Study Notes
Introduction to Basic Mechanics
- Mechanics is the study of forces and their effect on bodies at rest or in motion.
- It is used to understand forces acting on structures like boiler supports, girders, and elevators.
Branches of Mechanics
- Static Mechanics: Deals with forces and their effect on rigid bodies at rest.
- Dynamic Mechanics: Deals with motion and the effects of forces acting upon rigid bodies in motion.
Newton's Laws of Motion
- First Law: A body continues in its state of rest or uniform motion in a straight line, unless acted upon by an external force.
- Second Law: The rate of change of motion is proportional to the force producing the change and occurs in the direction of the force.
- Third Law: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
Objective 1: Defining Key Terms
- Mass: The quantity of matter a body contains, measured in kilograms (kg).
- Weight: The force exerted on an object due to gravity, measured in Newtons (N).
- Acceleration: The rate of change of velocity over time, measured in meters per second squared (m/s²).
- Velocity: The rate of change of position (displacement) over time, measured in meters per second (m/s).
- Force: Any action that tends to change a body's size, shape, or state of rest or motion, measured in Newtons (N).
Objective 2: Performing Calculations
- Pressure: Force per unit area, measured in Pascals (Pa).
- Pressure Formula: Pressure = Force / Area
- Work: The product of force and distance, measured in Joules (J).
- Work Formula: Work done = Force x Distance
- Power: The rate at which work is done, measured in Watts (W).
- Power Formula: Power = Work done / Time
- Energy: Ability of a body to do work.
- Potential Energy (PE): The energy possessed by a body due to its position, measured in Joules (J).
- Potential Energy Formula: PE = Mass x Gravity x Height
- Kinetic Energy (KE): The energy possessed by a body due to its motion, measured in Joules (J).
- Kinetic Energy Formula: KE = 1/2 x Mass x Velocity²
Acceleration due to Gravity
- The Earth's gravitational force causes a falling body to accelerate at a rate of 9.81 m/s².
- This acceleration due to gravity is constant near the Earth's surface.
- Force due to gravity on a 1 kg mass is 9.81 N.
