INTRODUCTION TO DYNAMICS
Mechanics as the origin of Dynamics:
Mechanics is defined as that science which describe and predicts the conditions of rest or
motion of bodies under the action of forces. It is the foundation of most engineering sciences. It can
be divided and subdivided as below:
(i) Newtonian Mechanics

(Engineering Mechancis)
(ii) Relativistic Mechanics

(It deals with the conditions
involving seed of bodies
close to the speed of light )
(iii) Quantum Mechanics

(It deals with the conditions
involving extremely small
mass and size ie atomic distance)

Dynamics:
It is which of Newtonian Mechanics which deals with the forces and their effects, while
acting upon the bodies in motion. When we talk about the motion of the planets in our solar system,
motion of a space craft, the acceleration of an automobile, the motion of a charged particle in an
electric field, swinging of a pendulum, we are talking about Dynamics.
Kinematics:
It is that branch of Dynamics which deals with the displacement of a particles or rigid body
over time with out reference to the forces that cause or change the motion. It is concerned with the
position, velocity and acceleration of moving bodies as functions of time.
Kinetics:
It is that branch of Dynamics which deals with the motion of a particle or rigid body, with
the reference to the forces and other factor that cause or influence the motion. For the study of
motion Newtons Second Law is widely used.

Chapter:- 2
Determination of motion of particles:
In general motion of particles (position, velocity and acceleration ) is expressed in terms of
function as,
X = f(x) , [ x = 6t2 +t3 ]
* But in practice the relation of motion may be defined by any other equation with function of x,
v,& t .
a = f(t)
a = f(x)
a = f(v) etc.
so these given relation are integrated to get the general relation of motion x = f(t) .
Case-I: When acceleration is given as function of time [i.e a = f(t) ] [ a = 6t2+t3]
We know,
a = dv/dt dv = adt
or, dv = f(t) dt
Now integrating both sides taking limit as time varies from 0 to t and velocity varies form vo to v.
vo
dv = f (t )dt
0
v v o = f (t )dt
o
v = v o + f (t )dt .......(i )
o
Again, velocity is given by,

V = dx/dt dx = vdt
Again integration both sides of equation similarly form time 0 to t and position xo to x.
We get,
xo
dx = vdt
0
v + t f (t )dt dt Putting value of V form equation (i)

o 0 0

x = xo + vo + f (t )dt dt .........(ii )

Thus position is obtained from equation of a = f(t)
x xo =
# Find the velocity and position of a particles after its 5 sec from Rest, which moves with equation of
a = 6t2-4t.
Solution:
Given equation a = f(t) a = 6t2 4t
xo = 0 , vo = 0 and t = 5.
We know,
V0 =
f (t )dt =
v = 2t 3 2t 2
Again,

f (t )dt dt
[0 + 200]dt =
t
200dt = [200t ]0
= 100 m
Therefore, x = 100m and v = 200m/s after 5 second of motion.
Case-II When the acceleration is a given function of position [ i.e a = f(x) eg. x2+4x]
We know,
a = dv/dt = dv/dx . dx/dt = v.dv/dx
or, vdv = adx
or, vdv = f(x)dx
[ a = f(x)]
Now , Integrating both sides of above equation , taking limit as velocity varies from Vo to v as
position p varies form xo to x.

vdv =

v = v02 + 2 f ( x)dx .......(1)
x0
Again We know,
V = dx/dt dx = vdt.
Integrating both sides with limits as time varies from 0 to t and position from xo to x .
i.e
xo
dx = vdt ........(1)
o
Putting value of v varies from equation (1) we get,

x xo =

v + 2 f ( x)dx dt
xo

x = x0 + vo2 + 2 f ( x)dx dt

Case III : When acceleration is a given function of velocity (i.e a =f(v) eg. a = v2+v)
We know, a = v dv/dx f(v) = v dv/dx
Or , dx = v dv/f(v)
Integrating both sides taking limit as velocity varies form vo to v and position varies from xo to x

e.g The acceleration of a particle is defined as a = -0.0125v2, the particle is given as initial velocity
v0, find the distance traveled before its velocity drops to half.
Solution:
Given, a = -0.0125v2 i.e a = f(v) ,
Initial velocity vo, final velocity vo/2
For motion a = f(v) xo = 0, x = ?
v
x = x0 + v

x = xo + v

0.0125 2v0
Or, x = 24.08 m ans.
2.2 Uniform Rectilinear motion:

* Uniform motion means covering equal distance over equal intervals of time. ie velocity = constant.
We have,
V = dx/dt = v [ v = constant velocity of body]
dx = udt
x0
dx = vdt
0
[ Integrating both sides under limits as position varies from xo to x and

time 0 to t]
x xo = vt
x = xo +vt
Change in position (or displacement) is equal to uniform velocity x change in time [ i.e s = vt]
2.3 Uniform Accelerated Rectilinear motion:
If constant acceleration be a then,
dv/dt = a = constant dv = adt
Integrating both sides with limit v0 to v and 0 to t .

We get,
v0
dv = a dt v v0 = at
0
v = v 0 + at ........(1)
Again for position , we have
v = dx/dt ..(2) from 1 and 2.
dx = (vo +at) dt ,
Integrating both sides over the limits
x0
dx = (v 0 + dt )at x x0 = v0 t +
t
x = x0 + v0 t +
Also, a = v

v 2 = v 02 + 2a( x x 0 )
xo = Initial position
x = Final position
v0 = Initial velocity.
v = Final velocity
0 = Initial time
t = Final time
2.4 Motion of several particles:

Two or more particles moving in straight line.
Equations of motion may be written for each particles as:
(a) Relative motion of two particles

(b) Dependent motion.
(a) Relative motion of two particles:
Consider two particles A and B moving along the same straight line as follows:
A
xA
[ xB/A =xB - xA ]
xB/A
xB
Position co-ordinates of A = xA
Position co-ordinates of B = xB
Relative position co-ordinate of B w.r.t A = xB-xA = xB/A
xB = xA+xA/B (1) [ + xB/A B is right to A in position ]

[ -xB/A B is left to B in position ]
Differentiating equation (1) w.r.t time we get,

VB = VA+VB/A ------(2)
[ VA , VB absolute velocity of pt. A and B]

[VB/A velocity of B observed from pt. A]
Differentiating equation (2) w.r.t time we get,

aB = aA +aB/A (3)
[ aB , aA absolute velocity of pt A and B and aB/A acceleration of pt B w.r.t pt A. ]
(b) Dependent Motion:
When the position of a particles will dependent upon the position of another or several other particles, the
motions are said to be dependent. eg :- pulley systems, Gear system etc.
Pulley system as Dependent motion:
Consider the pulleys system in which the position of Block B depends upon the position of Block A as
follows:
From Figure:
IH = Constant
G
JB = Constant
Arc CD = Constant
Arc EF = Constant
xA
D
xB
AC+DE+FG = Constant
Now,
XA = AC +IH = AC + Constant . (i)
XB = FG +JB = FG + Constant .(ii)
Multiplying equation (ii) by 2 and Adding to (ii)

we get,
XA +2xB = AC+2FG+ Constant
= AC + FG+FG +Constant
= AC +FG+DE+DG+ constant [ Since FG = DE+DG]
=AC+FG+DE+ Constant [ Since DG = Constant ]

xA+2xB = Constant ..(iv) [ AC+DE+FG = Constant ]
If A block A is given xA motion it will produce xB = (-xA/2) as the motion of Block B.
Differentiating equation (iv) w.r.t time , we get,

