Lecture 1
Topics Covered in Lecture 1:
Introduction: Definition of mechanics, types of mechanics, standard units used.
Rigid and Elastic bodies
Force and its type
● Concept of space, time, mass and force.

● Explain the force.
● Discuss the difference between scalar and vector quantities.
● Explain the laws of motion. There are three types of Newton’s laws of motion
which are First law of motion, Second law of motion and Third law of motion.
● Explain the Principle of transmissibility it states that the condition of
equilibrium or of motion of rigid bodies will remain unchanged if the point of
application of a force acting on the rigid body is transmitted to act at any other
point along its line of action.
Mechanics: Oldest of the Physical Sciences
Mechanics is a branch of the physical sciences that is

concerned with the state of rest or motion of bodies subjected
to the action of forces.
Depending upon the nature of body involved,
mechanics can be classified as:
Rigid-body Mechanics
Statics Deformable-Body Mechanics
Dynamics
Fluid Mechanics
In this Unit - 1 we study the mechanics of Rigid-body
Rigid-body Mechanics is essential for the design and analysis of

many types of structural members, mechanical components,
electrical devices, etc, encountered in engineering.
A rigid body does not deform under load!
Rigid Body : It is the body that deforms negligible under the action of
external forces. It represents the definite amount of matter, the part of
which are fixed in position relative to one another. Thus, the rigid body is
assumed as no deformation body under the action of external forces.
Statics: deals with equilibrium of bodies under action of forces
(bodies may be either at rest or move with a constant
velocity).
Dynamics: deals with motion of bodies (accelerated motion)
Kinetics is the study of the relationship between

the forces and the resulting motion.
While, Kinematics is the study of motion of bodies without

any reference to the forces causing motion or forces
produced as a result of the motion.
Mechanics: Fundamental Concepts
Length (Space): needed to locate position of a point in space, & describe size
of the physical system Distances, Geometric Properties
Time: measure of succession of events basic quantity in dynamics
Mass: quantity of matter in a body measure of inertia of a body (its

resistance to change in velocity)
Force: represents the action of one body on another characterized by

its magnitude, direction of its action, and its point of application
Force is a Vector quantity.

Newtonian mechanics is based on application of Newton's Laws of motion
which assume that the concepts of distance, time, and mass, are absolute, that
is, motion is in an inertial frame.
Length, Time, and Mass are absolute concepts independent of each other
Force is a derived concept

not independent of the other fundamental concepts. Force acting on a
body is related to the mass of the body and the variation of its velocity with
time.
Force can also occur between bodies that are physically separated
(Ex: gravitational, electrical, and magnetic forces)
Remember:
● Mass is a property of matter that does not change from one location to
another.
● Weight refers to the gravitational attraction of the earth on a body or

quantity of mass. Its magnitude depends upon the elevation at which the
mass is located
Weight of a body is the gravitational force acting on it.

Mechanics: Idealizations
To simplify application of the theory
Particle: A body with mass but with dimensions that can be neglected
Size of earth is insignificant compared to

the size of its orbit. Earth can be
modeled as a particle when studying its
orbital motion
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 of a rigid body are not required to be considered

when analyzing the forces acting on the body.
In most cases, actual deformations occurring in structures, machines,

mechanisms, etc. are relatively small, and rigid body assumption is
suitable for analysis
Concentrated Force: Effect of a loading which is assumed to act at a
point (CG) on a body.
Provided the area over which the load is applied is very small
compared to the overall size of the body.
Mechanics: Laws of Motion
Basis of formulation of rigid body mechanics.
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.
First law contains the principle of the equilibrium

of forces main topic of concern in
Statics
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.
Second Law forms the basis for most of the analysis in Dynamics
Third Law: The mutual forces of action and reaction between two
particles are equal, opposite, and collinear.
Third law is basic to our understanding of Force Forces

always occur in pairs of equal and opposite forces.
Mechanics: Newton’s Law of Gravitational Attraction
Mechanics: Newton’s Law of Gravitational Attraction
Scalars and Vectors
Scalars: only magnitude is associated. Ex: time, volume, density,
speed, energy, mass
Vectors: possess direction as well as magnitude, and must obey the

parallelogram law of addition (and the triangle law).
Ex: displacement, velocity, acceleration, force, moment, momentum
Speed is the magnitude of velocity.

Scalars and Vectors
Equivalent Vector: V = V1 + V2 (Vector Sum)
Scalars and Vectors
Scalars and Vectors
Principle of Transmissibility
The effect of a force acting at any point of rigid body is unchanged if the
point of application of force is changed to any other point on ts line of
action, provided that these two points are rigidly connected to each
other.
For further explanation, take moment in both cases (about X). Moment
is multiplication of force and its perpendicular distance between line of
action of force and point about which moment is to be taken. As only
one perpendicular can be drawn on one line (i.e. line of action of force)
from one point (i.e. point about which moment is to be taken). So, both
moments will have same value.
Thus, force can be considered to be exerted at any point on its line of
action.
Lecture 2
In last lecture we discuss about the Introduction of
Engineering Mechanics. What is rigid and elastic bodies.
Finally, we discuss about the forces and laws of motion.

