 COURSE OVERVIEW
Mechanics is concerned with the analysis of the
action of forces on objects.

 KINEMATICS vs. KINETICS
KINEMATICS
• study of the geometry of
motion
• used to relate displacement,
velocity, acceleration, and
time without reference to
the cause of motion
ES 12: DYNAMICS OF RIGID BODIES
KINETICS
• study of the relations
existing between the forces
acting on a body, the mass
of the body, and the motion
of the body
• used to predict the motion
caused by given forces or to
determine the forces
required to produce a given
motion

 PARTICLE vs RIGID BODY ANALYSIS

PARTICLE ANALYSIS RIGID BODY ANALYSIS

• rigid bodies are assumed • actual shapes and sizes

and visualized as single of rigid bodies are
points considered
• rotation of the bodies will • rotation of the bodies will
not be taken into account be taken into account