VA+2VB = 0 , (v)
Or, VB = -(VA/2)
Similarly differentiating equation (v) w.r.t time we get,
AA +2aB = 0 (vi)
Or, aB = - (aA/2) [ Negative sign denotes opposite in direction ]
* In this case displacement, velocity and acceleration of one body gives the displacement, velocity and
acceleration of other body. This arrangement is called 1-degree freedom .
# Derive the equation of motion of the given pulley system.
Solution:
2xA +2xB +xc = Constant .(1)
2vA +2vB +vc = 0 ..(2)
2aA +2aB +ac = 0 .(3)

2.6 Graphical solution of Rectilinear motion problems:

* Graphical solution are very helpful to simply and solve the problems of Dynamics.
* Using the motion graphs (i.e x t , v-t and a-t ) the missing value at any point can be obtained .
* If any on equation of motion is known all the three graphs can be obtained as follows.
If equation of displacement x = f(t) ..(i) is known,
Then , V = dx/dt .(ii)
a = dv/dt .(ii)
i.e velocity is slope of x-t curve and acceleration is slope of v-t curve.

x= f(t)

Slo e

V= f(t)

If x-t curve is given, then computing slope at each point of x-t curve corresponding v-t curve can be
generated and computing slope at each point of v-t curve a-t curve can be generated.
Again,
From equation (ii)
dx = vdt

2) A ball is thrown vertically upward with a velocity of 9.15m/s. After 1s another ball is thrown with the
same velocity. Find the height at which the two ball pass each other?
Solution:
Let the initial velocity of both balls
V01 = v02 = vo = 9.15 m/s
h be the height at which two balls pass each other t1 be the time elapsed by the first ball before passing second
and t2 be the time elapsed by second.
From the given condition:
t1 t2 = 1 ..(i)
for 1st ball , n = v0t1 9t12 ..(ii)
For 2nd ball n = v0t2 9t22 (iii)
Substituting equation (iii) form equation (ii) , we get,
1 2 2
9(t1 t 2 ) = v0 (t1 t 2 )

9(t1 + t 2 )(t 2 t1 ) = v 0 (t1 t 2 )

(t1 + t 2 ) = 1.865 ...........(iv)
Adding equation (i) and (ii) , we get t1 = 1.43 sec and t2 = 0.43 sec

h = v 0 t1 9t12 = 3.05m
2
h = 3.05 m
Hence , two balls pass each other at 3.05m above the ground.
3) In the following pulley system, Block 2 has velocity 2m/s upward and its acceleration is 3m/s2 downward
while block 3 has velocity and acceleration 2m/s up ward and 4m/s2 downward respectively. Find the
velocity and acceleration of block 1.
Solution:
Given, V2 = 2m/s ()
a2 = 3m/s2 ()
v3 = 2m/s ()
a3 = 4m/s2 ()
E
Here ,
AB +CF = constant
GI +HJ = Constant
DE = Constant
Portion of rope around the pulley is also constant.
Now,
X1 = AB + constant ..(i)
X2 = GI +CF+ constant .(ii)
X3 = HJ+CF+ Constant (iii)
Multiplying equation (i) by (2) and adding
(i), (ii) and (iii) , we get
2x1 +x2+x3 = 2AB+CF+CF+GI+HJ+Const.
2x1+x2+x3 = const. ..(iv)

Differentiating equation (iv) w.r.t time.

2v1+v2+v3 = 0 (v)
2a1+a2+a3 = 0 ..(vi)
From equation v
v1 =
v 2 v3 2 2
=
= 2 m / s
2
2
Therefore, velocity of block 1 (v1) = 2 m/s ()

From equation (vi)
a1 =
a 2 a3 + 3 + 4
=
= 3 .5 m / s 2
2
2
Therefore, acceleration of block 1 (a1) = 3.5 m/s2 ()

Position vector, Velocity and Acceleration:

When a particle moves along a curve path other than a straight line, it is said to be in
curvilinear motion. Vector analysis is used to analyze the change in position and direction of motion
of particles.

Let, at time t the position vector of particle be r and at another time (t + t ) the particle takes a new

Let, P (u ) be a vector function of scalar variable u. If value of u is varied, P will trace a

Rectangular Components of Velocity and Acceleration:

When, the position of a particle is defined by at any instant by its rectangular co-ordinates x, y,
z as:
r = x&i + y&j + z&k -
(i)
Then, differentiating both sides w.r.t. time, we get,
=
where,
dr
= &x&i + &y&j + &z&k
dt
x& = v x , y& = v y & z& = v z

&x& = a x , &y& = a y & &z& = a z
So,
V = (v x2 + v y2 + v z2 )
V = v x i + v y j + v z k
a = a x i + a y j + a z k
a = ( a x2 + a y2 + a z2 )

When the motion in each axis can be represented independent with each other then the use of
rectangular components to describe the position, velocity and acceleration of a particle is effective
i.e. motion in each axis can be considered separately.
For e.g. for projectile motion, neglecting air resistance, the components of acceleration are:
a x = 0 and a y = g
or , v x = 0 and v y = g
ay
or , dv x = 0 and dy = gdt
On Integrating both sides under the limits,
vx

dv x = 0
and
vx vxo = 0
and
v y v yo = gt

v x = v xo

dy = g dt

v y = v yo = gt (v)
and
or , x& = v xo
ax
y& = v yo gt
and
dx
dy
= v xo
and
= v yo gt
dt
dt
or , dx = v xo dt and
dy = v yo dt gtdt
Integrating both sides under limits considering motion starts from origin by co-ordinates i.e. x at t=0
; x=0 ; y=0 and at t=t0, x=x0 and y=y0
or ,
x0
dx = v x0 dt
and

x & y are expanded in mm & t in sec.
a) Determine the velocity and acceleration when t=15
b) Show that the path of the particle is parabolic.
Solution:

a x = &x& = 100 2 sin t
Again, y=25cos2 t V y = y& = 50 sin 2t

Then, for t=2sec,

V x = [100 cos 1]:V y = [50 2 sin 1]

ii Second component along the normal of path of particle (an)

KINETICS OF PARTICLES
NEWTONS SECOND LAW
4.1 Newtons Second Law of Motion:
Newton has given his understanding of motion of particles and their causes and effects in 3
laws.
The first and third law of motion deals with the bodies at rest or moving with uniform velocity
i.e. without any acceleration.
For the bodies under the motion with acceleration the analysis of motion and forces producing
it is done by the application of Newtons Second Law.
Statement of Newtons 2nd Law:
If the resultant force acting on a particle is not zero, the particle will have an acceleration
proportional to the magnitude of the resultant and in the direction of this resultant force.
a2
F2
a1
F1
a2
F2
If F1 , F2 , F3 , etc be the resultant forces of different magnitude and direction acting on the particle.
Each time the particle moves in the direction of the force acting on it and if a1 , a 2 , a3 , etc be the
magnitude of the accelerations produced by the resultant forces. Then,

F1

= .......... = constant = mass of particle (m)
So, when a particle of mass m is acted upon by a force F and acceleation a, they must satisfy the
relation,
F = ma
i.e.
(i ) [ where direction of F & a are same]
Fxi + Fy j + Fz k = m axi + a y j + az k
which is Newtons Second Law.

