Introduction
Mechanics: mechanics Can be defined as that science which describes and predicts the condition of rest or motion of bodies under the action of force. Mechanics can be classified in to the following sub parts
Mechanics
Mechanics of fluids
Statics
Dynamics
Incompressible fluids
compressible fluids
The following concepts and definetions are basic for the study of mechanics and they should be be understood at the outset. 1. Space : is the geometric region occupied by bodies whose positions are described by linear and angular measurements relative to the coordinate system.For three dimensional problems,three independant coordinate are needed. For two dimensional problems, only two coordinates are required. 2. Time:the measure of the succesion of events and is a basic quantity in dynamics.Time is not directly involved in the analysis of static problems. 3. Mass: is the measure of inertia of a body, which is its resistance to a change of velocity. It is also the quantity of matter in a body. 4. Force: the action of one body on the other. A force tends to move a body in the direction of its action. The action of a force can be characterized by its magnitude,direction and its point of application. 5. A particle: is a body of negligible dimension.the dimensions can be considered to be zero so that it may be analysed as a mass concentrated at a point. 6. Rigid body: a body is considered rigid when the change in distance between any two of its ponts is negligible for the purpose at hand.

The study of elementary mechanics rests on six fundamental principles based on experimental evidence. A) The parallelogram law for the addition of forces This states that two forces acting on a particle may be replaced by single force,called their resulatant,obtained by drawing the diagonal of the parallelogram which has sides equal to the given forces.

Lecture Notes on Engineering Mechanics I 2010 B) The principle of transmisibility It states that the condition of equilibrium or motion of a rigid body will remain unchanged if a force acting at a given point of a rigid body is replaced by a force of the same magnitude and same direction acting at adifferernt point on the same line of action.

C) Newtons fundamental laws These basic laws are formulated by sir Isaac Newton in the latter years of seventeen century. i) First law If the resultant force acting on a particle is zero, the particle will remain at rest (if origionally at rest) or will move with constant speed in straight line (if origionally at rest). ii) Second law If the resultant force acting on a particle is not zero,the particle will have an acceleration proportional to the magnitude of the resultant in the direction of the resultant force.
iii)
Third law The force of action and reaction between bodies in contact have the same magnitude ,the same line of action and opposite sense. Newtons Gravitational law

2.2 Moment In addition to the tendency to move a body in the direction of its application, a force may also tend to rotate a body about an axis. The axis may be any line neither intersects nor is parallel to the line of action of the force. This rotational tendency is known as moment, M, of the force. It is also referred to as Torque.
M is a vector quantity and depends on both the magnitude of the force and the perpendicular distance from the axis of the line of action of the force (moment arm d). The sense (vector direction) of M depends on the direction in which F tends to rotate the body. The right hand rule, see fig below, is used to identify this sense, and the moment of F about O-O may be represented as a vector pointing in the direction of the thumb, with the fingers curled in the direction of the tendency to rotate. It is a sliding vector.

Varignons Theorem
It states that the moment of a force about any point is equal to the sum of the moments of the components of the force about the same point.
WU
Lecture Notes on Engineering Mechanics I 2010 Example 1. Calculate the magnitude of the moment about the base point O of the 600N force in five different ways.
2. The 60N force P is applied at point C of the bent bar. If ! 45 0 , determine the moment of P
about point B and about point A. For what value of the angle U will the moment about point A be a maximum? Determine this maximum value M A
max .
2.3. Couples
The moment produced by two equal and opposite and non collinear force is known as couple. Look at the figure below. The combined moment of the two forces about an axis normal to their plane and passing through any point such as O in their plane is the couple M.
M=F(a+d)-Fa=Fd
WU
Lecture Notes on Engineering Mechanics I 2010 It follows that the moment of a couple has the same value for all moment centers. We may also express the moment of a couple by using vector algebra. M=rAxF+rBx(-F)=( rA-rB)xF
Where rA and rB are position vectors from the point O to arbitrary points A and B on the line of action of F and F respectively. But rA-rB =r so that M= rxF Since M is independent of moment center O, and is the same for all moment centers, M is a free vector.
Equivalent couples: Changing the values of F and d does not change a given couple as long as the product Fd remains the same.Like wise, a couple is not affected if the forces act in a different but parallel plane.
Force-Couple System: the effect of force acting on a body has been described interms of the effect of the tendency to push or pull the body in the direction of the force and to rotate the body about any axis which does not intersect the line of action of the force. It is possible to reprersent this dual effect more easily by replacing the given force by an equal parallel force and couple to compensate for the change in the moment of the force.

