Concept of Mechanics

▪ Mechanics : It is the branch of science which deals with the study of forces
and their effect on bodies at rest or in uniform motion.
▪ Applied Mechanics : Deals with the application of principles of mechanics.
(Example : Trusses, frames, rockets, etc.)

Applied Mechanics

▪ Solid Mechanics deals with the forces and their effect on bodies.
▪ Fluid Mechanics deals with the behavior of fluids at rest and in motion.
▪ Mechanics of Rigid bodies deals with the forces and effect on rigid bodies.
▪ Mechanics of deformable bodies deals with the force and effect on deformable bodies.
▪ Static deals with the forces and their effect on rigid bodies in sate of rest.
▪ Dynamics deals with the forces and their effect on rigid bodies in sate of motion.
▪ Kinematics deals with the study of motion of bodies without referring to the forces that
cause the motion.
▪ Kinetics deals with the study of motion of bodies by considering the cause of the
motion. (Mass, Energy, Word Done are involved)
Fundamental Physical Quantities

 A  Fundamental physical quantity is a property of a material


or system that can be quantified by measurement.
 The seven Fundamental quantities and their corresponding
units are:
 time (second)
 length (meter)
 mass (kilogram)
 electric current (ampere)
 thermodynamic temperature (kelvin)
 amount of substance (mole)
 luminous intensity (candela)
Derived Physical Quantities

 When a physical quantity expresses itself in terms of two or


more fundamental physical quantities it is called as derived
physical quantities.
 It is derived by multiplying or dividing one basic physical
quantity with another basic physical quantity.
 Example :
 Density (mass/volume)
 Volume (length*length*length)
 Force (mass*acceleration)
 power
 velocity
 acceleration
Units

 It is a definite magnitude of a quantity, defined and adopted


by convention or by law, that is used as a standard for
measurement of same quantity.
 Fundamental Units : second (s), meter (m), kilogram (kg),
ampere (A), kelvin (K), mole (mol) and candela (cd).
 Further the units which are expressed in terms of
fundamental units are called derived units. Example Force
(Newton Kg . m/sec2), Work (Joule Nm), Frequency (Hertz
sec-1)
System of Units

FPS (Foot-Pound-Second)
System of Units
CGS(Centimeter-gram-second)

MKS(Meter-Kilogram-second)