When a particle is subjected simultaneously to several forces equation(i) is modified as:
i.e. F i + F j + F k = m a i + a j + a k
F = ma
) (
F = sum of resultant of all forces acting.

F , F , F , a , a , a are x, y and z component of the forces and acceleration acting on
where,
the particle respectively.

Notes:
(i) When the resultant force is zero, the acceleration of the particle is zero.
(ii) When V0=0 and
F = 0 , Then particle would remain at rest.
F = 0 , Then particle would move with constant velocity, V along the
(iii)When V0=V and
straight line.
(iv) All the above cases defines the first law, hence the Newtons 1st Law of Motion is a particular
case of Newtons 2nd Law of Motion.

From Newtons 2nd Law, F = ma

Improper Path Function

t2
The term F dt is called the impulse ( I ) of the force during time interval (t2-t1) whereas mv is
t1
the linear momentum vector of the particle.

So, equation (ii) states that
The impulse ( I ) over the time interval (t2-t1) equal the change in linear momentum of a
particle during that interval. [Impulse Momentum Theorem]
The impulse of force is known even when the force itself may not be known.
Again, from equatin(ii)
mv 2 = mv1 + I 1 2

System of Unit:
Units of measurement should be consistent and one of the standards should be followed.
Generally 2 standard units are taken:
a) System de' International Unit (SI unit)
b) U.S. Customary Units (used by American Engineers)
SI Units:
SI stands for System de International. SI units are the world-wide standards for the measuring
system. SI units are fundamental or derived.
Fundamental and Derived Units:

Fundamental and Derived units are the SI units. Fundamental units are independent of any
other measuring units and are the basic units for all other system whereas Derived units are the units
which are expressed in terms of powers of one or more fundamental units.
Fundamental Units
Derived Units
Length = metre (m)
Velocity = L/T = m/s
Mass = kilogram (kg)
Acceleration = V/T = L/T2 = m/s2
Time = second (s)
Force = ma = ML/T2 = kgm/s2 (N)
SI units are the absolute system of units and results are independent upon the location of
measurement.
US Customary Units:
This system is not absolute system of unit. They are gravitational system of units.
Base Units
length = foot(ft)
force = pound (lb)
time = second (s)
Conversion from US Customary Units to SI Units:
length : 1 ft = 0.3048 m
force : 1 lb = 4.448 N
mass : 1 slug = 14.59 kg
: 1 pound = 0.4536 kg

Equations of Motion and Dynamic Equilibrium
Considering a particle mass m acted upon by several forces. Then from second law,
F = ma
(i )
F = m a i + a j + a k
Using rectangular components, the equation of motions are
= ma x , F y = ma y ,
= ma z
(ii )
(i) and (ii) gives the equation of motion of particle under the force F
or,
= m&x&, Fy = m&y&,
= m&z&
Integrating these equation as done in 3.3, the equation of motion can be obtained.
Again, the equation(i) may be expressed as
F ma = 0
i.e., if we add vector ma to the resultant force in opposite direction, the system comes under the
equilibrium state. This force ( ma ) opposite to the resultant force is called Inertial Force or Inertia
Vector. This equilibrium state of a particle under the given forces and the inertia vector is said to be
dynamic equilibrium.
At the dynamic equilibrium,
Fx = 0, Fy = 0 &
=0
Inertia vector measure the resistance that particles offer when we try to set them in motion or when
we try to change the condition of their motion.
Angular Momentum and Rate of Change (Angular Momentum Theorem)

Statement
The rate of change of angular momentum of the particle about any point at any instant is equal
()
to the moment of the force F acting on that particle about the same point.
Let a particle of mass m moving in the XY-plane and the linear momentum of the particle is
equal to the vector mv.
Y
mVy
mV
The moment about O of the vector mv. (linear

momentum) is called angular momentum of the particle
mVy
at that instant and is denoted by H 0
y
x
X
Now, mvx and mvy are components of mv. in x & y

direction.
Then, from definition,
(+
H0=x(mvy)-y(mvx)
[ H
= m( xv y yv x )
(i )
Differentiating equ(i) with respect to time, we

Total momentum about a point

is sum of moment about

Q x& = v x
&
y& = v y
v& x = a x
&
v& y = a y
get:

= m(xa y ya x )
QH& = xma y ymax

H& = xF yF
y
H& = moment of Force about O

H& = m0
(ii )
Thus, the rate of change of angular momentum of the particle about any point to any instant is equal
()
to the moment of force F acting on that particle about the same point.

Equation of Motion
Rectilinear motion of particles:
If a particle of mass m is moving in a straight line under the action of coplanar forces
F1 , F2 , F3 , etc Then the motion of particle can be written as

In case of Dynamic Equilibrium all the components of forces are balanced by Inertial Vector or
Inertia force. So, for dynamic equilibrium condition, the equation of motion becomes

F = ma = 0
F = ma = 0

Motion due to Central Force-Conservation of Angular Momentum
When the force F acting on a particle P is directed towards or away from the fixed point O, the
particle is said to be moving under a central force. The fixed point O is called the center of force.
As shown in the figure, particle P moves along the curve path.
O = origin of co-ordinates
Now,

Thus, when a particle moves under the central force, the areal velocity is constant. This is also called
Keplers Law
Again, Angular momenum = momentum of linear momentum about the fixed point.
H 0 = mv r
Now,

H 0 = mr& r

[Qh = 2 A.V .]

Hence, when a particle is moving under a central force, Angular momentum is always conserved.

where, g is the acceleration due to gravity with its standard value 9.81 m/s2 at the sea level.
Since, earth is not perfectly spherical so the value of R is different and hence g varies according
to the variation of altitude and latitude.
i.8 Application in space mechanics:
Earth satellite and space vehicles are subjected only to the gravitational pull of the earth after
crossing the atmosphere. The gravitation force acts as a central force on them and hence their
motions can be predicted as follows:
From central force motion,
r 2& = h

Considering a particle P under central force F (i.e. directed towards center O)

Then we have

Work done by a Force:
When a particle moves by the application of force F producing the displacement ds, then the

[cos = cos 90 = 0]

where, T2 and T1 is final and initial K.E. of the particle.

Hence, the work of the force F is equal to the change of K.E. of the particle. This is also called as
principle of work and energy.
5.3
Applications of Principle of work and energy:

With the help of work energy principle, solution of problems, involving force, displacement
and velocity can be obtained in simple form,
e.g. Analysis of Pendulum
To determine the velocity of bob as it falls freely from A1 to A2,
weve
U 1 2 = wL
Again, at KE at A1
T1 = 0 [Q V1 = 0]
KE at A2

Now, using principle of work and energy,
T2 =
T2 T1 = U 1 2
or , T2 = U 1 2
v 2 = 2 gL
1 2
mv 2 = wL = mgL
2
[L is the vertical height of bob from reference point ]
Advantages of this method:

To find v2 it is not necessary to find a2
Equation is in the form of scalar, hence it is easy to handle.
Forces which do not work (e.g. Tension on strings), etc are eliminated.

