…… (force can be considered as sliding vector)
• Sliding Vector
– Has a unique line of action in space but not a unique point of
application
– Described by magnitude, direction & line of action
• Free Vector
– Its action is not confined or associated with a unique line in s
pace.
– Described by magnitude & direction
PRINCIPLES OF MECHANICS
Note: If there are not free vectors, you can sum them if and only if they have
the same point of the application.

NEWTON’S LAWS OF MOTION (1st Law)
First Law:
An object at rest tends to stay at rest and an object in motion
tends to stay in motion with the same speed and in the same
direction, unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.

NEWTON’S LAWS OF MOTION (2nd Law)
Second Law:
The acceleration of a particle is proportional to the vector sum of
forces acting on it, and is in the direction of this vector sum.

NEWTON’S LAWS OF MOTION
Third Law:
The mutual forces of action and reaction between two
particles are equal in magnitude, opposite in direction,
and collinear. Forces always occur in pairs – equal and
opposite action-reaction force pairs.
