INTRODUCTION TO ENGINEERING
MECHANICS

Forces: Physical quantity, which changes


or tends to change the state of rest or
uniform motion of a body. Coplanar Forces
Lines of action of all forces lie on a single
plane.

Concurrent Forces: Lines of action of all


forces pass through a single point.

Collinear Forces: Lines of action of all


forces pass through a single line.
Parallel Forces Lines of action of all forces
are parallel to each other.

Non-coplanar concurrent forces Lines of


action of all forces are not lying on a single
plane but passing through a single point.

Component form of Vectors: This can be


represented as v = vi+vj+vk

Couple:
Two non-collinear parallel and equal forces
acting in opposite sense.

What isPrinciple of transmissibility

The effect of a force upon a body is the


same at every point in its line of action
Varignon's theorem The net moment of a
system of forces about a point is equal to
the moment of the resultant about the same
point

Parallelogram Law: Magnitude of Resultant


R = [P²+Q²+2PQcosa]½ Direction of
Resultant0=tan-¹[(Qsina)/(P+Qcosa)]

Reactive forces: Counter balancing force


generated by the medium or supports on
which action is taking place.

Free body diagram

The body isolated from the surroundings, all


constraints and supports are replaced by
their reactions and all active forces and
moments are shown
Equivalent system The effect of the two
systems on the rigid body is identical.

Equilibrium for two force system

If and only if the two forces are equal in


magnitude, opposite in sense and collinear
in action.
Equilibrium for three force system

If either the forces meet at one point or they


are parallel. Reverse is not always true.

Lami's Theorem:

If three co-planar forces acting at a point


are in equilibrium, each force is proportional
to the sine of the angle between the other
two forces.