Potential Energy:
Consider a body of weight W, which moves along a curve path from A1 to A2.
Q work done due to weight during the displacement,
5.5
U 1 2 = Wy1 Wy 2 ,
Then, work at any position,

U = Wy
(i )
The work done by gravity is independent of path and is proportional to position, work done by
gravity at any position is denoted by Vg.
U 1 2 = (V g )1 = (V g )2
(ii )
And, U = V g (iii ) where V g = Wy

If (Vg)2>(Vg)1 then work is ve (i.e. PE increases)
If (Vg)2<(Vg)1 then work is +ve (i.e. PE decreases)
(a) Potential Energy of Gravitational Force:
We know that work of Gravitational Force, when the body is displayed from A1 to A2,
GMm GMm
i.e. U 1 2 =

Then, work done at any position, U =

r is the distance of the body from the center of the earth. For large value of r, V g 0
(b) Potential Energy due to spring:

U 1 2 = kx 22 kx12
2
2
or , U 1 2 == [(Ve ) 2 (Ve )1 ]
(i )
When, (Ve)1 and (Ve)2 is the PE due to elastic force, then potential energy at any elongation of spring
x
1
Ve = kx 2
(ii )
2
During the elongation the potential energy of the spring increases.
The work of the force is independent of the path followed and is equal to minus charge of
potential energy.
i.e. U 1 2 = (V2 V1 )
(iii )
The force which satisfy the equation is called as the conservation force. The gravity force and the
elastic force are examples of conservative force.
5.6 Conservation of Energy:
We know, work of a force is equal to
U 1 2 = (V2 V1 )
(i ) [V be the PE ]
U 1 2 = V2 + V1
Again, work of a force is equal to change in KE
(ii ) [T be the KE ]
U 1 2 = T2 T1
From (i) and (ii)

V1 V2 = T2 T1
T1 + V1 = T2 + V2
E1 = E 2
(iii )
where, E = T+V = mechanical energy of the system. Hence, conservation of energy states that
mechanical energy of the system always remains constant.
Examples of Conservation of Energy:
Analysis of Pendulum
For free fall of pendulum from Al, Then
For position A1,
[ V1 = 0 ]
KE, T1 = 0
PE, V1 = wL
T1 + V1 = wL
- (i)
At position A2,
V2 =
2 gL
1 2 1 w
mv 2 = (2 gL ) = wL
2
2 g
PE at A2 (V2) = 0 [ L = 0 at A2, datum]
KE at A2 (T2) =
T2 + V2 = wL
(ii )
For position A
KE at A, (TA) =
1
1 w
mV A2 = 2 gL sin = wL sin
2
2 g
PE at A (VA) = w(L L') = wL wL sin

TA + VA = wL

- (iii)
From equation (i), (ii) and (iii), the total mechanical energy of pendulum at any position is same and
is equal to wL.
At A1, Total energy is entirely due to PE
At A2, Total energy is entirely due to KE
At A, Total energy is sum of PE + KE
Note:
For the system interacting with other forms of energy as electrical, frictional, etc all the forms
of energy should be considered. In that case as well the total energy of system is always conserved.
Hence, energy is conserved in all the cases.

5.8 Impulsive motion and Impact

(1) Impulsive Motion:
When a very large force is acted during a very short time interval on a particle and produce a definite
change in momentum, such a force is called as impulsive force and the resulting motion is called
impulsive motion.
Example of Impulsive motion:
()
Striking the ball with a cricket bat, large force F is applied in a small time (t ) , the resulting
impulse Ft is large enough to change the direction of motion of ball.

mV2
From impulse momentum principle,

mv1 + F t = mv 2

Here non-impulsive forces (like weight of ball, bat, etc) are not included.

Impact
A collision between two bodies, which occurs in very short interval of time and during which
the two bodies exert relatively large forces on each other is called an Impact.
The common normal to the surfaces in contact during the impact is called the line of impact or
line of action.
Types of Impact:
If the mass centers of the two colliding bodies are located on this line of impact, the impact is
central impact otherwise eccentric impact.
If the velocities of the two particles are directed along the line of impact, it is said to be direct
impact. If either or both particle moves along the line other than the line of impact, the impact is
Line of contact
said to be an oblique impact.
Hence, four types of impact may

occur. They are:
a) Direct Central Impact
b) Oblique Central Impact
c) Direct Eccentric Impact

Direct Central Impact:
Two particles A and B of mass mA and mB are moving in a straight line with velocities vA & vB.
If vA>vB the particle A strikes B.
Under the impact, they deform and at the end of period of deformation they will move with the
same velocity u.
After the impact the particles may gain their original shape or are permanently deformed,
depending upon the magnitude of impact and material involved which is called restitution.
After the impact and separation the particles move with v A' and v B' velocities.
The duration of time of impact when the particles comes under the deformation and restitution
during impact is called deformation period and restitution period respectively.

Considering that only impulsive forces are acting, the total momentum of the system is conserved.
i.e. m A v A + m B v B = m A v A' + m B v B'

In scalar form,
m A v A + m B v B = m A v A' + m B v B'

Value of e depends upon
Materials of particles
Impact velocity
Shape & size of colliding bodies

Generally, 0<e<1
For perfectly elastic collision, e = 1
For perfectly plastic collision, e = 0
Pdt = m v m u
From equ(iv), Rdt = m u m v
Rdt = m u m v = u v

i.e. Relative velocity after impact = e Relative velocity before impact
For Perfectly Plastic Impact:
e=0, i.e. there is no period of restitution.
from equ(viii),
v B' = v 'A = v '

Then from equ(ii)

m A v A + m B v B = (m A + m B )v '

For Perfectly Elastic Impact:
Since e=1,
from equ (viii), v B' v A' = v A v B

from equ (ii), m A (v A v A' ) = m B (v B' v B )

from equ (x)

Hence, for perfectly elastic condition, KE of the system is conserved.
When e, there is loss of KE and this lost energy is converted into heat, sound and other forms of
energy.

(a) x-component of the momentum of the particle 1st is conserved
(i )
i.e. m1v1x = m1v1' x v1 x = v1' x
(b) x-component of the momentum of 2nd particle is conserved

i.e. m2 v 2 x = m2 v 2' x v 2 x = v 2' x
(ii )
From (a) and (b) [v1 x v 2 x ] = v1' x v 2' x
(c) From (a) and (b), the total momentum of the particles in x-direction is also conserved
(iii )
i.e. m1v1x + m2 v 2 x = m1v1' x + m2 v 2' x
(d) y-component of total momentum of the particle is conserved.

i.e. m1v1 y + m2 v 2 y = m1v1' y m2 v 2' y

Remember:
(a) Along the line of contact, momentum of each particle is conserved.
(b) Along the line of impact, the total momentum of particles is conserved.

