KRISHNA COPIERS ‘_SMRITI NAGAR MO, 9691859316, 9584601916 EQUILIBRIUM OF FORCES AND COUPLES IBJECTIVE QUESTIONS Q.1. Define Engineering Mechanics. Also give its classification. ‘Ans. Engineering Mechanics is that branch of science which deals with the system of forces, effects produced by these forces on rigid bodies and particles and study of geometry of motion of rigid bodies and particles. The subject of Engineering Mechanics may be divided into following two main branches ~ (Statics —Statics, is that branch of Engineering Mechanics, which deals with the study of system of forces and ‘effects produced by these forces on rigid bodies, which are at rest and remains at rest. (ii) Dynamies— Dynamics, is that branch of Engineering Mechanics, which deals with the study of system of forces and motion produced by these forces by acting on rigid bodies. Dynamics may be further sub-divided into following two branches — (a) Kinematies ~ Kinematics is the study of the motion of a body without considering the effect of its mass and forces acting on it (b) Kineties — Kinetics deals with the problems, which requires determination of the effect of forces on the motion of a body. Q.2. Define the following terms — @ Body Ans. () Body ~ A body is a portion of matter which occupies a finite space. A body is made up of atoms and molecules arranged in a complex but continuous manner. Such an arrangement of matter is called 4s a continuum. A body may be rigid or non-rigid, i.e. deformable. i) Rigid Body — A body which does not change its shape or size when subjected to external forces, is defined as the rigid body. In actual practice, there is no perfect rigid body, all bodies undergo deformation when subjected to external forces.2. Engineering Mechanics However, if these deformations are negligible as compared to the size of the body, it may be assumed as a rigid body. For example, beams, trusses, frames and other structures which have negligible deformation can be considered as rigid bodies. (iii) Particle~ A particle may be defined as a portion of matter having smallest size or is dimensionless. A body whose dimensions are negligible as compared to distance travelled by it during the motion may also be treated as a particle. Mathematically, a particle may be considered as a body in which all materials are concentrated at a point. For example, sun, planets and stars can also be considered as particles because their dimensions are very small as compared to distance travelled by them. Q.3. Define force and give its “nits. What effects force can produce on a body ? Ans, Force may be defined as, “an external agent which produces or tends to produce, destroys or tends to destroy, motion”. In other words, a force is a pull or push, which when acts on a body changes or tends to change, the state of rest or of uniform motion of the body. In SI units, force is measured in Newtons (N) and in MKS units it is measured ia kilogram force (kgf), where 1 kgf= 9.81 N A force is a vector quantity, thus along with its magnitude, its direction and point of application also has to be specified. Effects of a Force — A force acting on a body may produce one or more of the following effects — It may change the motion of the body, i.e. if the body is at rest force may set the motion in it, and if the body is already in motion the force ‘may accelerate or retard its motion. (i) It may retard the forces already acting on a body, thus bringing it to rest or in equilibrium. (iii) It may produce the internal stresses in a body on which it acts. Q.4. Write short note on —System of forces. _ (R.G.BV., Dec. 2001) Ans. When a number of forces acts on a body, or group of bodies, they form a system of forces or force system. Depending upon the orientation of forces acting on a body the system of forces may be classified as ~ ( Coplanar Force System — When lines of action of all the forces, of force system lies in the same plane, the force system is called coplanar force system. Equilibrium of Forces and Couples 3 (W) Nox-coplanar Force System— When lines of action of the forces of force system do not lie in the same plane, the forcp system is called as non- coplanar