MODULE 1 (SUPPLEMENTARY)

REVIEW OF STATICS OF RIGID BODIES

ENGR. DEAN CARLO A. LAMBINO


DEFINITION OF FORCE
NEWTON’S LAWS
Force may be defined as the action of one body on another that affects the state of
motion or rest of the body.
• First Law: Any body at rest will remain at rest, and any body in motion will move
uniformly in a straight line, unless acted upon by a force. (Equilibrium)
• Second Law: The time rate of change of momentum is equal to the force
producing it, and the change takes place in the direction in which the force is
acting. (F = m x a )
• Third Law: For every force of action, there is a reaction that is equal in
magnitude, opposite in direction, and has the same line of action. (Basic concept
of force.)
CHARACTERISTICS OF A FORCE
A force is characterized by its point of application, magnitude, and direction.
• The point of application defines the point where the force is applied.
• Magnitude refers to the quantity of force, a numerical measure of the
intensity.
• The direction of a force is defined by its line of action and sense.
If a force is applied such that the line of action is neither vertical nor horizontal, some
reference system must be established. Most commonly accepted is the angular symbol
of (theta) or (phi) to denote the number of degrees the line of action of the force is in
relation to the horizontal or vertical axis, respectively.
RESOLUTION OF FORCES INTO RECTANGULAR
COMPONENTS
A reverse effect of vector addition is the resolution of a vector into two
perpendicular components. Components of a vector (or force) are usually
perpendicular to each other and are called rectangular components.
The x and y axes of a rectangular coordinate system are most often
assumed to be horizontal and vertical, respectively; however, they may be
chosen in any two mutually perpendicular directions for convenience
COMPONENTS OF A FORCE
PRINCIPLE OF TRANSMISSIBILITY
This principle states that the external effects on a body (cart) remain
unchanged when a force F1 acting at point A is replaced by a force F2
of equal magnitude at point B, provided that both forces have the same
sense and line of action.
PRINCIPLE OF TRANSMISSIBILITY
THREE EQUATIONS OF EQUILIBRIUM
MOMENT OF A FORCE
The tendency of a force to produce rotation of a body about some reference axis or
point is called the moment of a force (see Figures below). Quantitatively, the moment
M of a force F about a point A is defined as the product of the magnitude of the force
F and perpendicular distance d from A to the line of action of F. In equation form,
𝐌 = 𝐅𝐝
MOMENT OF A FORCE
Moment is the measure of the capacity or ability of the force
to produce twisting or turning effect about an axis
