9M303.11 1
 Objectives

• After completion of this lesson , you would be able to

– State what is ‘Dynamics’
– Define scalar and vector quantities

9M303.11 2
 Recap

• Mechanics is the science which deals with effect of

forces on the bodies.

• Engineering mechanics can be divided into two main

groups
a. Statics
b. Dynamics

9M303.11 3
 Recap

• Statics : It is that branch of Engineering mechanics

which deals with effect of forces on the bodies which are
at rest

• Dynamics: It is that branch of Engineering mechanics

which deals with effect of forces on the bodies which are
in motion

9M303.11 4
 Classification Of Dynamics

• Dynamics is subdivided into two groups.

a. Kinematics
b. kinetics

9M303.11 5
 Dynamics
Kinematics: It is a study of motion of bodies with out
reference to the mass of the body and the forces causing
the motion.
Kinetics: It is a study of motion of bodies with reference
to the mass of the body and the forces causing the
motion

 Scalar And Vectors Quantities

All the physical quantities fall under two categories

• Scalars
• vectors

9M303.11 7
 Scalar And Vectors Quantities

Scalars: Scalars are those physical quantities that have

only magnitude but have no direction

Ex :- mass, time, temperature, volume, area etc

9M303.11 8
 Scalar And Vectors Quantities

• Vectors: Vectors are those physical quantities that

have both magnitude and direction

• Ex :- displacement, velocity, force, acceleration etc
