Description of Engineering Mechanics - Dynamics
Statics is the branch of mechanics that deals with the
analysis bodies at rest, while dynamics deals with the
analysis od bodies in motion.
Dynamics includes:
●Kinematics – study of geometry of motion without
reference to the cause of the motion.
•Kinetics – study of the relation existing between the
forces acting on a body, the mass of the body, and the
motion of the body.
Rectilinear motion: position, velocity, and acceleration of
a particle as it moves along a straight line.
Curvilinear motion: position, velocity, and acceleration of
a particle as it moves along a curved line in two or three
dimensions.
I. Dynamics of Particles – Kinematics of Particles
The word particles does not restrict our study to
small corpuscles; rather, the motion of bodies –
possibly as large as rockets, cars, buses or airplanes
– will be considered without regard to their size.
For bodies analyzed as particles, only their motion
as an entire unit will be considered; rotations about
their own mass center will be neglected.
In cases, when such a rotation is not negligible;
such bodies cannot be considered as particles, it is
analyzed as dynamics of rigid bodies.
Rectilinear Motion: Position, Velocity & Acceleration
•Rectilinear motion: particle moving
along a straight line
•Position coordinate: defined by
positive or negative distance from a
fixed origin on the line.
•The motion of a particle is known if
the position coordinate for particle is
known for every value of time t.
•May be expressed in the form of a
function, e.g.,
326ttx−=
or in the form of a graph x vs. t.

•We often determine accelerations from the forces applied
(kinetics will be covered later)
•Generally have three classes of motion
- acceleration given as a function of time, a = f(t)
- acceleration given as a function of position, a = f(x)
- acceleration given as a function of velocity, a = f(v)
• Can you think of a physical example of when force is a
function of position?When force is a function of velocity?

We may be interested in the motion of
several different particles, whose motion
may be independent or linked together.
•For particles moving along the same line, time
should be recorded from the same starting
instant and displacements should be measured
from the same origin in the same direction.

II. Dynamics of Particles – Kinetics of Particles
•Newton’s first and third laws are sufficient for the study of bodies at
rest (statics) or bodies in motion with no acceleration.
•When a body accelerates (changes in velocity magnitude or direction),
Newton’s second law is required to relate the motion of the body to the
forces acting on it.
•Newton’s second law:
-A particle will have an acceleration proportional to the magnitude of
the resultant force acting on it and in the direction of the resultant
force.
-The resultant of the forces acting on a particle is equal to the rate of
change of linear momentum of the particle.
-The sum of the moments about O of the forces acting on a particle is
equal to the rate of change of angular momentum of the particle
about O.
Kinetics of Particles – Newton’s Second Law of Motion
•Newton’s Second Law: If the resultant force acting on a
particle is not zero, the particle will have an acceleration
proportional to the magnitude of resultant and in the
direction of the resultant.
•Consider a particle subjected to constant forces,
maFaFaF mass,constant332211=====!
•When a particle of mass m is acted upon by a force
the acceleration of the particle must satisfy
,F!amF!!=
•Acceleration must be evaluated with respect to a
Newtonian frame of reference, i.e., one that is not
accelerating or rotating.
•If force acting on particle is zero, particle will not
accelerate, i.e., it will remain stationary or continue on a
straight line at constant velocity.
Linear Momentum of a Particle
•Replacing the acceleration by the derivative of the
velocity yields
()particle theof momentumlinear ====∑LdtLdvmdtddtvdmF!!!!!
•Linear Momentum Conservation Principle:
If the resultant force on a particle is zero, the linear
momentum of the particle remains constant in both
magnitude and direction.

Systems of Units
•Of the units for the four primary dimensions (force,
mass, length, and time), three may be chosen arbitrarily.
The fourth must be compatible with Newton’s 2nd Law.
•International System of Units (SI Units): base units are
the units of length (m), mass (kg), and time (second).

Dynamic Equilibrium
•Alternate expression of Newton’s second law,
ectorinertial vamamF 0≡−=−∑!!!
•With the inclusion of the inertial vector, the system
of forces acting on the particle is equivalent to
zero. The particle is in dynamic equilibrium.
•Methods developed for particles in static
equilibrium may be applied, e.g., coplanar forces
may be represented with a closed vector polygon.
•Inertia vectors are often called inertial forces as
they measure the resistance that particles offer to
changes in motion, i.e., changes in speed or
direction.
•Inertial forces may be conceptually useful but are
not like the contact and gravitational forces found
in statics.

with the motion of particles
were solved through the
fundamental equation of

directly relates force, mass,
velocity and displacement.
•Method of impulse and
momentum: directly relates
force, mass, velocity, and
time.

A’. If r denotes the position vector corresponding to point A, the small
vector joining A and A’ can be denoted by the differential dr; the vector
dr is called the displacement of the particle. Now, let us assume that a
force F is acting on the particle.

IV. Systems of Particles
Here, we will study the motion of systems of particles, i.e., the motion of a
large number of particles considered together.
The first part is devoted to systems consisting of well defined particles; while
the second part considers the motion of variable systems, i.e., systems
which are continually gaining or losing particles, or doing both at the same
time.
•The effective force of a particle is defined as the product of it mass and
acceleration. It will be shown that the system of external forces acting on
a system of particles is equipollent with the system of effective forces of
the system.
•The mass center of a system of particles will be defined and its motion
described.
•Application of the work-energy principle and the impulse-momentum
principle to a system of particles will be described. Result obtained are
also applicable to a system of rigidly connected particles, i.e., a rigid
body.

The system is at rest when a moment
of is applied to gear B.
Neglecting friction, a) determine the
number of revolutions of gear B before
its angular velocity reaches 600 rpm,
and b) tangential force exerted by gear
B on gear A.

SOLUTION:
•Consider a system consisting of the two
gears. Noting that the gear rotational
speeds are related, evaluate the final
kinetic energy of the system.

VI. Mechanical Vibrations
•Mechanical vibration is the motion of a particle or body which
oscillates about a position of equilibrium. Most vibrations in
machines and structures are undesirable due to increased stresses
and energy losses.
•Time interval required for a system to complete a full cycle of the
motion is the period of the vibration.
•Number of cycles per unit time defines the frequency of the vibrations.
•Maximum displacement of the system from the equilibrium position is
the amplitude of the vibration.
•When the motion is maintained by the restoring forces only, the
vibration is described as free vibration. When a periodic force is applied
to the system, the motion is described as forced vibration.
•When the frictional dissipation of energy is neglected, the motion
is said to be undamped. Actually, all vibrations are damped to
some degree.

A 50-kg block moves between vertical
guides as shown. The block is pulled
40mm down from its equilibrium
position and released.
