FORCE
● The force is defined as any action that tends to change the state of
the body to which it is applied.
● It is a vector quantity.
● Unit N

● 1N =1 sec2
● 1 kgf = 9.8 N
{ 1 Young’s Modulus (E) is defined as the stress required to cause one unit strain}

● When the load is varying, the total load is equal to the area of the
loading diagram and the total load acts at the center of gravity of
the loading diagram.
INTERNAL FORCE
● The internal Forces hold the particles together forming a rigid body. If the
rigid body is composed of several parts, the forces holding the parts together
are called as internal forces.

PRINCIPLE OF TRANSMISSIBILITY
MOMENT(M)
▪ Moment Arm is the distance of perpendicular from the moment center, about
which the moment is to be calculated, on the line of action of force.
▪ It is a vector Quantity.
▪ Unit – Nm M L2 T2
▪ If a force is passing through a point then the moment of that force about the
same point is zero because the moment arm is zero.
▪ Moment represents the measure of tendency of the force to rotate a body.
Vijay Sir
7
▪ The point about which the force tends to rotate the body is called as the
moment center.
▪ The line perpendicular to the plane of the force and passing through the
moment center is called as axis of the moment.
▪ Moment of force F passing through A about point B is,
o M B = rAB x F
o (Moment of force F about point B is the cross product of F and rAB . )
o rAB = rA − rB

● When the two forces are collinear, their resultant is the algebraic sum of the
two forces.
● Like forces mean forces in the same direction
● Unlike forces mean forces in opposite directions
● When the resultant force R is perpendicular to force P, then
ɑ = 900
Q sin sin θ
∴ tan α = P +Q cos cos θ will become
Q sin sin θ
tan tan 900 = P +Q cos cos θ = 1
0
∴P + Q cosθ = 0
P = − Q cos
R = Q * sin
LAMI’s THEOREM
If three concurrent forces are acting on a body, kept in equilibrium, then
each force is proportional to the sine of the angle between the other two
forces and the constant of proportionality is the same.

sin sin α = sin sin β = sin sin γ = constant

When a body is subjected to three, non-parallel forces then the body will
be in equilibrium if these three forces are coplanar, concurrent and their
triangle of free vectors is a closed triangle.

consideration.
VIRTUAL WORK
● Virtual Work = ∑ F . δr = ∑ F x * δx + ∑ F y * δy + ∑ F z * δz
∴ Virtual Work = 0
● Only external forces and reactions appear the virtual work equation. Since
all internal forces occur in pairs of equal, opposite and collinear forces and
net work by these forces during any movement is zero.
Vijay Sir
16
● Principle :
The virtual work done by the external active forces on an ideal
mechanical system in equilibrium is zero for any virtual
displacements consistent with the constraints.
● Ideal System : Non Deformable links, No friction
● Advantages of Virtual Work Method
1. No need to dismantle the system.
2. Relation between active forces can be found without reference to
inactive forces.

● Normal Acceleration is always directed towards the center of the curve.
● It is also called radial, centripetal or center-seeking acceleration.
● The normal acceleration vector is perpendicular to the tangent at the curve
point.
● Centripetal acceleration causes the change in direction.

PROJECTILE MOTION
● An object is thrown with initial velocity u and initial angle θ with horizontal.
● Air resistance is negligible.
● Projectile is subjected to only gravitational acceleration in vertically
downward direction.
● ax = 0 and ay = − g
● As there is no resistance in horizontal direction, the horizontal component of
velocity will remain unchanged throughout the flight.
● The trajectory of projectile is parabolic.
● At the ground, KE is maximum while PE is minimum.
● At the top of the path, KE is minimum while PE is maximum.

Due to collision object 1 will apply force F1 on two and object 2 will apply force
F2 on one.
F 1 = m1 * ( v1 − u1)
& F 2 = m2 * ( v2 − u2)
From Newton’s Second Law,
F1 = − F2
m1 * ( v1 − u1) = − m2 * ( v2 − u2)
m1 * u1 + m2 * u2 = m1 * v 1 + m2 * v 2
IMPACT
Vijay Sir
27
Impact occurs when two bodies collide for a short time but a large
force is on the bodies by each other. e.g. Hammer Striking the Nail,
Hitting of Golf Ball
● When the velocities of colliding objects are collinear with line of impact then
impact is called as Direct Impact.
● When the velocities are along the line of mass centers it is called as Central
Impact.
● When velocities of colliding objects are non-collinear then impact is called as
Oblique Impact.
● When the line connecting mass centers of the two bodies does not coincide with
line of impact, then the impact is called as eccentric impact.
Recovery Impulse
● C oef f icient of Restitution (e) = Def ormation Impulse
Impact)
● Area under force-time diagram is the change in the linear momentum during the
same duration.
Vijay Sir
28
● For an isolated system, impulse or collision forces are internal. They do not
change the total momentum of the system. Only external forces can change the
total momentum of the system.
● Momentum of total system is conserved in any collision.
● The total momentum of an isolated system just before the collision is equal to
the total momentum of the system after impact.
ELASTIC COLLISION
● If a heavy object collides with a very light object that is initially at rest, the
heavy particle continues its motion unaltered after collision and light particle
rebounds with a speed equal to about twice the initial speed of heavy object.
Vijay Sir
29
● When a light object collides with stationary heavy object, the light object has
its velocity reversed in the direction and heavy object remains approximately
at rest.
● If two objects of same mass collide, their velocities get exchanged.
