CONCEPTS
• The motion of a particle along a straight line is known as rectilin-ear motion.
• Kinematics is the study of motion without regard to forces orother factors which influence the motion. Hence, it deals withthe geometry and time dependent aspects of motion.
• The position of any particle at anytime ‘t’ is expressed in termsof its displacement ‘x’ from fixed origin ‘O’ on the x-axis.
• The slope at any point of the graph of displacement vs. time isequal to the instantaneous velocity at that point.

• The slope at any point of the graph of velocity vs. time is equalto the instantaneous acceleration at that point.

• Displacement of a particle is the change in position of a particleduring a time interval.
∆x x xf i= −
2 Engineering Mechanics
It is a vector quantity and has both magnitude and direction.• Distance travelled by a particle depends on the path of the par-
ticle. For example, if a particle starts from A, and returns to thesame point displacement will be zero but distance travelled willbe different.

∴ Distance travelled = 4.148 + 4.148 + 112 = 120.296m.Example 12.2 Murali walks at a constant speed of 8 m/s along a straightline from ‘P’ to ‘Q’ and returns along ‘QP’ from Q to P at a constantspeed of 4 m/s. Determine
(a) the average speed over the entire trip.(b) the average velocity over the entire trip.
Solution speed = distance travelled/time. From ‘P’ to ‘Q’, DistancePQ = 8t.
In return journey, time taken to cover the same distance = 2t.The distance travelled from Q to P is QP = 4(2t)

The motion curves x – t, v – t and a – t are shown in Fig. 12.13 next page.We know that v = (dx/dt) In Fig. 12.13, from A to B, (dx/dt) is negative andat t = 2s, dx/dt = 0 after which (dx/dt) is positive. The motion is towardsthe left during t = 0 to t = 2s. At C, (t = 1.5s), dv/dt = a is zero, after which(dx/dt) is positive.

Similarly, at t = 0, v = 0. Hence the slope of (x – t) curve at ‘A’ must be zero.Example 12.4 The motion of a particle moving along a straight line isexpressed as, x t t t= − + −3 2138 39 92 19 2. . . where ‘x’ is in meters and‘t’ is in seconds.

To find the distance travelled during t = 0 to t = 70s, above formulashould not be applied directly. Since v t t= − + =3 180 02 . at t = 0 &t = 60s, from t = 0 to t = 60s, v is positive hence motion is towards the rightand when t > 60, v is negative and hence motion is towards the left.
∴ Distance travelled from 0 to 70 is calculated in two steps as,Since after t = 60 sec, the direction of motion is reversed.

Thus the equations of motion are given by x t t= − −3 22 9;v t t= −23 4 ; and a = 6t – 4.Example 12.7 The acceleration due to gravity of a particle falling to-wards earth is a gR r= − 2 2 where ‘r’ is the distance from the centre ofearth to the particle; ‘R’ is the radius of the earth and ‘g’ is accelerationdue to gravity. Derive an expression for escape velocity.Solution Escape velocity is the minimum velocity with which a par-ticle should be projected vertically upwards from the surface of earth sothat it does not tend to return to the earth.

CONCEPTS
In this chapter, kinetics of particles involving Newton’s second law andD’Alembert’s principle is described. Application to connected bodies arealso illustrated. Analysis of motion of a particle subjected to central forcewith particular application to satellite motion is also dealt in this chapter.
• According to Newton’s second law of motion,r rF ma=
where r rF F= Σ when more than one force act on the particle, and
ra is the acceleration in the direction of resultant.
• While considering the motion of particles, rectangular compo-nents normal and tangential components and radial and trans-verse components are used.(i) In rectangular components,
ΣF max x= ; and ΣF may y=(ii) In tangential and normal components,

• Equations of motion of a particle, can be written asΣr rF ma− = 0. where inertial force F mai = −
r. Hence inertial force
vector −mar of magnitude ‘ma’ and direction opposite to the accel-
eration of particle is added. The particle is said to be in dynamicequilibrium. Thus a dynamics problem is transformed to a staticsproblem. This principle is known as D’Alembert’s principle.
2 Engineering Mechanics
• If a particle is in static equilibrium, the resultant of external forcesis zero. However, if a particle is in dynamic equilibrium, the result-ant of external forces is not zero.
• In the analysis of lift motion, Tension in string (T) due to accel-eration (a) of the lift is,
T = W [1 + (a/g)] for upward motionT = W [1 – (a/g)] for downward motion
• Linear momentum of a particle is expressed asr r
rr r
G mv
F ma m dvdt
dGdt
=
= = =
The rate of change of linear momentum is the resultant of forcesacting on the particle.
• Angular momentum rH0 of a particle about ‘O’ is the moment
about ‘O’ of the linear momentum mvr of the particle.
r r rH r mv0 = ×The rate of change of angular momentum of a particle about ‘O’is the sum of moments about ‘O’ of the forces acting on theparticle.
• When the only force acting on a particle is a force rF directed
towards or away from a fixed point ‘O’, the particle is said to bemoving under a central force.The angular momentum of a particle moving under a central forceis constant, both in magnitude and direction.

