Section 14.1 - The Work of a Force
 A force F does work on a particle only when it undergoes a

displacement in the direction of the force
 The displacement is dr = r’ – r
 If the angle between the tails of dr and F is θ, then the

work dU done by F is a scalar quantity
dU = F ds cos θ
dU = F·dr

Work of a Variable Force

 When particle undergoes a finite displacement along its
path from r1 to r2 or s1 to s2, the work is determined by
integration
 If F is expressed as a function of position,
F = F(s),
r2 s2
U1 2   F .dr   F cos ds
r1 s1

Work of a Weight
 Consider a particle which moves up along the path s from
s1 to position s2
 At an intermediate point, the displacement dr = dxi +dyj +

dzk
 Since W = -Wj
r2 ~
U1 2   F .dr   (W~j ).(dx~
i  dy~j  dzk )
r1

  Wdy  W ( y2  y1 )
y1
U1 2  Wy

Work of a Spring Force

 Magnitude of force in a linear elastic spring when the spring
is displaced a distance s from its unstretched position is Fs
= ks
 When elongated or compressed from s1 to s2, the work
done on the spring by Fs is positive, since force and
displacement are in the same direction
s2 s2
U1 2   Fs ds   ks ds
s1 s1
1 2 1 2
 ks2  ks1
2 2


 If a particle (or body) is attached to spring, then the force Fs
exerted on the particle is opposite to that exerted on the
spring. Therefore, the force will do negative work on the

particle when the particle is moving
1 2 1 2
U1 2  ( ks2  ks1 )
2 2


 The constant towing force T does positive work of
UT  T cos s
 The weight does negative work of
UW   W sin   s
 Normal force N does no work

Example14.1
The 10-kg block rest on a smooth incline. If the spring is

originally stretched 0.5 m, determine the total work done by all
forces acting on the block when a horizontal force P = 400 N
pushes the block up the plane s = 2 m.

Example14.1
Solution
Horizontal Force P
Since force is constant, the work is

U P  400 N 2m cos 30 

 692.8 J
Spring Force Fs
Spring is stretched to its final position
s2 = 0.5 + 2 = 2.5 m
Work is negative as force Fs and displacement are in opposite
directions.

Example14.1
Solution
Spring Force Fs
The work of Fs is thus

U s    (30 N / M )(2.5m)  (30 N / M )(0.5m) 2   90 J

2 2 
Weight W
Weight is in the opposite direction to its vertical displacement,
the work is negative
UW  98.1N (2m sin 30 )  98.1J

Example14.1
Solution
Normal Force NB
This force does no work since it is always perpendicular to the
displacement.
Total Work
The work of all the forces when the block is displaced 2 m is
thus
UT  692.8  90  98.1  505J

Section 14.2 - Principle of Work and Energy
 Consider a particle P located on the path as measured from

an inertial coordinate system (at the instant considered)
 Eq. of motion for the particle in the tangential direction,
∑Ft = mat (at = vdv/ds)
 s1 Ft ds  v1 mv dv
s2 v2
 s1
s2 1 1
Ft ds  mv22  mv12
2 2
 For principle of work and energy for the particle, the result
may be written (  Ft   F cos  )
U12
1 2 1 2
 mv2  mv1
2 2
 It is often also expressed as (T is the kinetic energy)
T1  U12  T2
 The particle’s initial kinetic energy plus the work done by all
the forces acting on the particle as it moves from initial to
its final position is equal to the particle’s final kinetic energy

Procedures for Analysis

Work (Free-Body Diagram)
 Establish the initial coordinate system and FBD
Principle of Work and Energy

 Apply the principle of work and energy
T1  U12  T2
 Kinetic energy at initial and final points is positive since it

involves the speed squared
T  mv 1

 Work is always positive when the force

component is in the same direction
 Forces that are functions of displacement must
be integrated to obtain the work
 The work of a weight is the product of the weight
magnitude and the vertical displacement
 The work of the spring is in the form of
1 2
U s  ks

 Principle of work and energy can be extended to include a
system of n particles isolated within an enclosed region of
space

Work of Friction Caused by Sliding
 If the applied force P just balances the resultant frictional
force μkN, then due to equilibrium a constant velocity v is
maintained

 Sliding motion will generate heat and create vibration and

rough surface

Example14.2
The 17.5-kN automobile is traveling down the 10° inclined road

at a speed of 6 m/s. if the driver jams on the brakes, causing
his wheels to lock, determine how far s his tires skid on the
road. The coefficient of the kinetic friction between the wheels

and the road is μk = 0.5

Example14.4
The platform P is tied down so that the 0.4-m long cords keep
a 1-m long spring compressed 0.6-m when nothing is on the
platform. If a 2-kg block is placed on the platform and released
from rest after the platform is pushed down 0.1-m, determine

the max height h the block rises in the air, measure from the
ground.

Section 14.4 - Power and Efficiency
Power
 Defined as the amount of work performed per unit of time
 Power generated by a machine or engine that performs an

amount of work dU within a time interval dt is
dU
P
dt
 When dU is expressed by dU = F.dr, we have

P = F.v
 SI unit for power is watt (W) and defined as
1 W = 1 J/s = 1 N.m/s

Efficiency
 Defined as the ratio of useful output power produced by the
machine to input of power supplied to the machine
power output

power input
 If energy applied to the machine
occurs during the same time
interval at which it is drawn
energy output

energy input


The power supplied to a body can be computed using the
following procedure.
 Determine the external force F acting on the body which

causes motion
 If the body is accelerating, apply
∑F = ma to determine F
 Once F and v is found, power can
be find with P = F.V
 Power may also be found by
Pavg  U / t or P  dU / dt

Example14.8
The motor M of the hoist operates with an efficiency of ε =

0.85. Determine the power that must be supplied to the motor
to lift the 375-N crate C at the instant point P on the cable has
an acceleration of 1.2m/s2, and a velocity of 0.6 m/s.

Section 14.5 - Conservative Forces and Potential
Energy
Conservative Force
 Defined by the work done in moving a particle from one
point to another that is independent of the path followed by
the particle The weight of a particle and the force of an

elastic spring are two examples of conservative forces
Energy
 Energy is defined as the capacity for doing work
 Kinetic energy is associated with the motion of the particle
 When energy comes from the position of the particle, it is
called potential energy and it is a measure of the amount of
work a conservative force will do when it moves from a
given position to the datum

Energy
Gravitational Potential Energy
 If a particle is located a distance y above a
datum, the weight W has positive
gravitational potential energy Vg

 If a particle is located a distance y below a
datum, Vg is then negative
 In general, if y is positive upward,

gravitational potential energy
of the particle of weight W is
Vg  Wy
Energy
Elastic Potential Energy
 When an elastic spring is elongated or compressed from its
unstretched position, the elastic potential energy is
1 2
Ve   ks
2
 Ve is always positive

Energy
Potential Function
 When particle subjected to both gravitational and elastic
forces, the potential energy is
V  Vg  Ve
 If particle moves from s1 to a lower position s2, the work

done is
U1 2  V1  V2  (Ws1 + 12 ks12 )  (Ws 2 + 12 ks22 )

 W s2  s1   12 ks22  12 ks12 

Section 14.6 - Conservation of Energy
 Work done by the conservative forces can be written in

terms of the difference in their potential energies
 If only conservative forces are applied to the body when
moving from state to state, we have
T1  V1  T2  V2
 This is called conservation of mechanical energy or
conservation of energy

System of Particles
 If a system of particles is subjected only to conservative
forces,
T1  V1  T2  V2

 Sum of the particle’s initial kinetic and potential energies is
equal to the sum of the particle’s final kinetic and potential
energies
T  V  const


Potential Energy
 Draw 2 diagrams showing particle’s initial and final points

along the path
 When particle is in vertical displacement, establish the fixed
horizontal datum to measure the particle’s gravitational
potential energy
1 2
 Recall Vg = Wy and Ve  ks is always positive
2


Conservation of Energy
 Apply the equation
T1  V1  T2  V2
 When determining the kinetic energy, speed v must be
measured from an inertial reference frame

The gantry structure is used to test the response of an airplane

during a clash. The plane of mass 8-Mg is hoisted back until θ

is at rest. Determine the speed of the plane just before

clashing into the ground, θ = 15°. Also, what is the maximum
tension developed in the supporting cable during the motion?
