Concurrent Coplanar Force System
A concurrent co-planar force system is a system of two or more forces whose lines of action ALL intersect at a common point. However, all of the individual vectors might not actually be in contact with…
Varignon’s Theorem
Varignon’s Theorem states that the moment of a force about any point is equal to the algebraic sum of the moments of its components about that point. Principal of moments states…
Basic Assumptions of Classical Mechanics
CONTINUUM HYPOTHESIS A body consists of several particles. Each particle can be subdivided into molecules, atoms and electrons etc. It is not feasible to solve an engineering problem by treating…
Basics of Mechanics
Mechanics is the oldest physical science that deals with both stationary and moving bodies under the influence of forces. The branch of mechanics that deals with bodies at rest is…
