Introduction
Mechanics

 Mechanics = science which

describes and predicts the
conditions of rest or motion of
bodies under the action of forces
 It is divided into three parts:
1. Mechanics of rigid bodies
2. Mechanics of deformable bodies
3. Mechanics of fluids
Dr. Mohammad Suliman Abuhaiba, P.E.
 3 1/31/2014 8:29 PM

Introduction
Mechanics of rigid bodies is
subdivided into:
1. Statics: deals with bodies at rest
2. Dynamics: deals with bodies in
motion

Dr. Mohammad Suliman Abuhaiba, P.E.

 4 1/31/2014 8:29 PM

Introduction
Dynamics is subdivided into:
1. Kinematics
 study of geometry of motion.
 relating displacement, velocity,
acceleration, and time without reference
to the cause of motion
2. Kinetics
 study of the relation existing between the
forces acting on a body, the mass of the
body, and the motion of the body
Dr. Mohammad Suliman Abuhaiba, P.E.
 5 1/31/2014 8:29 PM

Introduction
A dynamic study could be done on
two levels:
1. Particle
 an object whose size and shape can
be ignored when studying its motion.
2. Rigid Body
 a collection of particles that remain at
fixed distance from each other at all
times and under all conditions of
loading. Dr. Mohammad Suliman Abuhaiba, P.E.

Determination of Motion of a
Particle
• Typically, conditions of motion are specified by
type of acceleration experienced by the particle.
• Determination of velocity & position requires two
successive integrations.

Brake mechanism used to reduce gun recoil consists of piston
attached to barrel moving in fixed cylinder filled with oil. As
barrel recoils with initial velocity v0, piston moves and oil is
forced through orifices in piston, causing piston and cylinder to
decelerate at rate proportional to their velocity; that is a = -kv

Sample Problem 11.9

Automobile A is traveling east
at the constant speed of 36
km/h. As automobile A crosses
the intersection shown,
automobile B starts from rest 35
m north of the intersection and
moves south with a constant
acceleration of 1.2 m/s2.
Determine the position,
velocity, and acceleration of B
relative to A 5 s after A crosses
the intersection.

Tangential and Normal Components
 Tangential component of acceleration reflects
change of speed
 Normal component reflects change of direction.
 Tangential component may be positive or negative.
 Normal component always points toward center of
path curvature.

A motorist is traveling on
curved section of highway at 88
m/s. The motorist applies
brakes causing a constant
deceleration rate.
Knowing that after 8 s the speed
has been reduced to 66 m/s,
determine the acceleration of
the automobile immediately
after the brakes are applied.
