, UNIT I – Mechanics and Properties of Matter
1.1 Introduction
Particle: Dimensions of an object are considered to be negligible and small compared to the
coordinates describing its motion.
System of particles: An object represented by two or more particles and is dealt with together
is called system of particles.
Rigid body: The distance between any two given points on a rigid body is invariant in time
regardless of external forces exerted on it.A rigid body is usually considered as a continuous
distribution of mass.
Deformable body: Anybody that changes its shape and/or volume while being acted upon by
any kind of external force.
A force is a push or a pull exerted on one object by another object. The units of force is newton.
1.2 Newton Laws
Newton’s first law: A body continuous a state of rest or uniform motion unless an external force
acts on it.
Newton's first law says that if the net force on an object is zero (ΣF=0), then that object
will have zero acceleration. That doesn't necessarily mean the object is at rest, but it means that
the velocity is constant.
The property of a body to remain at rest or to remain in motion with constant velocity is
called inertia. Newton’s first law is often called the law of inertia.
The inertia of an object is measured by its mass. Mass can be determined by measuring
how difficult an object is to accelerate. The more mass an object has, the harder it is to
accelerate.
Newton’s second law:Acceleration of an object produced by a net force is directly proportional
to the magnitude of the net force, in the same direction as the net force, and inversely
proportional to the mass of the object.
Newton’s third law: All forces between two objects exist in equal magnitude and opposite
direction.
1.2.1 Newton’s first law of motion from Newton’s second law of motion
Newton's first law states that a body stays at rest if it is at rest and moves with a constant
velocity if already moving, until a net force is applied to it. In other words, the state of motion of
a body changes only on application of a net non-zero force.Newton's second law states that the
net force applied on a body is equal to the rate of change in its momentum. Mathematically,
