Study Notes
Statics
- Statics is the study of bodies and structures in equilibrium.
- For a body to be in equilibrium, there must be no net force acting on it.
- Objects in constant motion (no acceleration) are also treated using principles of equilibrium.
- Static equilibrium only describes objects at rest.
Dynamics
- Dynamics is a subdivision of mechanics.
- It focuses on the motion of objects considering physical factors like force, mass, momentum, and energy.
Kinematics
- Kinematics studies the geometrically possible motion of bodies or systems, without considering forces or causes of motion.
Kinetics
- Kinetics studies the effect of forces and torques on the motion of bodies with mass.
Scalars and Vectors
- Scalars are quantities described by magnitude alone (e.g., time, volume, speed, mass, temperature, distance, energy, work).
- Vectors are quantities described by both magnitude and direction (e.g., force, acceleration, velocity, momentum, weight).
Resultant of Forces/Vectors
- A resultant is the single vector equivalent to a set of vectors.
- It's the outcome or consequence of multiple forces acting together.
- Components of forces can be resolved along x and y axes.
Components of Forces
- Forces can be resolved into components along the x and y axes using trigonometric functions (sine and cosine).
- Resolving forces into components allows for more precise analysis of systems with more than one force.
- Complex notation (polar and rectangular forms) provides alternative ways to represent forces and their components.
Moment of Force
- Moment of force is a measure of a force's tendency to cause rotation about a specific point or axis.
- It is calculated as the product of the force and its perpendicular distance from the point.