Velocity at M 1 at pt. B v B1 = 1.56m / s

Now, at the point of impact
Velocity of m1 before impact (v1) = v B1 = 1.56 m/s
( )
Velocity of m1 after impact v1' = v1'

Velocity of m2 before impact (v2) = 0
Velocity of m2 after impact (v 2' ) = v 2'
Now, for direct impact
m1v1 + m2 v 2 = m1v1' + m2 v 2'

or , 0.5 1.56 + 0 = 0.5 v1' + 0.4 v 2'
or , 0.51v1' + 0.4v 2 = 0.78

v 2' v1' = 1.56
Solving equ(i) and (ii), we get:

v1' = 0.173m / s
v 2' = 1.733m / s
Now, using work energy relation to find the distance travelled by the particle
For M1:

System of Particles
6.0 System of Particles:
From Newtons law, equation of motion for each particle is
F = ma F
= ma x , Fy = ma y &
(i )
= ma z
And for Dynamic Equilibrium,
=0,
=0&
(ii )
=0
But, for the system involving a large no. of particles, and if the system as a whole is considered, then
each particle of system is subjected to two types of forces:
(a) External Forces:
Forces exerted by the body outside the system and weight of particle.
(b) Internal Forces: [Vanderwaals Molecular Attraction]
Forces exerted by the other particle of the same system.

If P1 be a particle in a system of particles Pj, Pk, etc and Fi be the resultant of external forces on ith
particle and Fij , Fik be the internal forces on ith particle from jth and kth particle. Then,
The sum total of forces on ith particle sum of external and internal forces acting the particle.
Now, from Newtons 2nd law, the resultant of forces acting on the ith particle is equal to miai.
When all the particles are considered simultaneously the internal forces cancel out and the only
external forces acts on the system. Hence, for the whole system
Q (Fx )ext = max

(F )

then from principle of first moment of inertia (moment due to entire mass = sum of moments due to

M rc = M i ri
From (iii) and (iv), we get
F=

6.2 Linear and Angular Momentum for a system of particles
(1) Linear Momentum for a system of particles:
For a system of particles, applying Newtons 2nd law to any jth particle, we have:
F = M
dv j
j =1
dt
F = M j
(i )
Multiplying (i) by dt and integrating from t1 to t2, we get:
t2
t1
F dt = I ext = M j V j M jV j
j =1
t2 j =1
t1
(ii )
This shows, The impulse of the total external force on the system of particles during a time interval
equals to the sum of the changes of the linear momentum vector of the particles during the same time
interval.
From the concept of mass center,
n
M rc = M j r j
(iii )
j =1
Differentiating with respect to time, we get

n
M Vc = M j V j
(iv )
j =1
From (ii) and (iv),

t2
I ext = F dt = M (Vc ) 2 M (Vc )

t1
(v )
Thus, the total external impulse of a system particles is equal to the change in linear momentum of
the particles, moving with the mass center velocity.

2. Angular Momentum For a system of particles:
Angular Momentum of ith particle,
d
(ri Pi )
dt
& = mi vi ri = d (ri Pi ) = ri mai
dt
For system of particles the angular momentum equation for the
ith particle about origin O is given by:
y
o
= mi vi ri =
n
d
ri Fi + ri Fij =
ri Pi
j =1 dt
(i )
M
fij
rc
r1
o
z
o
o
where, Pi = Linear momentum of particle

For the system of n particles, equn(i) becomes:
n
ri Fi + ri Fij =
i =1
i =1 j =1
j 1
d n
ri Fi = & o
dt i =1
Since, internal force vanishes for all particles, the moment also become zero for all particles. Hence,
n
& o = ri Fi = M o [M o = & o ] (ii )

i =1
Similarly for any other fixed point A,

(iii )
M A = & A
Thus, the total moment of external forces acting on an aggregate of particles about a fixed point A
in an inertial reference equals the rate of change of the angular momentum relative to the same point
A and same inertial reference.
Again, considering center of mass of the aggregate of particles
[ ci position of i w.r.t. CG ]
For ith particle,

(iv )
ri = rc + ci
Now, the angular momentum for aggregate particle about O is then,
[Q p = linear momentum]
o = ri pi
i =1
[(
){ (
or , o = v c + ci mi v&i + & ci
i =1
)}] (v)
pi = mi vi mi v&i
& r& = r& + &
i
c
ci
Carrying out the cross-product and extracting rc from the summation we get:
n
]
) r& + (
o = rc mi r c + rc mi & ci + ci mi r&c + ci mi & ci

i =1
( )
= rc mi r&c + rc mi & ci + mi ci
i =1
i =1
i =1
i =1
ci
mi & ci
We know that the sum of the first moment of mass about the centroid is zero i.e.
m
i
ci
= 0 and hence mi & ci = 0, Then
(
[ = r M r& + ]
) [ m = M ]
[Q =
(v )
o = rc M r&c + ci mi & ci
i =1
cu
mi & ci
where, c be the sum of the angular momentum about the center of mass .Similarly for any point
A, we get:
A = rAC M r&AC + c
(vi )
where, r&AC is the velocity of center of mass relative to fixed point A = V AC

Now, differentiating equn(vi) with respect to time, we get:
& A = rAC M V&AC + & c
or , M A = rAC M a AC + & c
(vii )
[ & A = M A ;V AC = a AC ]
6.3 Motion of mass center of a system of particle:

Center of mass for particles is not the center of mass of system.
We know that (from 6.0) for system of particles
(F )
(F )
(F )
x ext
y ext
z ext
= (ma x )
= (ma y )
(i)
= (ma z )
If mass center of the system of particles is considered with co-ordinates G (x , y , z ), Then we have:
( m)x = (mx )
( m)y = (my )
( m)z = (mz )
i.e. component of moment due to entire mass

= component of sum of the moment due to
individual mass
Differentiating equ(ii) twice with respect to time, we get:
( m)&x& = (m&x&)
( m )a x = (ma x )
( m)&y& = (m&y&)
( m)&z& = (m&z&)
(ii)
( m )a = (ma )
( m )a = (ma )
y
- (iii)
where, a x , a y & a z are the components of acceleration a of G (i.e. center of mass) of the system,
From equ(i) & equ(iii), we have:
(F )
(F )
(F )
x ext
y ext
z ext
= ( m )a x
= ( m )a y
- (iv)
= ( m )a z
which defines the motion of center of mass of system. It shows that the center of a system of
particles move as if the entire mass of the system and all the external forces were concentrated at that
point G.
6.4
Conservation of Momentum:
We know that the final momentum of the particle is obtained by adding vectorically its initial
momentum and the impulse of the force F during the time interval considered i.e.

