Difference – Statics & Dynamics
 Statics – Analysis of
particles and bodies at rest
 Dynamics – Accelerated motion of
particles and bodies
What is Dynamics ?
 Dynamics is the branch of Mechanics which deals
with the motion of bodies under the action of Forces
Application of Dynamics
 The rapid technological developments of the present day require
increasing application of the principles of mechanics, particularly
dynamics.
 These principles are basic to the analysis and design of moving
structures, to fixed structures subject to shock loads, to robotic devices,
to automatic control systems, to rockets, missiles, and spacecraft, to
ground and air transportation vehicles, and to machinery of all types
such as turbines, pumps, reciprocating engines, hoists, machine tools, etc
Two Distinct Parts of Dynamics
 KINEMATICS
Study of Motion without Reference to the forces
which cause motion
 Concerned with Geometric Aspects of Motion :

s: Displacement v: Velocity a : Acceleration t-Time

Example of Kinematic Problem
At What height and what
velocity the hitter should
expect to hit the ball if initial
position and velocity of the
ball is known.
In the above statement it is
clear that we are just
interested in the geometry of
the motion and NOT the
driving forces
Two Distinct Parts of Dynamics
 KINETICS
Relating the action of forces on bodies to their
resulting Motions.
INTELLIGENCE CHECK
 How was it possible that every single person in an
airplane crash died, but two people survived?
Lots of Formulas
Using the first 2
Using New Derived equation
Combining Equations
More Equations which can be derived
INTELLIGENCE CHECK
 If an electric train is moving north at 100mph and a
wind is blowing to the west at 10mph, which way
does the smoke blow?
 There will be no smoke as it is an Electric train
 Basic Concepts
25

 Space is the geometric region occupied by bodies and their

positions are described by linear and angular measurements
relative to coordinate system.
 Mass is a measure of the inertia of the body. Inertia can be
defined as the resistance of the body to acceleration or
change of velocity.
 Time is the measure of succession of events and it is a vital
parameter in dynamics. Time is not an important parameter
and is not directly involved in the problems associated with
statics
 Basic Concepts
26

 Force can be considered as the action of one body on

another or in another way it can interpreted as a “push”
or “pull” exerted by one body on another. The action of
a force is characterized by three parameters, its
magnitude, direction of its action and its point of
application. A force is represented by a known vector.
 Length is needed to locate the position of a point in
space and thereby describe the size of a physical
system
Particle and Rigid Body
Particle
 A body which has a mass but negligible dimension is called a
particle. In mathematics, a particle can be defined as a body whose
dimensions approach zero so that it can be treated as a point mass
Rigid Body
 A body is said to be a rigid body when the relative movements
between its parts that make up the body are negligible when
certain amount of force or load is applied to the body
 In other words, it can be said that the distance between the particles
that make up the body remain unchanged before and after
applying a load
Intelligence Check
 How many Times can you subtract 10 from 100.
 SOME MONTHS HAVE 31 DAYS,WHILE OTHER
MONTHS HAVE 30 DAYS,HOW MANY MONTHS
HAVE 28 DAYS
UNITS
UNITS
 In SI units, by definition, one Newton is that force which
will give a one-kilogram mass an acceleration of one
meter per second squared.
 In the U.S. customary system a 32.1740-pound mass (1
slug) will have an acceleration of one foot per second
squared when acted on by a force of one pound.
CONVERSIONS
Q : What is slug
A : it’s a unit in U.S customary units
Q :how to convert it ?
A : 1 slug = 32.174 lb = 14.594 kg , 1 lb = 0.031 slug
Q : What is 1 lb
A : 1 lb = 4.447 N = 0.031 slug
Problem 1/1
 For the 3600-lb car, determine
(a) Its mass in slugs

(b) Its weight in Newtons

(c) Its Mass in Kilograms

SOLUTION
 m = 111.89 slugs
 W=16009. 2 N
 m = 1632 kg