force system. (ii) Collinear Forces ~ The forces, whose lines of action lie on same line are known as collinear forces. (iv) Parallel Forces ~The forces, whose lines of action are parallel to each other are known as parallel forces. (©) Concurrent Forces — The forces, which meet at one point are known as concurrent forces. Concurrent forces may or may not be collinear. (vi) Non-concurrent Forces ~The forces, which does not meet at one point are known as non-concurrent forces. Both coplanar and non-coplanar forces may be concurrent, non- concurrent, parallel and non-parallel as shown in fig, 1.1. Point of Concurrency Fy % (@) Coplanar, Concurrent Forces Parallel Forces ‘Now-paratel Forces F3 Fy (6) Coplanar, Non-concurrent Forces4. Engineering Mechanics 5 Non-parallet Forces (d) Non-coplanar, Non-concurrent Forces Fig. 1.1 System of Forces Q.5. What do you understand by composition and resolution of forces ? Ans. Composition of Forces ~ Composition is a process of adding two or more forces. If a number of forces F), F, F3... etc., are acting simultaneously on a particle, then it is possible to find out a single force which would produce the same effect as was produced by all the given forces. This single force is called as the resultant force and represented by R. The given forces, F}, Fz, F3 ... etc., are called component forces. ‘The method of finding out the resultant force of a number of given forces is called composition of forces or compounding of forces. Resolution of a Force ~ The process of splitting up a force along two mutually perpendicular directions generally X and Y axes, without changing its effect on the body is called resolution of a force. Equilibrium of Forces and Couples 5 Consider a force F acting at an angle 0 y with the X-axis, as shown in fig. 1.2. Now the component of force F along X-axis will be F, =F cos 0 ae and along Y-axis, it will be Fy=Fsin@ x Similarly, a number of forces can be oO Fee resolved. Fig. 1.2 If line of action of force F, goes towards right, F, is taken as positive, otherwise it is taken as negative. Similarly, if line of action of force component F, goes upwards, F, is taken as +ve, otherwise it is taken as —ve. ‘Component F cos @ is always connected with the angle 0, measured with Y-axis, then Fy =F cos @ 0.6. Discuss the analytical method of determining resultant of a system of coplanar concurrent forces. angle 0 is Ans. Consider a number of coplanar forces Fy, F2, F... acting at a point as shown in fig. 1.3. Now the resultant of this force system can be found in following steps ~ Fig. L3 ()_ Resolve all the forces horizontally, i.c. along X-axis and find their algebraic sum. Mathematically, BH = F; cos 6; + F; cos 02 + F3 cos 03 + .. (ii) Resolve all the force vertically, ic. along Y-axis and find their algebraic sum. Mathematically, ZV = Fy sin 0; + Fp sin 2 + F3 sin 03 +...6 Engineering Mechanics Gii) Now resultant of given force system can be found by using the principle of resolution, which states, “the algebraic sum of the resolved parts of a number of forces in a given direction is equal to the resolved part of their resultant in the same direction.” Thus, resultant force R= aH? +avy? . Gv) The direction of resultant force with X-« given by, ZV =H Q.7. Name and discuss graphical methods of finding resultant of two coplanar concurrent forces. tan @ Ans, In general, there are two methods used for finding resultant of two coplanar concurrent forces, which are discussed below ~ @ Triangle Law of Forces ~ tis the graphical method of finding resultant of two concurrent forces. : It states, “if two concurrent forces acting simultaneously at a point be represented in magnitude and direction by the sides of a same order, their resultant is represented by the third magnitude and direction taken in opposite order. (@) (bh) Fig. 1.4 Triangle Law of Forces If two forces F, and F, are acting at an angle 0 as shown in fig. 1.4 (a), their resultant by triangle law of forces can be found as follows ~ 1. Drawa line oa parallel and equal to F on some conveni 2. From a, draw a vector ac at an angle 0 to the horizontal and length equals to the magnitude of force F on chosen scale. 3.

