Statics of Particles

The study of the forces acting on a particle, considering its state of rest or motion.

Resultant Force (2D)

A single force that has the same effect as multiple forces acting on a particle in a 2D plane.

Equilibrium (2D)

A state where the resultant force acting on a particle is zero in a 2D plane. The particle is at rest or moving at constant velocity.

Resultant Force (3D)

A single force that has the same effect as multiple forces acting on a particle in a 3D space.

Study Notes

Statics - SMJP1033 Engineering Mechanics

  • Course name: Statics - SMJP1033
  • Course description: Engineering Mechanics

Statics of Particles

  • Study of forces acting on a particle
  • Methods to produce or destroy motion
    • Body at rest
    • Body in motion
    • Body accelerating or decelerating
  • Bodies where size and shape have no effect on the solution
  • All forces are assumed to act at the same point

Resultant 2D and 3D

  • 2D: Resultant force is not zero (R ≠ 0)
  • 2D Equilibrium: Resultant force is zero (R = 0)
  • 3D: Resultant force is not zero (R ≠ 0)
  • 3D Equilibrium: Resultant force is zero (R = 0)

Resultant 2D - Force as a Vector and Resultant

  • Force characteristics: Magnitude, direction (line of action), and point of application
  • Multiple forces acting on a particle are replaced with a single equivalent force or resultant force

Resultant 2D - Force Vector Diagrams

  • Graphical methods to determine the resultant force
  • Parallelogram law and triangle law are used

Problem Solving Methods

  • Free Body Diagrams (FBDs)
  • Trigonometry Method (Sine & Cosine Rules)
  • Rectangular Component Method (Theorem Pythagoras)

Equilibrium 2D

  • Newton's First Law: If the resultant force on a particle is zero, the particle remains at rest or continues at constant speed in a straight line.
  • Problem Solving Steps
    • Free Body Diagram (FBD)
    • Analysis of the problem

Concept of Pulley Systems

  • Pulley systems change the direction or magnitude of forces to balance a load or structure in equilibrium.
