 Introduction
 Newton’s Laws of motion
 Applied and constraint force
 Free body diagram
 Equilibrium condition
 Friction and friction forces
 Inertia force is an imaginary force, which
when acted upon rigid body to brings it into
equilibrium position. Here magnitude is equal
to acceleration but opposite in direction.
› FI = - mf
 Where, m = mass of rigid body
 , f = linear acceleration
 The inertia force arises due to mass of the
rotating or reciprocating parts of a machine.
 If the magnitude of inertia force is negligible
as compared to other externally force or load
and hence it is neglected and the analysis as
compared of mechanism is called as
STATIC FORCE ANALYSIS.
 NEWTON’S FIRST LAW
 Every object in a state of uniform motion tends to remain in that state of
motion unless an external force is applied to it.
 NEWTON’S SECOND LAW
 Acceleration is produced when a force acts on a mass. The greater the
mass (of the object being accelerated) the greater the amount of force
needed (to accelerate the object).
 NEWTON’S THIRD LAW
 every force there is a reaction force that is equal in size, but opposite in
direction. That is to say that whenever an object pushes another object it
gets pushed back in the opposite direction equally hard.
 Newton’s first two laws can be summarized
by the following equilibrium
 Σ Fij = mj fGj
 Which is called the equation of motion of a
body j.
 A pair of actions and reaction forces which
constrain two connected bodies to behave in
a particular manner depending upon the
nature of connection are known as constraint
forces.
 Whereas forces acting from outside on a
system of bodies are called applied force.
 CONSTRAINT FORCES
 As the constraint forces at a mechanical occur
in pairs. They have no net force effect on the
system of bodies. However, for an individual
body isolated from the system. Only one of
each pair of constraint force has to be
considered.
 APPLIED FORCE
 Usually, these forces are applied through direct
physical or mechanical contact. However,
forces like electric, magnetic and gravitational
are applied without actual physical contact.
 A free body diagram is a sketch or diagram of a part isolated from the
mechanism in order to determine the nature of forces acting on it.
 Figure (a) shows a four-link mechanism.
 • The free-body diagrams of its members 2, 3 and 4 are shown in Figs.
 (b), (c) and (d) respectively.
 • Various forces acting on each member are also shown.
 • As the mechanism is in static equilibrium, each of its members must
 be in equilibrium individually.
 STATIC EQUILIBRIUM
 A body is in static equilibrium if it
remains in its state of rest or motion. If
the body is at rest, it tends to remain at
rest and if in motion, it tends to keep
the motion.
 DYNAMIC EQUILIBRIUM
 If body in motion, it tends to keep in
motion. It simply that the velocity do
exist but remain constant that system
in dynamic equilibrium
 A member under the action of two forces will be
in equilibrium if
 – the forces are of the same magnitude,
 – the forces act along the same line, and
 – the forces are in opposite directions.
 Figure shows such a member.
 • A member under the action of three forces will
be in equilibrium if
 – the resultant of the forces is zero, and
 – the lines of action of the forces intersect at a
point (known as point of concurrency).
 Figure (a) shows a member acted upon by three forces F1,
F2 and F3 and is in equilibrium as the lines of action of forces
intersect at one point O and the resultant is zero.
 • This is verified by adding the forces vectorially [Fig.(b)].
 • As the head of the last vector F3 meets the tail of the first
vector F1, the resultant is zero.
 • Figure (d) shows a case where the magnitudes and
directions of the forces are the same as before, but the lines
of action of the forces do not intersect at one point.
 • Thus, the member is not in equilibrium.
 Consider a member in equilibrium in which force F1 is completely
known, F2 known in direction only and F3 completely unknown.
 • The point of applications of F1 , F2 and F3 are A, B and C
respectively.
 • To solve such a problem, first find the point of concurrency O from
the two forces with known directions, i.e. from F1, and F2.
 • Joining O with C gives the line of action of the third force F3.
 • To know the magnitudes of the forces F2 and F3, take a vector of
proper magnitude and direction to represent the force F1.
 • From its two ends, draw lines parallel to lines of action of the forces
F2 and F3 forming a force triangle [Fig.].
 • Mark arrowheads on F2 and F3 so that F1 , F2 and F3 are in the
same order.
 Friction is a force that is created whenever
two surfaces move or try to move across
each other. Friction always opposes the
motion or attempted motion of one surface
across another surface. Friction is
dependant on the texture of both surfaces.
