Chapter 10 Method of Virtual Work
10.1 Introduction
| ‘equations of equilibrium
} consider a particle or a rigid body, if it is given an arbitrary displacement
from the position of equilibrium, the total work done of the external forces
‘method of virtual work may extend to the concept of potential energy
10.2 Work of a Force
consider a particle which moves from 4 to 4”
dr is called the displacement of the particle
F is the force acting on the particle
dU = Fede = Fdscosa
where |dr| = ds |FI=F
work is a scalar quantity, has a magnitude and sign, but no direction
~ the unit OF workeis > —Naw =F Gouley ——
Feds (a=0°) same direction
dU = Fdscosa =|0 (a= 90°) perpendicular
-Fds a
180°) opposite directionforce acting on a fixed point (reactions at
frictionless pin), it is no work done
forces acting in the direction perpendicular to
displacement, itis no work done
[if the roller has friction with surface, then the
fiction force has work done}
the sum of work done by intemal forces is,
zero
F iis the force acting on AC exerted by BC,
- F is the force acting on BC exerted by AC
F and - F has same magnitude but opposite
Q=0
[what happen when tan 0 <1, Q < 02, NO, inthis case, F < yN]

consider a force F acting on a particle