(i )
mv1 + I mp (1 2 ) = mv 2
Considering system of particles,
mv + I
1
mp (1 2 )
= mv 2 (ii )
since the internal forces vanish considering the all particles only impulse due to external force exists
i.e.
mv + (I
1
mp (1 2 ) ext
(iii )
= mv 2
When the impulse of external forces is zero, then equ(iii) becomes,
mv = mv
1
(iv)
Thus, when the sum of the impulses of the external forces acting on a system of particles is zero, the
total momentum of the system remains constant.
Again, considering mass center G ( x , y ) of the system, we have,
( m)x = (mx )
( m)y = (my )
- (v)
Differentiating equ(v) with respect to time, we get:
( m)v = (mv )
( m)v = (mv )
x
( )
( m )v = mv
(vi)
We have [from 6.3]

v = v v1 = v1 & v 2 = v 2
Now from equ(iv) we get:

v1 = v 2 (vii )
Thus, When the sum of impulses of the external forces acting on a system of particles is zero, then
mass center of the system moves with a constant velocity v.
6.4 Kinetic Energy of a system of particles:
Considering a system of particles, the total K.E. relative to xyz axes of system of n particles
can be obtained as
y
1
KE = mi vi2
i =1 2
(i )
(ii )
Again, ri = rc + ci
Differentiating equ(ii) with respect to time, we get,

(iii )
vi = vc + ci
From (i) & (iii)

KE = mi v c + & ci
i =1 2

[Q (a + b)(. a + b) = a

But,

m &
and
i =1
ci
=0
So, we get,
KE =

1 n
Mvc2 + mi & ci2
2
2 i =1
Hence, KE of the system of particles = KE of the total mass moving with the mass center velocity +
sum of the KE of individual particles having velocity relative to the center of mass.
6.5 Work-Energy Principle: Conservation of energy for a system of particles:
Work of the force F exerted on the particle during the displacement = change in KE
i.e.
u12 = t 2 t1
(i )
For the entire system,

U 1 2 = T2 T1 (ii )
Similarly work of the conservative force is independent of path followed and is equal to minus of the
change in potential energy.
i.e.
u12 = (v 2 v1 )
(iii )
For the entire system,
U 1 2 = (V2 V1 ) = V1 V2
(iv )
From (i) & (iv), we get

V1 V2 = T2 T1
T1 + V1 = T2 + V2
(v )
Thus for the particle moving under the conservative force, the sum of KE and PE remains constant.
KE + PE = Total Energy (E) = constant
E1 = E2 Hence, Energy is conserved.
Principle of Impulse and Momentum for a system of particles:
The angular momentum of particle about origin O = moment of the first momentum of
particle about the origin.
Y
6.7
Qho = mv y x mv x y (+ )
mvy
Then for the total system of particle
mv
H o = m(xv y yv x )
mvy
Differentiating with respect to time, we get,
( )
H& o = M o

[Pr oved in 6.22 equ

where, M o ext is the moment of external force acting on the system.

for particles but equivalent for rigid body).
When there is no external forces,
(System momenta)1 = (System momenta)2
Types of system of particles:
(a) Constant System of Particles:
The system which neither gain nor lose particles during their motion are called the constant
system of particles. e.g. Rigid bodies
(b) Variable System of Particles:
The system which are continuously gaining or losing particles or doing both at the same time
are called variable system of particles. e.g. Hydraulic turbines, Rockets, etc.

Steady Stream of Particles with variable mass

In steady stream of particles the flow of particles at any point remains constant. [All the above

Let us consider a steady stream of particle(s) such as stream of water diverted by a fixed vane
or a flow of air through blower.

In this system it continuously gains particles flowing in and looses an equal no. of particles
flowing out, so this type of variable system of particles is reduced to auxiliary constant system of
particles, which remains constant for a short time t
If m amount of mass enters the system s, at time t . Then,
The momentum of the particles entering the system = (m )v A
The momentum of the particles leaving the system = (m )v B
And, the impulses of the forces exerted on s =
F .dt
and
m v
i i
(momentum for each particles)
cancels from both sides.

Hence, we may conclude that,
The system formed by the momentum (m )v A of the particles entering the system s in the time
t and impulses of the forces exerted on s during that time is equipollent to momentum of
(m )v B of the particles leaving s in the same time

i.e. (m )v A + F t = (m )v B (i )

Dividing both sides by t and taking limit, we get

This equation gives the resultant of the forces exerted by the vane on the stream. This principle is
applicable to the following mass as:

Kinematics of Rigid Bodies
7.1 Introduction:
Particle:
It is a material body which is so small that its dimension can be treated as negligible in
comparison to other dimensions involved.
Rigid bodies:
It is combination of two or more particles, which are connected in such a way that they do not
change their relative positions due to application of external forces.
The various points or particles in rigid bodies may have different motions but their motion are
so related such that their relative position remains unchanged.
In reality all the rigid bodies deform in application of external forces but in negligible amount.
Translation:
A motion is said to be translation if any straight line drawn on the body obeys the same
direction. If all the particles move parallely along straight line, it is said to be rectilinear translation
and if the path are curved, the motion is said to be curvilinear translation.
7.2
If rA and rB be the displacement vectors of the particle A & B during t , then for translation
rA rB
=
v A = v B (i )
t
t
Similarly,
v A v B
=
a A = aB
(ii )
t
t
Thus, for any body in translation, all the points have the same velocity and acceleration at any given
instant.
For curvilinear translation, there is change in direction and magnitude of velocity and acceleration at
every instant. For rectilinear translation velocity and acceleration follow same direction during entire
motion.
7.2 Rotation:
A motion is said to be rotation when the particles in the rigid bodies (slab) moves in concentric
circles, with common fixed center O.
If the particle in the slab moves d at time dt, then the angular velocity is given by:

Absolute and Relative velocity in plane motion

Absolute motion means motion with respect to fixed axes and relative motion means motion of
one with respect to other axes in motion.
For any plane motion of rigid body, when replaced by sum of translation and rotation about A,
then absolute velocity of particle B is given by:
VB = V A + VB A
(i )
where, VA = absolute velocity of A is translation of slab with A

VB/A = relative velocity B with respect to A i.e. rotation of slab measured with respect to

Instantaneous Center of Rotation

For any general plane motion, there exist a center with reference to which the velocities of all
the particles in the rigid body are same at any instant of time. This center is called as instantaneous
center of rotation and the axis is called instantaneous axis of rotation.

Acceleration of various particle on the slab cannot be determined by this method. Hence, it is
used to compute only the velocity of particles at any instant of time.

7.7 Absolute and Relative Frame: Coriolis Acceleration in plane motion
Definition:
A particle with in a system of rigid body may have motion with respect to a moving frame
inside the body. In such case an additional comp. of acceleration of the particle with respect to the
moving frame comes into the existence, this complementary acceleration in case of moving frame is
called coriolis acceleration, ' a c ' which is perpendicular to the direction of relative velocity of particle
with respect to frame.

Calculation:
Consider the motion of particle P, which moves along a path on a slab s. The slab rotates
along a fixed point O. Motion of P is given by r & with respect to fixed axis (XOY axis) and by r
& , with respect to axis attached to slab s and rotating with it. It is required to determine the
absolute motion of P and relative motion of P with respect to S.
We know from radial and transverse component of velocity
(V ) = r&
(V ) = r& = r & + &

Here, p is position with respect to x-y axis

p' is position with respect to x'y' axis.

Case I:
When P is fixed on slab s and the slab allowed to rotate with
respect to XOY, then P coincides with P'
V p = V p' ,
r& = 0

Case-II:
When slab is fixed and P is allowed to move, then
Vp = Vp s

Now, the total velocity is given by:

Calculating the acceleration of point p when the slab is rotates as P also moves with respect to
slab it is observed that, instead of being
a p = a p ' + a p / s , we get
a p = a p ' + a p / s + ac ,
where a c has the vector component as

The coriolis acceleration a c is thus a vector perpendicular to the relative velocity V p / s and of
magnitude to z. V p / s and direction of a c is perpendicular to the vector
V p/s .

the most general motion of a rigid body is equivalent to the sum of a translation (in which all
particles of the body have the same velocity and acceleration) and of a motion in which particle A
is assumed to be fixed.
i.e. The motion of any particle B with respect to A would be characterized by the same vectors
& . Thus & are independent of the choice of reference point but the moving frame should
remain parallel to the fixed frame of reference.