• Kepler’s laws of planetary motion:(1) Every planet moves in an elliptical orbit with the sun located
at one of the focal points.(2) The radius vector drawn from the sun to any planet sweeps
equal areas in equal time intervals.(3) The square of orbital period of any planet is proportional to
the cube of the semi-major axis of the elliptical orbit.Example 14.1 A block of mass 80 kg rests on a horizontal plane asshown in Fig. 14.12(a). Find the magnitude of force ‘P’ required to give theblock an acceleration of 2sm4=a to the right. The coefficient of frictionbetween the block and the plane is 0.30.
Figure 14.1(a)
4 Engineering Mechanics
Solution Due to the force the block moves to the right with a = 4 2m s .The block is subjected to its weight (W = mg), the force ‘P’, the verticalreaction ‘N’ and frictional force ‘F’. Applying Newton’s Second Law F =ma, as shown in Fig. 14.12(b),
Figure 14.01(b) Newton’s Second Law
Since the motion is to the right, frictional force acts in a direction op-posing the motion.

Example 14.21 Block A and blockB of weights 750 N and 1500 N respec-tively start from rest as shown in Fig.14.38(a). The coefficient of friction be-tween block A and the surface of theinclined plane is 0.2. Determine the ac-celeration of each block and tension inthe wire. Assume the pulley to beweightless and frictionless.Solution Let us first determinewhether the block moves up the plane or slide down the slope and also themaximum frictional force that could mobilized to keep the system frommoving. Assume that the system is at rest; the forces acting on the bodyare shown in free body diagram.

The body cannot remain at rest since ‘F’required to keep the body at rest is greaterthan Fmax. Therefore it should move up theplane.
The system has one degree of freedom,therefore magnitude of accelerations can beexpressed in terms of aA.
If block A moves up the plane with an ac-celeration ‘aA’, simultaneously block B movesdown with an acceleration a aB A( )= 2

If a force 235.44 N is applied instead of blockA, then tension in the rope is constant and isequal to 235.44 N.From Fig. 14.25(c): T – 235.44 = 0;

Therefore acceleration of each block andtension in the rope are given as (a) aA = 6.54 m/s2 )(↓ ; aB = 3.27 m/s2 )(↑ ;and T = 78.48 N respectively. (b) If a forceA, 235.44 N is applied, the accelerationof block B aB and tension (T) are givenas T = 235.44 N; aB = 29.43 m/s2 ).(↑In both the cases, magnitude of force applied at ‘A’ is same. But aBis different. In case (a), tension in the rope is reduced by inertia ofblock A.
29. In the case of connected particles as shownin Fig. 14.58, the directions of motions mustbe determined. We observe that the length ofconnecting cable is constant. Hence down-ward motion of Block ‘A’ will raise block ‘B’upwards, and upward motion of block ‘C’ willlower the block ‘B’ downwards. The actualvalue of tension in the cable will determinethe motion. Weights of blocks when resolvedinto parallel and perpendicular to theplane.WA cos 50º = 750 cos 50º = 482.091WA sin 50º = 750 sin 50º = 574.533WC cos 50º = 300 cos 50º = 192.836WC sin 50º = 300 sin 50º = 229.813mass of blocks are also calculatedas,mA = WA/g = 76.453 kgmB = WB/g = 91.743 kgmC=WC/g = 30.581 kgLet us assume the block ‘B’ is at rest

Components of weights are shownin Fig. 14.26(e).→+ 011.4209.48813.229450 −=−−=∑ ′xF∴ Block ‘C’ is not in equilibrium and it should move up the plane.Hence the entire system cannot remain at rest. The motion of blocksare assumed as follows.
Block A — moves down the planeBlock B — moves downBlock C — moves up the plane.
Since total length of the cable is constant,sA + 2sB + sC = 0sC = –(sA + 2sB)
i.e. displacement of C occurs in the upward direction, displace-ment of A and B in the downward direction.
∴ cC = cA + 2vB; aC = aA + 2aBDynamic equilibrium of each block is considered

Show that, at the lowest position of the mass, thetension in the string is three times the value when the mass is simplesuspended in that position.Solution At any intermediate position ‘C’, W and T are acting. But ‘T’ isalways normal to the path and towards the centre of curvature. Hence, ‘T’does not do any work and work is done only by ‘W’.