What do you mean by moment of a force ? Explain. Ans. When we applied a force on the body, if has the tendency to tum the body about some point. This turing tendency of a force about a point is called the moment of the force about that point, and it is measured by the product of the force and the perpendicular distance of its line of action from the point. For concurrent, coplanar forces, body can be considered as a particle and effect of force on the body is not considered. But, when the size of the body is large and forces acting are non-concurrent, the body cannot be considered 8 particle, and we also have to consider the turning effect of the forces,8 Engineering Mechanics Consider a force F is acting on a body as shown in fig. 1.6, and moment of this force is required to find about point O. Let r = Perpendicular distance from point Oto the line of action of force F. The moment of the force about O will be given by, Perpendicular Distance ig. 1.6 Moment of a Force In S.1. units moment of a force is expressed in N-m. ‘A moment has both magnitude and direction hence, it is a vector quantity. Iftendency of the moment is to rotate the body in the clockwise direction, then it is called clockwise moment and if the tendency of the moment is to rotate the body in anticlockwise direction, then itis called anticlockwise moment. M=Fxr Anticlockwise moment is generally taken +ve, and clockwise moment is taken as —ve. Q.9. State and prove the theorem of Varignon. Raipur 2004) Or 5 State and prove Varignon’s theorem. (R.G.P.V., June 2005, Dec. 2001) Ans, Varignon’s theorem states, “ifa number of coplanar forces are acting ona body, then algebraic sum of the moments of all the forces about any point in their plane is equal to the moment of their resultant force about the same point”. Proof — Consider two concurrent forces F, afd Fz acting at point O, represented in magnitude and direction by OA and OB, as shown in fig. 1.7. Their resultant is represented in magnitude and direction by OC, the diagonal of the parallelogram OACB. Let 0’ be the any point in the plane about which moments of Fy, F and R have to be determined. From point ©’, perpendiculars are drawn on OA, OB and OC. Now line OO' is joined and produce to X. From points C, A and B perpendiculars are drawn which meets line OX at points D, E and F respectively.

This theorem can be applied to any coplanar force system, whether concurrent, non-concurrent or parallel force system, Q.10. Discuss the method of determining resultant of non-coucurrent coplanar forces. Ans, Non-concurrent forces may be parallel or non-parallel. The resultant ‘of non-concurrent coplanar forces may be determined as discussed below () Resultant of Coplanar, Non-concurrent, Parallel Forces —Non- concurrent, parallel forces can be of two types — (Like parallel (ii) Unlike parallel, ‘The parallel forces which are acting in the same direction as shown in fig. 1.8 (a) are known as like parallel forces.

Engineering Mechanics cable so formed under these conditions is known as funicular polygon. Force polygon method cannot be used for parallel force system as it does not give the location of the resultant. Funicular polygons are thus used which locates the resultant of parallel force system in space. Fig. 1.12 Funicular polygon for a system of parallel forces as shown in fig. 1.12 can be drawn as follows — (First of all a space diagram as shown in fig. 1.13 (a) is drawn which shows various forces along with their magnitude and line of action.

(viii) Now magnitude of resultant force will be given by, R= Length ae x Chosen scale and the location of resultant will be given by perpendicular distance between force AB and resultant Q.12. What do you mean by equilibrium of forces ? What are the various types of equilibrium ? Aus. A body is said to be in equilibrium, when the resultant of the system of forces acting on itis zero. If a body is in equilibrium, it will continue its state of rest or uniform motion. Types of Equilibrium ‘There are following three typ*s of equilibrium — (Stable Equilibrium — & body is said to be in stable equilibrium, it returrs back to its original position, after it is slightly disturbed from its position of rest. In this case the restoring force acts in the opposite direction to the displacing force. Gi) Unstable Equilibrium —A body is said to be in unstable equilibrium, it does not return back to its original position of rest, after it is slightly disturbed. In this ease restoring force acts in the direction of displacing force. (iii) Neutral Equilibrium — A ‘ody is said to be in neutral equilibrium, if it occupies a new position, and remains at rest in this new position, after it is slightly disturbed from its original position. In this case no additional