Mechanics
Physical science deals
with the state of rest or
Statics Dynamics
motion of bodies under
the action of force

groundwork for further
study in the design and
analysis of structures

Basic Terms
 Essential basic terms to be understood
 Statics: dealing with the equilibrium of a rigid-
body at rest
 Rigid body: the relative movement between its
parts are negligible
 Dynamics: dealing with a rigid-body in motion
 Length: applied to the linear dimension of a
strait line or curved line
 Area: the two dimensional size of shape or
surface 10
Basic Terms Continued . . .
 Essential basic terms to be understood

 Volume: the three dimensional size of the space
occupied by substance
 Force: the action of one body on another
whether it’s a push or a pull force
 Mass: the amount of matter in a body
 Weight: the force with which a body is attracted
toward the centre of the Earth
 Particle: a body of negligible dimension

Units of Measurement
 Four fundamental quantities in mechanics
Mass Length Time Force
 Two different systems of units we dealing with
during the course
U.S. Customary or British System of Units (FPS)
 Length in feet (ft)
Time in Seconds (sec)
 Force in Pounds (lb)
International System of Units or Metric Units (SI)
Length in metre (m)
Time in Seconds (s)
 Force in Newton (N)
12
Units of Measurement Continued . . .
 Summery of the four fundamental quantities

in the two system
SI Units US Units
Quantity
Unit Symbol Unit Symbol
Mass kilogram kg slug -
Length meter m foot ft
Time second s second sec
Force newton N pound lb
13
 Metric System (SI)

SI System offers major advantages relative to the
FPS system
Widely used throughout the world
Use one basic unit for length  meter; while FPS uses
many basic units  inch, foot, yard, mile
SI based on multiples of 10, which makes it easier to
use & learn whereas FPS is complicated, for example
►SI system 1 meter = 100 centimeters, 1 kilometer = 1000
meters, etc
►FPS system 1 foot = 12 inches, 1 yard = 3 feet, 1 mile =
5280 feet, etc 14
 Metric System (SI)

Newton’s second law F = m.a
Thus the force (N) = mass (kg)  acceleration (m/s2)
Therefore 1 newton is the force applied to 1 kg
mass to give it an acceleration of 1 m/s2
 U.S. Customary System (FPS)
Force (lb) = mass (slugs)  acceleration (ft/sec2 )
Thus (slugs) = lb.sec2/ft
Therefore 1 slug is the mass which is given an
acceleration of 1 ft/sec2 when acted upon by a
force of 1 lb
15
 Conversion of Units
Converting from one system of unit to another;
Quantity FPS Equals SI

Force 1 lb 4.448 N
Mass 1 slug 14.593 kg
Length 1 ft 0.304 m
 The standard value of g (gravitational acceleration)

 SI units g = 9.806 m/s2
 FPS units g = 32.174 ft/sec2

Mathematics Required
 The followings are the mathematics skills that

are important for this module:
Quadratic equations
Simultaneous equations
Trigonometry functions of a right angle triangle
sine and cosine rules
17
Mathematics Required continued…
 Quadratic equations
The equation has the standard form as follows
ax2+bx+c=0 (1.1)
The standard solution to this equation is
−b± b2 −4ac
x= (1.2)
2a 18
Example 1
Solve for x in the equation 5x2 + 12x – 2 = 0.

Comparing equation 1.1 above, and substitute a=5, b=12 and c= –2
into equation 1.2, the solution is :
−12± (12)2−4(5)(−2)
x=
2(5)
−12±13.56
=
10
= +0.156 or -2.56
19
 Simultaneous equations
The equation has two unknowns x and y in the form of
ax+by+c =0 (1.3)
px+qy+r =0 (1.4)
Example 2
Find the values of x and y satisfying the following equations
4x+3y+10 =0 (1)
20x+30y+5 =0 (2)
There are two methods of solving these equations
20
Method of substitution
We can start by expressing x in terms of y, or y in terms of x.
Let us choose to express x in terms of y, from (1)
−3y−10
x= (3)
4
Substituting (3) into (2), yielding
−3y−10
20( )+30y+5 = 0
4
-15y-50+30y+5 = 0
15y-45 = 0
y=3
To find x , substitute value of y in (3)
−3 3 −10 −19
x= ֜
4 4 21
Method of elimination
This method looks for a way to eliminate one of the

unknowns.
This can be done by making the constant factor of that

unknown same in both the equations by multiplying or
dividing the one equation by a selected constant.
Do example by your own.

 Trigonometry functions of a right angle triangle

sin θ= = = cos β
hypotenuse h
𝛽 adjacent side a
h cos θ= = = sin β
o hypotenuse h

𝜃 tan θ= =
adjacent side a
a sin θ

cos θ
23
 Sine and cosine rules

For triangles that are not right angle triangle,
following two rules are very important:
cosine rule C
a2= b2+c2-2bc Cos𝛼

b2=c2+a2-2ac Cos β b 𝛾 a
c2=a2+b2-2ab Cos𝛾 𝛼 β
sine rule A
c B
a b c
= =
sin α sin β sin γ
If 𝛼 = 900 then cosine law will be
a2 =b2+c2 (Pythagoras theorem)
24
 Geometry
Some of the basic rules are shown below:
Sum of supplementary angles is 1800
𝜶 𝜷
𝜶 + 𝜷 = 𝟏𝟖𝟎 0
If a straight line intersect two parallel lines, then

their alternate angles are equal.
𝜸=𝜷,𝜶=𝜽 𝜸
𝜶 = 𝜷, 𝜸 = 𝜽 𝜽
𝜷
𝜶
Concept of similar triangles