Topics Covered in Lecture 2:
System of forces
● Different type of forces.
● Resultant of several concurrent coplanar forces with numerical.
● Triangle law of forces
● Resultant (Law of parallelogram of forces) of a several concurrent
coplanar forces by summing rectangular component with numerical.
● Polygon law of forces
● Resolution of forces with numerical.
● Lami’s theorem
Force System
Force: Magnitude (P), direction
(arrow) and point of application
(point A) is important
Change in any of the three

specifications will alter the effect
on the bracket.
Force is a Fixed Vector
In case of rigid bodies, line of action of force is important (

Force System
In case of rigid bodies, line of action of force is important (not its point
of application if we are interested in only the resultant external effects
of the force), we will treat most forces as
External effect: Forces applied

(applied force); Forces exerted by
bracket, bolts, Foundation (reactive
force)
Internal effect: Deformation, strain

pattern – permanent strain;
depends on material properties of
bracket, bolts, etc.
Type of Forces
Concurrent Forces: The forces, which meet at a point or passes
through a point in the space, are called concurrent forces.
F1, F2 are concurrent forces; R will be on

same plane; R = F1+F2
Forces act at same point

Type of Forces
Coplanar Forces: The forces,
which are acting on a plane, are
known as coplanar forces.
Compressive Forces: The forces,

which try to contract the body
(shorten the length), are termed as
compressive forces.
Type of Forces
Tensile Forces: The forces,
which try to elongate the body
(increasing the length), are
termed as compressive forces.
Shear Forces: The forces,

which act tangential to the body
and try to shear the body, are
known as shear force.
Type of Forces
Bending Forces: The forces, which try to bend the body (in a
curvature shape), are termed as bending forces.
Resolution of Forces
Resultant: When a system of forces acting on a body is being

replaced by a single force such that the effect of the system of
forces on the body is exactly same of the single force. Then,
such single force is known as the resultant.
Any inclined force will have two components. Say force P is acting at any point
with angle q from vertical, then it will have two components, one in horizontal
direction or in X-axis Direction (PX) and second in vertical direction or in Y-axis
direction (PY). the direction will be such that all the arrow are point in same
direction. The component on the side of angle will be “cos” component. And,
other component will be of “sin” component.
Laws of Resolution of Forces: There are following Laws to
resolve the forces :
● Law of Parallelogram
● Law of Triangle
● Law of Polygon
● Lami’s Theorem
The Parallelogram Law: If two forces acting at a point are represented in
magnitude and direction by the adjacent sides of a parallelogram, then the
diagonal passing through their points of intersection represent the resultant in
both, direction and magnitude.
Law of Triangle of Forces: If two forces acting at a point are
represented by the two sides of a triangle taken in order, the
their sum or resultant will be represented by the third side of the
triangle taken in reverse order.
Law of Polygon of Forces: If the number of coplanar forces
are acting at a point such that they can be represented in
magnitude and direction by the sides of a polygon taken in an
order, then their resultant will be represented by the closing side
of that polygon taken in opposite order (in both, magnitude and
direction). Here, the resultant will not depend upon the order or
sequence of considered forces (take 1,2, 3 or take 2,1,3..)
Three ways to represent the vector
Classroom Tutorial

their resultant.

Moment of a Force
Moment: Moment of a force about any point is equal to the

multiplication force and its perpendicular distance from that
point.
Moment = Force x perpendicular Distance (N-m)

Moment of a Force
Moment of a Force
Any force that has the same magnitude and
direction as F, is equivalent if it also has the
same line of action and therefore, produces
the same moment.
Varignon’s Theorem (Principle of
Moments)
Moment of a Force about a point is equal to
the sum of the moments of the force’s
components about the point.

Example on moment of force
Example: Calculate the magnitude of

the moment about the base point O of
the 600 N force in different ways

Solution of example on moment of force
Moment of a Couple
Moment produced by two equal, opposite and
non-collinear forces is called a couple.
Magnitude of the combined moment of the two
forces about O:
Moment of a Couple
The moment vector of the couple is
independent of the choice of the origin
of the coordinate axes, i.e., it is a free
vector that can be applied at any point
with the same effect.

● Explain the different type of supports like frictional less, roller and knife
edge, hinged, built in supports.
● Explain the free body diagram with external and internal forces with

Rigid Body Equilibrium
A rigid body will remain in equilibrium provided
Sum of all the external
forces acting on the
body is equal to zero
Sum of the moments

of the external forces
about a point is equal
to zero
Equivalent Systems: Resultants
Magnitude and direction of the resultant force R is obtained by
forming the force polygon where the forces are added head to
tail in any sequence
Equilibrant: The single force, which when applied to a system
of forces acting on a body or particle, puts the body or particle in
equilibrium condition, is known as equilibrant. In magnitude, it is
same as resultant, but direction is just opposite.
Example on Equivalent Systems: Resultants
For the beam, reduce the system of forces shown to (a) an equivalent
force-couple system at A, (b) an equivalent force couple system at B,
and (c) a single force or resultant.
Note: Since the support reactions are not included, the given system will not maintain the
beam in equilibrium.
a) Compute the resultant force for the forces shown and the resultant
couple for the moments of the forces about A.
b) Find an equivalent force-couple system at B based on the
force-couple system at A. The force is unchanged by the movement of
the force-couple system from A to B.
The couple at B is equal to the moment about B of the force-couple

system found at A.
