Mechanics:
• It is the physical science which deals with
state of rest and motion of bodies under the
action of force.
• Engineering Mechanics:
Statics.
Dynamics.
• Newton’s laws of Motion:
1. Newton’s 1st law: a particle remains at rest or continues to
move with uniform velocity (there is no unbalance force acting on
the subject. (∑F=0 )
• U.S system: (also called customary, British system, and Fps (foot ,
pound , second)
• Conversion of Units:

Force Ib 4.448N
Mass slug 14.59Kg
Length ft 0.3048m
mile 1609.344m
mile=5280ft
Ft=12inch
• Prefixes
Example:
1km= 1000m, 1mm= 0.001m
3.28km= 3280m, 47.2mm= 0.0472m
1g= 0.001kg
1N=0.001kN, 1kN= 1000N
• Force:
Action of one body on another body which change or tends
to change motion of the body act on.
Force is a vector quantity.
• Concurrent: the action lines of all forces of the system are intersecting
at a common point.
