Introduction to Mechanics
What is mechanics?
Mechanics
Physical science deals
with the state of rest or
Statics Dynamics
motion of bodies under
the action of force
Kinematics
Why we study mechanics?
This science form the Kinatics
groundwork for further
study in the design and
analysis of structures

Force Systems
Basic Terms
Vectors: A quantity that has both magnitude &
direction.Force & velocity are vectors
Scalars: A quantity characterized by a positive or
negative number. Mass, length are scalars
External force: forces external to a body can be
either applied forces or reactive forces.
Internal forces: the resistance to deformation, or
change of shape, exerted by the material of a body.
Principle of Transmissibility of a Force: States
that a force may be considered as acting at any point
on its line of action so long as the direction and
magnitude are unchanged.

Force Systems
Type of force systems F2
Concurrent forces
F1
The lines of action of all forces
pass through the common point
F3
Coplanar forces F3
The line of action of all forces F1
lie in the same plan F4 F2
Colinear forces F2 F1
Two or more forces act on body
along the same straight line

Resultant Force
Definition
The resultant force is a single force which can
replace two or more forces and produce the same
effect on the body as the forces.

Resultant Force
Resultant of multi concurrent forces.
Ex. Three forces as shown. Rx, Ry & R are Requested
Algebraic method
Get the component of all forces in X & Y
axis separately & workout the sign (- or +).
