 Introduction and Course Overview
Engineering Mechanics: is a branch of the
physical sciences that is concerned with
the state of rest or motion of bodies
subjected to the action of forces

Dynamics: The study of motions.

Statics: The study of
1. Kinematics: concerned with the geometric
bodies in equilibrium
aspects of motions: s (displacement),v
(velocity), and a(acceleration). ( time-
dependent)
2. Kinetics: Analysis of the forces that cause the
motion.

 Rectilinear Kinematics: Continuous
Motion
• Rectilinear: straight line path

• Rectilinear Kinematics: The kinematics of a particle is characterized by

specifying, at any given instant, the particle's position, velocity, and
acceleration.
 Position and Displacement
• The straight-line path of a particle will
be defined using a single coordinate
axis s
• The origin 0 on the path is a fixed
point, and from this point the position
coordinate s is used to specify the
location of the particle at any given
instant.

• The displacement of the particle is

defined as the change in its position
∆𝑠 = 𝑆 ′ − 𝑆
 Velocity and Acceleration
• If the particle moves through a • The term "average speed" is defined as
displacement ∆s during the time interval ∆t, the total distance traveled by a particle,
then the average velocity is ST, divided by the elapsed time
∆𝑠 𝑆𝑇
𝒗𝑎𝑣𝑔 = (𝑣𝑠𝑝 )𝑎𝑣𝑔 =
∆𝑡 ∆𝑡
• If we take smaller and smaller values of ∆t, the • Average acceleration is defined as
magnitude of ∆s becomes smaller and smaller.
Consequently, the instantaneous velocity is ∆𝑣

𝑑𝒔 ∆𝑡

• The magnitude of the velocity is known as the
speed, and it is generally expressed in units of 𝑑𝒗 𝑑2 𝒔

Example (2)
• A small projectile is fired vertically downward into a fluid medium with an initial
velocity of 60 m/s. Due to the drag resistance of the fluid the projectile
experiences a deceleration of a = (- 0. 4v ^3) m/s^2 , where v is in m/s. Determine
the projectile's velocity and position 4 s after it is fired.

Example (3)
During a test a rocket travels upward at 75 m/s, and when it is 40 m
from the ground its engine fails. Determine the maximum height SB
reached by the rocket and its speed just before it hits the ground.
While in motion the rocket is subjected to a constant downward
acceleration of 9.81 m/s^2 due to gravity. Neglect the effect of air
resistance.