Plane Motion of Rigid Bodies
Forces, Moments & Acceleration
8.1
Considering a rigid body acted upon by several external forces, F1 , F2 , F3 , etc. Let, the rigid
body be made of a large number of particles of mass mig = (i = 1,2.....n ) and G be the mass center of
the rigid body whose motion can be considered with respect to xyz axis.
Then, from Newtons 2nd law:
F = ma
- (i)
where, m = Total mass of the body
a = Acceleration of the CG G
F = Sum of applied force on the body

Again from Angular-Momentum Theorem,
where,
M
M
(ii )
= H& G
= Sum of the moment of forces about G
H& G = Rate of change of angular momentum about G.
The equations of motion (i) and (ii) express that the system of external forces is equivalent to the
system consisting of vector m a attached at G and couple of moment H& G .
8.2
Angular Momentum of Rigid body in plane motion:
Considering a rigid slab consisting of a large number of particles P1 of mass mi be in plane

motion. The angular momentum H G of the slab about its mass center G may be computed as:
n
H G = ri' mi vi'
i =1
(i )
where, ri' and mi vi' be the position vector and linear momentum of Pi about the G with respect to
x'y' frame.
Again,
vi' = ri'
H G = ri' ri mi
i =1
= ri'2 mi
i =1
(ii ) ri'2 mi = I ; motion about G perpendicualr to slab

i =1
Differentiating equ(ii) with respect to time, we get:

HG = I
H& G = I & = I
(iii )
H& G = I
Thus the rate of change of the angular momentum of the slab is equal to I and in perpendicular to
the direction of the slab.
8.3 Plane motion of a Rigid body : DAlembats Principle:
Statement:
For a rigid body of mass m moving under the action of several forces F1 , F2 , F3 , etc , the
external forces acting on the rigid body are equivalent to the effective forces of the various particles
forming the body.
Considering mass center G of the slab as reference point, we have:
(F )
(F )
x eff
= (m )a x
y eff
= (m )a y
(i)
Again, we have:
(m)a
(m)a
x
y
= (m )a x
(ii)
= (m )a y
where, a x and a y are components of a at G.
m = Total mass of the slab = M

Then from equations (i) and (ii), we have:
(F )
(F ))
x eff
eff
= Ma x
(iii)
= Ma y
The total acceleration a of any given particle P of the slab is equal to
()
Total acceleration a = Linear acceleration of G (a ) + Angular acceleration of P w.r.t. x'y' a'
a = a + a'
a = a + a n' en + at' et
(iv )
Thus, effective force is also resolved into two parts:
eff
= ma = ma + ma n en + mat et
i.e. effective force = force due to translation about G + Force due to rotation about G
Considering the case of Translation:
During translation, all the particles in the body moves along G such that total moment of force
about the G is zero [because mat
and ma x = 0]
For Translation,
(M )
or , H&
G eff
=0
eff
=0
F eff = ma
(v )
Considering the case of rotation:


For rotation ma and ma are associated with the slab, Now
'
x
'
t
Moment of ma x' about G = 0 and a x' is along G
Moment of mat' about G = r ' (m )at'

Again, we have
at' = r ' ,
Now considering all the particles of slab under rotation
(M
G eff
= r ' (m )r ' = r ' 2 m = I
For rotation motion,
&
= (M G )eff = I
For plane motion:

For General Plane Motion, the system of effective forces can be replaced by an equivalent force
coupe system consisting of m a force at G and couple of I in the directon of along G

Then The DAlemberts Principle becomes,
The external forces acting on the body are equivalent to a force-couple system consisting of a
vector m a attached to the mass center G of the body and a couple I .
Then equation of motion becomes,
F
F
M
= Ma x
= Ma y
G
(x)
= I
Note:
For translation, effective force reduces to m a . For rotation, effective force reduces to I and for
the plane motion effective force is the sum of the both.
Application of Rigid body motion in plane:
8.3
()
For a rigid body in plane motion, there exists a fundamental relation between the forces F
()
()
acting on the body, the acceleration of its mass center a and the angular acceleration of the
body.
F = ma x + ma y + I
()
()
This relation may be used to determine the acceleration a and angular acceleration
produced by a given system of forces acting on a rigid body, or to determine the forces which
produce a given motion of the rigid body.
The equation may be separated as:
Fx = ma x
Fy = m a y
= I
The equation is solved to get the unknown quantity of motion.

It gives the better understanding of problem, easy to draw free body diagrams, develop and
solve equations for the 3-D and 2-D motions.
Constrained Motion in the Plane:

The plane motion, where each bodies move with definite relation with the other bodies is called
constraint motion. For example: rotation of crank is related with translation of piston and oscillation
of connecting rod in an engine.
8.5
In such cases, the definite relationship exists between mass center, acceleration a and angular
acceleration between the several bodies, under constrained motion.
Solution for such motion is obtained in two steps:
(i)
Kinetic Analysis a , , I , M of the problem
(ii)
Use of DAlemberts Principle or Dynamic Equilibrium Method to solve the unknown

quantity.
When a mechanism consists of several moving parts, each moving part is considered separately
and the problem is solved.
Two particular cases of constrained motion are:
(i) Non-centroidal rotation:
Rigid body is constrained to rotate about a fixed axis which does not pass through main
center.
The mass center G of the body moves along a circle of radius r centered at the point O.
i.e. = .0
If = const
at = r = 0, then a = a x i.e. normal component only and the force generated thus is called
centrifugal force.
Rolling Motion:
If the disk is constrained to roll without sliding the acceleration of its mass center G and its
angular acceleration are dependent.
Here,
x = r
(i )
Differentiating w.r.t time, we get
&x& = a = r
(ii )
If the mass center G does not coincide with its geometric center O , the relation (ii) does not hold
true.
Then, the relation becomes
a o = r (iii ), where a o = acceleration of the geometric center
Then,
( ) ( )
a = aG = ao + a G / O = a o + a G / O t + a G / O
where,
a o = r , (aG / O )t = (OG ) and
(aG / O )n = (OG ) 2

Plane Motion of Rigid Bodies
Energy and Momentum Method
9.1
Principle of Work and Energy for a Rigid Body

For a rigid body of mass m, P be a particle of the body with mass m moving with
velocity v. Then,
KE of the particle = ( m )v2
If the particle moves from position P1 to P2, then from the principle of work and energy, the
work done is calculated as:
U 12 = Change in KE = T2 T1
T1 + U 1 2 = T2
where,
T1 KE at P1
T2 KE at P2
Considering all the particles in a system, we have:

