 INTRODUCTION
Vector : A quantity having both magnitude & direction.

Force : Force is an external agent which changes or tends to

change the state of a body.

Newton’s laws of motion:

1st law: Every body continues in its state of rest or of
uniform motion unless or until some external force acts on
it.
2nd law: The rate of change of momentum is directly
proportional to the impressed force and takes place in the
same direction.
3rd law: To every action there is an equal and opposite
reaction.
 MECHANICS

It is defined as that branch of

science, which describes and
predicts the conditions of rest or
motion of bodies under the action
of forces.
 APPLICATION OF
ENGINEERING MECHANICS
Engineering mechanics applies the principle of
mechanics to design, taking into account the effects of
forces. It is useful when it comes to analyzing stress,
designing of machine structures and hydraulics, etc.

 CLASSIFICATION OF MECHANICS
• Statics: Statics is the branch of mechanics which deals with forces and
their effects while acted upon bodies which are at rest.

• Dynamics: Dynamics is the branch of mechanics which deals with forces

and their effects while acted upon bodies which are in motion.

• Kinematics: Kinematics is the branch of mechanics which deals with

motion parameters without considering the forces responsible for motion.

• Kinetics: Kinetics is the branch of mechanics which deals with motion

parameters as well as forces responsible for motion.
 CONCEPT OF RIGID BODY
MECHANICS
Rigid body:
Anybody which doesn’t undergo deformation
(change in length or change in area or change in
shape) under the action of forces is said to be rigid

 FORCE & ITS CHARACTERISTICS

Force
Force may be defined as any action that tends to change the
state of rest or motion of a body to which it is applied.

Characteristics of a force
1. Magnitude
2. Point of application
3. Direction of application
 TYPES OF FORCES & FORCE SYSTEM

Forces acting on planes are broadly divided into

following two types
Force

Coplanar Non-coplanar
1.Collinear 1.Collinear
2.Concurrent 2.Concurrent
3.Parallel 3.Parallel
4.Non-concurrent 4.Non-concurrent
& Non parallel & Non parallel
System of forces refer to a group of forces acting on a particle.
