What is Engineering Mechanics?
Mechanics is consist of:
1. Mechanics of rigid bodies – “engineering mechanics: statics and
dynamics”
2. Mechanics of deformable bodies – “study of strength of materials”
3. Mechanics of Fluids - study of fluid behavior at rest and in motion
and the forces on them.
What is Engineering Mechanics?
Subdivided into:
• Statics – considers the effects and
distribution of forces on rigid bodies
which remain at rest.
• Dynamics – consider the motion of rigid
bodies caused by the forces acting upon
them .
Fundamental Concepts and Principles
Newton’s Law of Motion
First Law: If the resultant force acting on a particle is zero, the particle
remains at rest (if originally at rest) or moves with constant speed in a
straight line
Second Law: If the resultant force acting on a particle is not zero, the
particle has an acceleration proportional to the magnitude of the
resultant and in the direction of this resultant force.
𝑭 = 𝑚𝒂
F = net force; m = mass of the object; a = acceleration (rate of change in velocity)
Fundamental Concepts and Principles
Newton’s Law of Motion
Third Law: The forces of action and reaction between bodies in contact
have the same magnitude, same line of action, and opposite sense.
Newton’s Law of Gravitation: Two particles of mass M and m are
mutually attracted with equal and opposite forces F and -F of
magnitude F, given by
𝐹 = 𝐺
𝑀𝑚
𝑟2
F = attracting force; M = mass of the larger object; m = mass of the smaller object; G = constant of gravitation;
r = distance between the objects
Fundamental Concepts and Principles
Basic Quantities:
• Length – use to locate the position in space.
• Time – a succession of events
• Mass – measure of a quantity of matter that is used to compare the
action of one body with that of another.
• Force – considered as a “push” or “pull” exerted by one body to
another; action of one body on another.

What is a Force?
• Force – an action that changes or tends
to change the state of motion of a body
(i.e., external effect of a force).
• Internal effects perspective, a force that
produces stress and deformation in the
body at which the force is exerted
(mechanics of deformable bodies).
• Force is characterized by a) point of
application, b) magnitude, c) its
direction.
What is a Force?
• Magnitude - is the amount, quantity or intensity of a force which is
represented in terms of vectors.
• Direction - is the direction of the line along which it acts and may be
expressed as vertical, horizontal, or at some angle with the vertical or
horizontal.
• Point of application - is the point of contact between two bodies or
the point where the force acts in the body.
• Sense - is the way its acts along its line of action upward, downward
to the right or left and its generally denoted by an arrowhead.
What is a Force?
Principle of Transmissibility of a force
states that the external effect of a force
on a body is the same for all points of
application along its line of action.
e.g., when you want to move a block
forward, you can either push it or pull it
forward.

Force Systems
• Force systems – any arrangement where two or more forces act on a
body or on a group of related bodies.
• Types of force systems:
1. Coplanar – line of action of all the
forces in a force system lie in one
plane.
2. Non-coplanar – line of action of the
forces in a force system lie in more
than one plane.

Concurrent Force System
• Forces when extended will pass
through a single point called point of
concurrency.

Components of a Force
• Force is a vector, it has magnitude
and direction.
• Force vector can be resolve into
two perpendicular forces called
components (i.e., 𝐹𝑥, x-component
and 𝐹𝑦, y-component).
• Vector notation of force F is,
𝑭 = 𝐹𝑥𝒊 + 𝐹𝑦𝒋
Note:
Positive (force to the right; upward force)
Negative (force to the left; downward force)
Components of a Force
Take the force F in the figure,
𝐹𝑥 = 𝐹 cos 𝜃𝑥 = 𝐹 sin 𝜃𝑦
𝐹𝑦 = 𝐹 sin 𝜃𝑥 = 𝐹 cos 𝜃𝑦

can solve the magnitude as

Moment of a Force
• Moment - measures of the capacity or ability
of the force to produce twisting or turning
effect about an axis.
• Magnitude of the moment is the product of
the force and the perpendicular distance
from the axis to the line of action of the
force.
𝑀 = 𝐹 ∙ 𝑑 𝐹 – force perpendicular to the axis