Lecture Notes on Engineering Mechanics I 2010 2.4.RESULTANTS Most problems in Mechanics deal with system of forces, and it is usually neccessary to reduce the system to its simplest form to describe its action.The resultant of a system of forces is the simplest force combination which can replace the original forces with out altering the external effect on the rigid body to which the forces are applied. As illustrated by system of three forces F1, F2 and F3 in the following figure,We can obtain the magnitude and direction of the resultant force R by forming force polgon where the forces are added head to tail in any sequence.Thus, for any system of coplanar forces we may write
We can use algebra to obtain the resultant forec and its line of action as follows:

Add all forces at pont O to form the resultanf force R and add all couples to form the resultant couple Mo. We now have the resultant couple system as shown in figure 2/14c. 3. In figure 2/14d,find the line of action of R by requiring R to have a moment Mo about pont O. Note that the force system figures 2/14c and 2/14 d are equivalent,and that in figure 2/14a is equal to Rd in figure 2/14d.

The use of a vector approach using crossProduct is more convenient and advantagious.
Considering the figure shown above, the moment MO of F about an axis through O normal to the plane can be written as MO=r x F and the correct sense and direction of the moment is determined by the right hand rule. The correct evaluation of the vector expression depends on the use of right handed co-ordinate system.

Expansion of the determinant gives MO= (ryFz-rzFy) i + (rzFx-rxFz) j + (rxFy-ryFx) k The moment M of F about any axis through O can be determined as follows.

Wrench Resultant: When the resultant couple vector M is parallel to the resultant force R, the resultant is said to be a wrench. If the couple and force vectors point in the same direction, the wrench is positive otherwise it is negative.

3. Equiplibrium of forces
3.1. Introduction In the previous chapter, we have seen systems of forces. In this chapter stability of force systems, named as equilibrium of a body. Thus a body is said to be in equilibrium when the resultant of all the forces acting on it is zero. That is, the resultant force vector R and the resultant couple vector M are both zero.Expressed mathematically: , Note that these are both necessary and sufficient conditions for equilibrium. A) Equilibrium in Two-Dimension
3.1.
Before considering equilibrium conditions, it is very much essential and absolutely necessary to define unambiguously the particular body or mechanical system to be analyzed and represent clearly and completely all forces which act on the body.

Each unknown force should be represented by a vector arrow with the unknown magnitude and direction. The fore exerted on the body to be isolated by the body to be removed is indicated and its sense shall be opposite to the movement of the body which would occur if the contacting or supporting member were removed. The choice of coordinate axes should be indicated directly on the diagram and relevant dimensions should be represented.
3.2.
Equilibrium Conditions
It was stated that a body is in equilibrium if the resultant force vector and the resultant couple vector are both zero. These requirements can be stated in the form of vector equation of equilibrium, which in two dimensions can be written as:
Categories of Equilibrium in Two Dimensions The following categories of equilibrium conditions can be identified due to the nature of forces considered. Category 1: Equilibrium of collinear forces, clearly requires only the one force equation in the direction of the forces (x - direction),since all other equations are automatically satisfied. Category 2: Equilibrium of forces which lie in a plane (x-y plane) are conccurrent at a pont O,requires the two force equations only,since the sum of moments about O,that is about the Z axis through O is necessarly zero. Category 3, Equilibrium of parallel forces in a plane,requires the one fprce equation in the direction of the force (x-direction) and one moment equation about an axix (Z-axis) normal to the plane of the forces. Category 4, Equilibrium of general system of forces in a plane (x-y plane), requires the two force equations and in the plane and one moment equation about ann axis (z-axis), normal to the plane
24
Alternative equilibrium equations In two-dimensional body, the maximum number of unknown variables is three. And the three equilibrium equations are sufficient to solve the unknown variables. Thus, whatever the combination, three total equations are maximally needed. What we have seen is two forces and one moment equations. In addition to equilibrium equations shown above,there are two alternative ways to express the general condition of equilibrium of forces in two dimensions. a) One force and two moment equation If , then the resultant cannot be a couple but it must be aforce passing through A. If the equation, holds true,where the x- direction is arbitrary,the resultant R not only pass through A , but also must be perpendicular to the x- direction. Again if where point B is any point such that line Ab is not perpendicular to to the xdirection. For the system to be in equilibrium,R must be zero.Hence the alternative set of equilibrium equation is
WU Kombolcah Institute of Technology Departement of civil engineering 25
Where the two points A and B must not lie on a line perpendicular to the x- direction.
For a coplanar force system, if the resultant must be a force passing through A and if , the resultant must pass through B, such a force cannot exist however, if , where C is not collinear with A and B we may write the equation of equilibrium as
b) Three-moment equations
or
,
Lecture Notes on Engineering Mechanics I 2010 For the first equation, F = 0, the vector sum will be zero only if the coefficients of i, j and k in the expression are, respectively, zero. These three sums when each is set equal to zero yield precisely the three scalar equations of equilibrium, , and For the second equation, , where the moment sum may be taken about any convenient point o, we express the moment of each force as the cross product r X F, where r is the position vector from o to any point on the line of action of the force F. Thus, . The coefficients of i, j and k in the resulting moment equation when set equal to zero, respectively, produce the three scalar moment equations
Free-Body diagram
The correct representation of forces on the free body diagram requires a knowledge of the charactrestics of contacting surfaces. These characterstics for three dimesional problems are represented in the figure below for most common situations of force transmisions.
Categories of Equilibrium The categories of rquilibrium equations differ in the number and type (force and Moment) of independant equilibrium equations required to solve the problem.
Category 1: Equilibrium of forces all concurrent at point O. Requires all three force equations, but no moment equation because the moment of forces about any axis through O is zero. Category 2: equilibrium of forces which are conccurent with aline, requires all equations except the moment equation about that line,which is automatically satisfied. Category 3: Equilibrium of parallel forces, requires only one force equation,the one in the direction of the forces (x-direction) and two moment equations about the axes (Y and Z) which are normal to the direction of the forces. Category 4: equilibrium a general system of forces, require all the three force equations and all the three moment equations.