T1 + U 1 2 = T2
9.2
Work of Force acting on the Rigid Body
The work of force F during the displacement from its position s1 to s 2 is:
U 1 2 =
s2
s1
(F cos )ds
(i )
where, F is magnitude of force F and is the angle between the force and the direction of motion.
If F and F' are two forces turning a couple, then moment of couple is:
M = F .r
Under the application of external forces (F & F'), the displacement of points A & B to A'B", the
motion may be divided into two parts:
(a) Point A & B undergo equal displacement dr1 to point A' & B'.
(b) Point A' remains fixed and B' moves to B" with the displacement dr2 equal to rd.
During the first part of motion, work due to force F = Work due to F' and cancels out due to
opposite in sign.
During the second part of motion, work done is given by:
du = F .dr2 = Frd
du = Md
[Q M
= rd ]
2
Total work done is U 1 2 = Md

9.3 Kinetic Energy for a system:

(A) Kinetic Energy in Translation:
For a rigid body in translation, all the particles have the same velocity as of CG.
i.e. v = v
KE of the entire body in Translation is given as:

n
T =
i =1
n
1
(mi )v 2 = 1 (mi )v 2
2
2 i =1

Mv 2

(B) Kinetic Energy in Rotation:
Considering a rigid body rotating about fixed axis and point O, then
1

2
KE = (m )v 2 = (m )(r ) = 2 r 2 m
2
2
2
1
KE = I o 2
Q r 2 m = M.O.I. of the body about the axis of rotation = I o
2
This formula is valid for any axis of rotation.
T =
(C) Kinetic Energy in Plane Motion:

For a body in plane motion, at any given instant, the velocities of all the particles of the body are
same as if the body were rotating about the instantaneous axis of rotation, and about the
instantaneous center of rotation. Then the kinetic energy is
1
T = I c 2
(i )
2
where,
I c = M.O.I. of the body about the instantaneous axis
= Angular velocity at the instant considered.

Now, from Parallel axis Theorem
I C = I + mr 2
where,
I = M.O.I. of the body about a centroidal axis perpendicular to the reference plane
r = Distance from ' C' to mass center ' G'
Then,
1

mr 2 + I 2 = m(r ) + I 2

or , T = mv 2 + I 2
(ii ) [Q r = v = velocity of G ]

So, the total KE of rigid body in plane motion is the sum of KE of body due to Translation about CG
T=

mv and KE of body due Rotation about CG I .

9.4 Conservative and Non-Conservative System:

A system is said to be conservative if the work done by the system is independent of the path
followed but depends upon the initial and final position of it. Examples are KE, PE, gravity, etc.
In the non-conservative system, work done depends upon the path followed by the system.
Examples are friction, elastic, etc.

The principle of conservation of energy is valid for the conservative force only. When a rigid
body or a system of rigid bodies move under the action of conservative forces, then the principle of
work and energy may be expressed as:
T1 + V1 = T2 + V2
i.e. The sum of the KE and PE of the system remains constant.

Work-Energy Applications:
Considering a rod AB of length L and mass m whose extremities are connected to blocks of
negligible mass sliding along horizontal and vertical tracks as shown in figure.
If the initial velocity of the rod is zero and datum as shown is considered, then
Q Initial KE (T1) = 0
9.5
Initial PE (V1) = 0
If the rod moves by an angle , the CG of the rod moves by
L sin
vertically downwards from its
2
initial position.

= mgL sin

Now, for the final position, the instantaneous center of rotation is located at C and also we have

Then, V2 = CG = L = L

Note: DAlemberts Principle should be used to find the reactions at the sliders.
9.6
Impulse and Momentum for System of Rigid Bodies

The principle of Impulse and Momentum can be applied to the system of rigid bodies as well.
We know that,
System Momentum-1 + System External Impulse 1 2 = System Momentum-2
IF
L = mi vi = sum of momentum of all particles

i =1
or, L = mv
n
And, H G = ri' mi vi = sum of moment of momentum of all particles

i =1
or, H G = I
Then,
Then, we have :
The fig(iii) gives three equation of motion, as
(mv1 )x + 1 (Fdt )x = (mv 2 )x
(i )
(mv1 ) y + 1 (Fdt ) y = (mv2 ) y
(ii )
2
2
I 1 + Fdt xx + Fdt y = I z

y
1
x
(iii )
where, x & y are perpendicular distances of impulse from x and y axis

9.7
Conservation of Angular and Linear Momentum:

When no external forces acts on a rigid body, the impulses of the external forces are zero and
the system of momentum at time t1 is equal to system of momentum at time t2.
Thus, total linear momentum is conserved in any direction and angular momentum is conserved
about any point.
i.e. if
ext
=0
mv1 = mv 2 &
(H o )1 = (H o )2
In some cases as when the line of action of all external forces pass through G or when sum of the
angular impulses of the external forces about G is zero, then
9.8 Impulsive Motion and Eccentric Impact:
Remember : The definition of Impulsive Force and Impulsive motion . Eccentric impact
Considering two bodies which collide under the eccentric impact. Let VA and VB be the
velocities before impact of the points of contact A and B. Under the impact, the two bodies will
deform and at the end of period of deformation,
component of UA = Component of UB, along the line of impact.
[During deformation both bodies move with same velocity.]
At the end of period of restitution, V A' and VB' be the velocities of A and B as shown, Assuming
the bodies are frictionless. Then, component of restitution is given by:
where,
Rdt
e=
Pdt = magnitude of impulse during the period of deformation
(i )
Pdt
Rdt = magnitude of impulse after the period of deformation
The relative velocities of two particles before and after impact along the line of impact is related as:
(V ) (V ) = e[(V ) (V ) ]

Applying Impulse-Momentum Equation for the particle A

Let v and u be the velocities of mass center at the beginning and at the end of the period of
deformation. and 1 be the angular velocities at the same instant.
Then along the line of impact the component of momentum and impulse becomes:
And,
mv n Pdt = mu n
I r Pdt = I 1
(iii )
(iv )
Pdt = mv mu
Pdt = I I

where r is the perpendicular distance from G to line of impact.

Similarly, considering for the period of restitution:
mv x Rdt = mv x'
(v )
I 1 r Rdt = I '
(vii)
Rdt = mv
Rdt = I
mv x'
Iw'
where, v ' and ' represent the velocity of mass center and angular velocity of body after impact.
From (i), (iii) & (v), we get:
e=

Similarly, from equ(i), (iv) and (vi), we get:

Again,
Multiplying the numerator and denominator of equ(viii) and adding respectively to the numerator

2. A 2 kg sphere moving horizontally to the right with an initial velocity of 5 m/s strikes the lower
end of an 8 kg rigid rod AB. The rod is suspended from a hinge at A and is initially at rest. Knowing
that the co-efficient of restitution between the rod and sphere is 0.80, determine the angular velocity

(System Momentum)1 + (System External Impulse)1-2 = (System Momentum)2
Let, VR and VR' be the initial and final velocity of Rod CG, and ' be the angular velocities of

Mechanical Vibrations
10.1.1 Introduction
A mechanical vibration is the motion of a particle or a body which oscillates about a position of
equilibrium. When a system is displaced from a position of stable equilibrium, it tends to return
to its initial position under the action of restoring force or elastic force.
The time interval required for the system to complete a full cycle of motion is called period of
The number of cycles per unit time is called frequency(f).
The maximum displacement from mean position is called as amplitude of the vibration (A).

Types of Vibrations:

Effect of friction is considered ; the vibration slowly decreases and comes to
