    Newton's Laws of Motion Law 1: Every-Body Will Continue in A State of Rest or Uniform Motion in A

    Newton's Laws of Motion provide fundamental concepts for analyzing structures. The first law states that an object remains at rest or in uniform motion unless acted upon by an external force. The second law establishes that a force causes a change in an object's momentum proportional to the force and in the direction of the applied force. The third law specifies that for every action force there is an equal and opposite reaction force. These laws allow the definition of concepts like potential energy, which can be gained, lost, or remain constant, that assist in structural analysis.

    Introduction

    The analysis of structures considered here will be based on a number of


    fundamental concepts which follow from simple Newtonian mechanics; it is
    necessary that we first review Newton’s Laws of Motion. The word ‘Laws’ is
    often replaced with ‘Axioms’, as they cannot be proved in the normal
    experimental sense but are self-evident truths which are believed to be
    correct because all results obtained assuming them to be true agree with
    experimental observations.
    In 1687 Sir Isaac Newton published a work that clearly set out the Laws of
    Mechanics. He proposed the following three laws to govern motion:

    Newton’s Laws of Motion

    Law 1: Every-body will continue in a state of rest or uniform motion in a


    straight line unless acted on by a resultant force.

    Law 2: The change in momentum per unit time is proportional to the


    impressed force, and takes place in the direction of the straight line along the
    axis in which the force acts.

    Law 3: Action and reaction are equal and opposite.


    Based on these laws we are able to define some basic concepts which will
    assist us in our analysis of structures.
