
– Principle of force equilibrium
• Statics

36
Mechanics: Newton’s Three Laws of Motion
• Basis of rigid body dynamics
– Second Law: A particle of mass “m” acted upon by an
unbalanced force “F” experiences an acceleration “a”
that has the same direction as the force and a magnitude
that is directly proportional to the force

37
Mechanics: Newton’s Three Laws of Motion
• Application in both statics and dynamics
– Third Law: The mutual forces of action and reaction
between two particles are equal, opposite and collinear

38
Mechanics: Units

F = ma ! N = kg.m/s2
1 Newton is the force required to give a mass of 1 kg an accln of 1 m/s2.

W = mg ! N = kg.m/s2

39
Mechanics: Accuracy
• Significant Digits
– Number of significant digits in an answer should
depend on the accuracy of measurement
involved
• Length of the side of a square: 24 mm
• Area of square : 580 mm2
– Not 576 mm2

– Accuracy in industries
• Millimeters (10-3) in Civil Engineering construction
• Nanometer (10-9) in Integrated Circuits
