Rigid Body - a definite amount of matter the parts of which are fixed in position relative
to each other.
Force - maybe defined as that which changes, or tends to change the state of motion
of a body.
Characteristics of a Force - are (1) its magnitude, (2) the position of its line of action,
and (3) the direction (or sense) in which the force acts
along its line of action.
Principle of transmissibility of a force states that the external effect of a force on a
body is the same for all points of application along its line
of action, i.e., it is independent of the point of application.
Unit of Force

Force System is any arrangement where two or more forces act on a body or on group of related bodies.
Coplanar is when the lines of action of all the forces in a force system lie in one plane.
Non-Coplanar is when the lines of action of all the forces in a force system lie in two or more planes.
Classification of force system according to their lines of action:

Concurrent force system is where the forces passes through a common point of intersection.
Parallel force system are forces that will never intersect at any point no matter how far their lines of
action are extended.
Non-Concurrent force system are forces that neither are parallel nor intersect in a common point.
Axioms of Mechanics
1) The Parallelogram Law: The resultant of two forces is the diagonal of the parallelogram formed
on the vectors of these forces.
2) Two forces are in equilibrium only when equal in magnitude, opposite in direction, and
collinear in action.
3) A set of forces in equilibrium may be added to any system of forces without changing the
effect of the original system.
4) Action and reaction forces are equal but oppositely directed.

Scalar and Vector Quantities:

Scalars quantities that possess magnitude only and can be added arithmetically.
Vectors quantities that possess direction as well as magnitude which can be combined
only by geometric addition.

Solution of Problems:
1) Interpret the problem statement and identify the requirement
2) Construct or draw a neat diagram of the quantities involved, either a free-hand sketch
or by using straight edge.
3) State as concisely as possible what data are given and what information is required.
4) Write out the equation you intend to use before substituting given values in it.
Dimensional Checks:
The equations used in the computations must be dimensionally homogeneous; that is,
the units on each side of the equation must be of the same dimensional form.
Conversion of Units:
Numerical Accuracy:
- Significant figures
- Solution of Quadratic Equation
- Trigonometric Functions

Review of some Trigonometric Functions and Identities
a) cos2 + sin2 = 1
cos2 + sin2 1
y =
cos2 cos2

cos2 sin2 = 1
x cos2 + cos2 cos2
y
R = sin 1 + tan2 = sec2

cos2 sin2 1
x2 + y2 = R2 Pythagorean sin2 + sin2 = sin2
Theorem
cot2 + 1 = csc2
cos2 + sin2 = 1

Review of some Trigonometric Functions and Identities
sin( - ) = - sin ; cos( - ) = cos; tan( - ) = - tan

sin2 = - cos2; cos2 = + cos2
sin 2 = 2 sin cos
cos 2 = cos2 - sin2 = 1 2 sin2 = 2 cos2 - 1
sin ( ) = sincos cossin
cos ( ) = coscos + sinsin
tan tan
tan () =
1 + tan tan
