Fundamental Concepts Four Basic Quantities: Length is used to locate the position of a point in space and describe the size of a physical system. Time is is conceived as a succession of events. Mass is a measure of a quantity of matter that is used to compare the action of one body with that of another .
Force is the action of one body on another . gsbitao_2012
Definition of Idealizations:
Particle has a mass, but a size that can be neglected. Rigid-body is a combination of a large number of a particles in which all the particles remain at a fixed distance from one another, both before and after applying a load..
Concentrated Force represents the effect of a loading which is assumed to act at a point on a body. gsbitao_2012
Six Fundamental Principles
1. The Parallelogram Law for the Addition of Forces States that the two forces acting on a particle may be replaced by a single force which is called the RESULTANT FORCE. TOPIC

Six Fundamental Principles 2. The Principle of Transmissibility States that the condition of equilibrium or of motion of a rigid body will remain unchanged if a force, F, acting at a given point of rigid body is replaced by a force F’ of the same magnitude and same direction, TOPIC bur acting at a different point, provided that the forces have the same line of action.

Six Fundamental Principles Newton’s Three Laws of Motion: 3. The First Law If the resultant force acting on a particle is zero, the particle will remain at rest (if originally at rest) or will move with constant speed in a straight line (if originally in motion), provided that the particle is not TOPIC subjected to an unbalanced force.

Six Fundamental Principles Newton’s Three Laws of Motion: 4. The Second Law If the resultant force acting on a particle is not equal to zero (subjected to an unbalanced force), the particle will have an acceleration proportional to the magnitude of the resultant TOPIC and in the direction of this resultant force.

Methods of Problem Solving 1. Read the problem carefully and try to correlate the actual physical situation with the concepts. 2. Draw any necessary diagrams and tabulate the problem data. 3. Apply the relevant principles, generally in is mathematical form.
gsbitao_2012
4. Solve the necessary equations algebraically as far as practical, making sure they are dimensionally homogeneous. Use a consistent set of units and complete the solution numerically. 5. Study the answer with technical judgment and common sense to determine whether or not it seems reasonable.
Numerical Accuracy
The accuracy of the solutions of the problem depends upon 1. The accuracy of the given data. is
2. The accuracy of the computations performed.

FORCE VECTORS
What is a FORCE? We cannot measure force, only it effects: deformation of structures, acceleration. is
Instead we hypothesize: A force applied to a particle is a vector. Motion is determined by vector sum. A particle remains at rest only if total force acting on it is zero.

FORCE VECTORS Scalar a quantity characterized by a positive or negative number have magnitude but no direction, represented by plain numbers. is Vector represented by a letter with an arrow over it (A). Graphically, the length of an arrow (magnitude) the angle between a reference axis and arrows line of action (direction) indicated by the arrow head (sense) gsbitao_2012
