    Lecture# 1

    Engineering Mechanics

    Dr. Sandeep Sathe


    Department of Civil Engineering
    MIT WPU Pune
    Why do we have to study engineering
    mechanics?

    We are going to be
    electrical/electronics/computer
    Engineers…
    Why engineering mechanics?

    Why engineering mechanics?

    No engineer can work in isolation of the other branches as


    any product requires many engineering branches.

    You can be a very good electrical designer but you need the
    help of mechanical engineers for designing the motor body,
    transformer etc. Engineering Mechanics will help you
    understand their work.

    Civil/Mechanical/Metallurgy/Ceramic/Bio-technology/Mining
    – Mechanics is a foundation

    Many specific fields such as strength of structures,


    machines, robotics, rocket and space craft design, engines,
    fluids, electrical machines, molecular, atomic and
    subatomic, vibrations,
    Applications of Mechanics
    Mandatory requirement

    Everyone has to bring their own calculator


    (No sharing)

    Mobile phone can not be used as calculator

    How all these motions happen?


    Idealisations of Mechanics !
    Basic dimensions and units of mechanics

    Primary Units
    – Length (m)
    – Time (s) SI Units
    – Mass (kg)

    Secondary Units
    – Velocity (m/s)
    – Acceleration (m/s2)
    – Force (N = kg-m/s2)
    – etc..
    – etc..
    Particle

    An object that has a mass but no size is


    called a particle
    Particle

    The idealization of particle is useful in dealing with


    the translatory motion of rigid bodies that could
    have the size of a car or even a planet

    This assumption ceases to be valid when rotation of


    the rigid body is also involved.

    System of Forces
    33 of 46
    Resultant
    — a single force representing the sum of
    two or more forces acting on an object

    — providing the same total effect of the


    original forces

    — with larger or smaller magnitude than


    the original forces

    Equilibrant
    —force having same magnitude like resultant but
    having opposite directions to make body stable is
    called equilibrant
    —Resultant and equilibrant are having same
    magnitude but opposite in directions

    Couple
    Couple, in mechanics, pair of equal parallel forces that are opposite
    in direction. The only effect of a couple is to produce or prevent the
    turning of a body.

    If two forces acting at a point are represented in magnitude and
    direction by the two adjacent sides of a triangle taken in order, then
    the closing side of the triangle taken in the reversed order represents
    the resultant of the forces in magnitude and direction.

    Equilibrium

    58 of 46
    Equilibrium

    ➢ Equilibrium implies the object is at


    rest (static) or its center of mass
    moves with a constant velocity
    (dynamic)

    ➢ Static Equilibrium example : Book on


    table, Ladder leaning against wall, etc.

    Equilibrium Equations

     F = 0 :  Fx = 0  Fy = 0  Fz = 0

     M o = 0 :  M o,x = 0  M o, y = 0  M o,z = 0

    ➢ Co-planer Concurrent Force System

    ➢ Co-planer Non-Concurrent Force System
