Physics and Mechanics
• Physics deals with the nature and properties of
matter and energy. Common language is
mathematics. Physics is based on experimental
observations and quantitative measurements.
• Area of study
• Classical mechanics
• Thermodynamics– Heat Transfer
• Fluid Mechanics
• Classical mechanics deals with the motion and
equilibrium of material bodies and the action of
forces.
Classical Mechanics
• Classical mechanics deals with the motion of

objects
• Classical mechanics concerns the motion of
objects that are large relative to atoms and move
at speeds much slower than the speed of light (i.e.
nearly everything!)
Heat
Energy
Thermodynamics :
- Change of heat to mechanical work
- Change of energy
1-1
Applications of Thermodynamics
The human body

Air-conditioning Airplanes
systems
Car radiators Power plants Refrigeration systems

Heat Transfer
Chapter 1 UNITS
• To be quantitative in Physics requires measurements

• How tall is the SILO? How about
his weight?
• Height: 20.50 m
• Weight: 10,000 kg
• Number + Unit
Type Quantities
• Many things can be measured: distance, speed,

energy, time, force ……
• These are related to one another: speed = distance /
time
• Three basic quantities (DIMENSIONS):
• LENGTH
• MASS
• TIME
SI Unit for 3 Basic Quantities
• Many possible choices for units of Length, Mass,

Time (e.g. Silo is 20.50 m)
• In 1960, standards bodies control and define Système
Internationale (SI) unit as,
• LENGTH: Meter
• MASS: Kilogram
• TIME: Second
Fundamental Quantities and SI Units
Length meter m
Mass kilogram kg
Time second s
Electric Current ampere A
Thermodynamic Temperature kelvin K
Luminous Intensity candela cd
Amount of Substance mole mol
SI Length Unit: Meter
• French Revolution Definition, 1792

• 1 Meter = XY/10,000,000
• 1 Meter = about 3.28 ft
• 1 km = 1000 m, 1 cm = 1/100 m, 1
mm = 1/1000 m
• Current Definition of 1 Meter: the
distance traveled by light in vacuum
during a time of 1/299,792,458
second.
SI Time Unit: Second
• 1 Second is defined in terms of an “atomic clock”– time taken

for 9,192,631,770 oscillations of the light emitted by a 133Cs
atom.
• Defining units precisely is a science (important, for example,
for GPS):
• This clock will neither gain nor lose a second in 20 million
years.
SI Mass Unit: Kilogram
• 1 Kilogram – the mass of a

specific platinum-iridium alloy kept at
International Bureau of Weights and
Measures near Paris. (Seeking more
accurate measure:

aders/21569417-kilogram-it-seems-
no-longer-kilogram-paris-worth-mass)
• Copies are kept in many other
countries.
• Yao Ming is 141 kg, equivalent to
weight of 141 pieces of the alloy
cylinder.

Derived Quantities and Units
• Multiply and divide units just like numbers

• Derived quantities: area, speed, volume, density ……
• Area = Length Length SI unit for area = m2
• Volume = Length Length Length SI unit for volume = m3
• Speed = Length / time SI unit for speed = m/s
• Density = Mass / Volume SI unit for density =
kg/m3
• In 2008 Olympic Game, Usain Bolt sets world record at 9.69 s in

Men’s 100 m Final. What is his average speed ?
100 m 100 m
speed = =  = 10.32 m/s
9.69 s 9.69 s
Dimensions, Units and Equations
• Quantities have dimensions:
• Length – L, Mass – M, and Time - T
• Quantities have units: Length – m, Mass – kg, Time – s
• To refer to the dimension of a quantity, use square
brackets, e.g. [F] means dimensions of force.
Quantity Area Volume Speed Acceleration

Dimension [A] = L2 [V] = L3 [v] = L/T [a] = L/T2
SI Units m2 m3 m/s m/s2
Conversion Units
Units of Energy and Work
Joule, Calorie
Work & Energy is Force (N) x Distance (M)
Pressure (atm) is Force per unit Area (M2)
Work & Energy can have dimensions (joule):
Pressure x Area x Distance or Pressure x Volume
atm m3 (liter)
atm x liter = newton x meter = joule

1 cal = 4.1840 x10-7 ergs
1 Joule = 107 ergs
1 ergs = 1 dyne cm = 1 g cm2 / s2
Assignment 11 October 2023
1 Derive the unite of the following:
- momentum ( mv)
- Energy (Fx)
- Pressure (F/A)
2. Drag force is related to the density, ρ and velocity, v by the
equation: F = k ρ v2
Where k is a constant. Find the unit of the constant, k
3. By reference to ideal gas equation, PV = nRT where

P = pressure of the gas, V = Volume of the gas, n number of mol, R
= molar gas constant, T = temperature of the gas.
Express the unit of R.