Frames - they are also designed to support loads and are also usually stationary frames always contain at least one multi-force member i.e. a member acted upon by three or more forces, in general are not directed along the member. Machines- designed to transmit and modify forces structures containing moving parts like frames always contain at least one multi-force member. -
PLANE TRUSSES
Frame work composed of members joined at their ends. Common examples are bridges, roof supports, derricks, and other such structures. Structural members used are I- beams, channels, angles, bars and special shapes. Members are fastened together at their ends by welding, riveted connections, large bolts or pins. The members of the truss lie essentially in a single plane. The basic element is a triangle (three bars constitute a rigid frame) The truss in statically indeterminate if more members are present than are needed to prevent collapse
30
Lecture Notes on Engineering Mechanics I 2010 The design of a truss involves the determination of the forces in the various members and the selection of appropriate sizes and structural shapes to withstand the forces
1) Members are two force members (equilibrium is under the action of two forces only). Each member is acted upon by two forces, one at each end; these forces have the same magnitude, the same line of action and opposite sense
31
2) The weight of the member is small compared with the force it supports. If small effect of the uniform weight W of the member is to be accounted replace it by W/2 acting at each end of the member 3) If center lines of the members at a joint are concurrent it is satisfactory to assume welded or riveted connection as pin connection 4) All external forces are applied at the pin connections the external reactions are first determined from the equilibrium equations applied to the truss as a whole.
METHOD OF JOINTS
The method deals with the equilibrium of concurrent forces acting on the connecting pin. This helps to compute forces in various members and to determine whether each of its members is in tension or in compression. Begin the analysis with any joint having at least one known load and not more than two unknown forces One may designate joints by letters and the force in each member by two letters at the ends of the member.
32
Lecture Notes on Engineering Mechanics I 2010 The simultaneous solution of the equations for two unknown forces at a joint may be avoided by careful choice of reference axes. The reactions at the supports must first be determined by considering the entire truss as a free body and using equations of equilibrium.
33
METHOD OF SECTIONS Entire section of the truss is selected for the free body in equilibrium under the action of a non concurrent system of forces The external reactions are first computed form the over all FBD In choosing a section of the truss we note that, in general, not more than three members whose forces are unknown may be cut. The moment equations are used to great advantage. Some times both methods of section and joints can be combined for an efficient solution than exclusive use of either method.
34
Lecture Notes on Engineering Mechanics I 2010 o Frames fixed in position. o Machines contain moving parts. o Equilibrium is for inter connected rigid bodies which contain multi force members. o Here also, if the structure contains more members or supports than are necessary to prevent collapse, the problem is statically indeterminate. o Analysis begins by establishing all the forces external to the structure considered as a single rigid body. Then dismember the structure and consider the equilibrium of each part separately. o It is absolutely necessary that a force be consistently represented on the diagrams.
35
Forces can be distributed along a) A line (m) b) Over an area (m2) c) Over the volume of a body
CENTERS OF MASS AND CENTROIDS Center of Mass The center of mass of a body is also known as center of gravity. Mathematically the center of gravity of any body can be located by applying the principle of moments.

They are useful not only in determining areas and volumes of revolution but they are also employed to find the centroids of plane curves and plane areas when the corresponding areas and volumes due to revolution of these figures about a nonintersecting axis are known. When the angle of revolution is some angle U less than 2 T , the following more general relations will be used.
