Dynamics of Rigid Bodies: 1 Semester 2020 - 2021

This document provides an overview of topics covered in a dynamics of rigid bodies course, including: 1. Principles of dynamics, which deals with the study of bodies in motion and divides into kinematics and kinetics. Kinematics is the geometry of motion, and kinetics relates forces to mass and acceleration. 2. Rectilinear and curvilinear translation, rotation, plane motion, work, power, energy, and impulse and momentum. 3. Sample problems are provided to demonstrate equations for rectilinear motion with constant acceleration, including displacement, velocity, acceleration, and Newton's laws of motion.

Lesson / Topics 1: Principles of Dynamics

Dynamics is the branch of mechanics which deals with the study of bodies in motion.
Dynamics is divided into 2 branches, kinematics and kinetics.
Kinematics – is the geometry of motion. It is used to define the motion of a particle or
body without consideration of the forces causing the motion. It is essentially a treatment
of the relations between displacement, velocity and acceleration.
Kinetics – is the branch of mechanics that relates the force acting on a body to its mass
and acceleration.
Displacement – is a particle is the vector distance from an origin to the position
occupied by the particle on its path of travel.
Velocity – defined as the time rate of change of displacement.
Acceleration – defined as the time rate of change of velocity.
Newton's Law of Motion for a Particle:
1. a particle acted upon by a balance for system has no acceleration.
2. A particle acted upon by an unbalanced force system has an acceleration in line
with and directly proportional to the result of the force system.
3. Action and reaction forces speaking to particles are always equal and oppositely
directed.

Units:
Displacement: foot, cm, miles
Velocity: ft per sec, cm for sec, miles per hour
Acceleration: ft per sec2, cm per sec2, miles per hour2

Sample Problems:
1. On a certain stretch of track, trains run at 60 kph. How far back of a stopped train
should a warning torpedo be placed to signal an oncoming train? Assume that
the brakes are applied at once and retard the train as the uniform rate of 2 ft per
sec2?

Solution:
2. A ball is dropped from the top of a tower 80 ft high as the same instant that a
second ball is thrown upward from the ground with an initial velocity of 40 ft/sec.
a. When do they pass each other?
b. Where do they pass each other?
c. With what relative velocity will they pass?
Solution:
a. When do they pass each other:

b. Where they pass each other:

c. Relative velocity:
