the effects of forces on rigid bodies Statics Consider the effects and distribution of forces on rigid bodies Dynamics consider the motion of rigid bodies caused by the forces acting on them. It deals with objects or structures with a non-zero acceleration. Force that which changes , or tend to change the state of motion of body.

position of its line of action (3) the direction or sense Classification of Force Systems 1. Coplanar Force System the line of action of all forces lie on one plane 2. Non-Coplanar (Space Systems of Forces) the line of action of all forces do not lie on a same plane 3. Concurrent forces lines of forces pass trough a common point 4. Non-concurrent 5. Parallel Force System
The Parallelogram Law the resultant of two forces is the diagonal 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 if the original system 4. Action and reaction forces are equal but oppositely directed,

EQUILIBRIUM OF FORCE SYSTEMS
condition where the resultant of a system of forces is zero. A body is said to be in equilibrium when the force system acting upon it has zero resultant. The physical meaning of equilibrium, as applied to a body, is that the body either is at rest or moving in a straight line with constant velocity

ANALYSIS OF STRUCTURES
1. Pin-connected trusses the internal force in a bar is directed along the axis of the frames 2. Pin-connected frames the members are subjected to bending action
fastened together in such a way to resist change in shape: it is a rigid structure Trusses are so constructed that all applied loads act at the ends of the members. Such members held in equilibrium by only two forces are called two-force members. Members which are stretched are said to be in tension, while those that are shortened are said to be in compression.
Method of Joints analysing trusses by applying the principles of equilibrium to the concurrent force systems
2. Method of Sections the principles of equilibrium of non-concurrent force systems are applied.
Using the method of sections, determine the force on members BD,CD, & CE of the truss shown on below figure.

FRICTION
Chapter V. Friction
Friction may be defined as the contact
resistance exerted by one body upon a second body when the second body moves or tends to move past first body. It is a retarding force always acting opposite to the motion or the tendency to.

FORCE SYSTEMS IN SPACE
have seen how two fundamental concepts, (1) that which relates a force to its components and (2) the moment effect of a force, were applied. When we consider force systems in space, the same basic concepts are all that are necessary, only they must be extended to include the more general case of space forces

CENTROIDS AND CENTERS OF GRAVITY
which the line of action of the weight always passes. The term centroid is used when referring to the center of gravity of a weightless figure such as a line, an area, or a volume The centroid of a line, area, volume, or mass is that point at which the whole line, area, volume, or mass may be conceived to be concentrated and have the same moment with respect to an axis as when distributed in its natural way.

MOMENT OF INERTIA
strength of beams, columns, deflection of beams, involve the use of the mathematical expression Moment of inertia applied to areas has no real meaning when examined by itself: it is merely a mathematical expression usually denoted by I. - moment of inertia about the centroidal axis Moment of inertia is also called the second moment of area.

TRANSFER FORMULA
This
equation states that for any area, the moment of inertia with respect to any axis in the plane of the area is equal to the moment of inertia with respect to a parallel centroidal axis plus a transfer term composed of the product of the area multiplied by the square of the distance between
