MECHANICS OF RIGID BODIES
SI Units (SI)
-The International System of units, the SI system defines length in
meters (m), time in seconds (s), and mass in kilograms (kg). The
unit of force, called a newton (N), is derived from F = ma .
1N = 1kg-m/s2
When a numerical quantity is either very large or very small, the units
used to define its size may be modified by using a prefix.
WEIGHT AND MASS
PROBLEM NO. 1
What is the weight(N) in Paris of a body whose
mass is 1050 g?
PROBLEM NO. 2
A person who is 6’1” tall and weighs 185 pound
force (lbf). Find the height and weight in SI units?
FORCE SYSTEM
Force System: is any arrangement where two or more forces act on a body
or on a group of related bodies.
Coplanar: When all forces are lying in one plane.
Non- Coplanar: When all forces do not lie in one plane.
Collinear: When the lines of action of all the forces of a system act
along the same line.
Parallel: Forces that act in the same or opposite directions at different
points on an object.
Concurrent: Refer to those forces which intersect through a common
point.
Non-concurrent: When the forces of a system do not meet at a
common point of concurrency

VECTOR AND SCALAR QUANTITY
Triangle Law:
When two vectors are represented as two sides of the triangle with
the order of magnitude and direction, then the third side of the
triangle represents the magnitude and direction of the resultant
vector.
PARALLELOGRAM LAW OF VECTOR ADDITION
Parallelogram Law:
If two vectors acting simultaneously at a point can be represented
both in magnitude and direction by the adjacent sides of a
parallelogram drawn from a point, then the resultant vector is
represented both in magnitude and direction by the diagonal of the
parallelogram passing through that point.

Pythagorean Theorem
SINE LAW AND COSINE LAW
SINE LAW: This law is useful for COSINE LAW: This law is mostly useful
finding a missing angle when given an for finding an angle measure when given
angle and two sides, or for finding a all side lengths. It's also useful for finding
missing side when given two angles a missing side when given the other sides
and one side. and one angle measure.