force sets up due to the displacement. Q.13. Differentiate between Resultant and Equilibrant. (R.G.PY., Dec. 2002) Ans. If a number of forces are acting simultaneously on a particle, it is possible to find out a single force which would replace them, i.e. which would14. Engineering Mechanics produce the same effect as produced by all the given forces. This single force is called resultant force. This resultant force, causes the body to move. Now, if another force, which is equal in magnitude of the resultant but opposite in direction is applied to the body, the body comes to rest. The force, which brings the set of forces in equilibrium is called an equilibrant. This equilibrant force is equal to the resultant force in magnitude, but opposite in nature, Q.14. State the analytical and graphical conditions of equilibrium. (R.G.PY., Dec. 2003) Ans. Analytical Conditions of Equilibrium — The necessary and sufficient conditions for a system of coplanar forces acting on a rigid body to keep it in equilibrium are — (i) The algebraic sum of the resolved parts of the forces acting along X-axis is zero, i, EFx=0 a) (ii) The algebraic sum of the resolved parts of the forces acting along Y-axis is zero, ie. EFy=0 tee I or FLL LB OSs sing. ~ sin ~ siny We ‘This proves the Lami’s theorem. & Q.18. Define equivatent force system. Ans, For a given coplanar force system, an equivalent force system is a combination of a single force passing through a given point and a moment about that point, which produces the same effect as the complete force system altogether. The force in the equivalent force system is the resultant of all forces acting on the body, and the momat is the sum of all the moments about that point. Hence an equivalent force system consists of — (A single force R passing through the given point (say 0), and Gi)_A single moment Mp about point O. 2.19, State principle of virtual work. What are the forces which can be omitted in virtual work method ? (RG.PV, June 2005) Or What is meant by principle of virtual work? (R.G.R.V., June 2002) Ans. When a force acts on a body, ittends to move the body in its direction, and work is said to be done. But if, the body is in equilibrium under the action of a system of forces, the total work done on the body is zero. But, if body in equilibrium is assumed to undergo an infinitesimally small imaginary displacement (known as virtual displacement), some work will imagined to be done. Such an imaginary work is called virtual work. Mathematically, Virtual work = Force * Virtual displacement BU =F x 5s % ‘The principle of virtual work states, \“If a system of forces acting on a body ora system of bodies be in equilibrium and oj if the System is supposed to undergo a small a virtual displacement, consistent with its | 4 o geometrical constraints, then the algebraic sum of virtual works done by all the forces of the system is zero”. Proof ~ Consider a particle acted upon by several forces F}, Fa, ... Fy as shown in fig. 1.20, at the point O. Let virtual displacement of particle due to these forces be ds so that it goes to O' Equilibrium of Forces and Couples 19 Now total virtual work is equal to the algebraic sum of virtual work of each of the force Fy, Pog Fy.

In general following forces can be omitted in forming the equation of virtual work — (Reactions at hinges which do not move Gi) “Reaction between smooth bodies, since the reaction is perpendicular to the direction of displacement.

Define a beam and give its classification. Ans. A beam isa structural member whose one dimension is very large as compared to other two and it is subjected to a system of external forces acting at right angles to its axis. Beams are suitably supported on one or more points. Effective length of the beam between two end supports is called as its span, Beams can be classified into following types (@ Cantilever Beam — A bean which is fixed or buiit in at one end and free at the other end as shown in fig. 2.1 (a) is called as a cantilever beam. In acantilever beam there is no reaction at its fixed end. —— (b) Simply Supported Beam (a) Cantilever Beam Fig. 2.1 Types of Beams (ii) Simply Supported Beam — & beam whose both ends rests freely ‘on supports as shown in fig. 2.1 (b) is known as a simply supported beam, (iii) Overhanging Beam ~ If one or both of the end portions of a beam extends beyond the supports as shown in fig. 2.2 (a), then beam is known as overhanging beam. (iv) Fixed Beam ~ If both ends of a beam are fixed or built in walls, as shown in fig. 2.2 (b), it is known as a fixed beam. (%) Continuous Beam — & beam which is having more than two supports as shown in fig. 2.2 (c), is known as a continuous beam, The supports at the extreme left and right are called end supports, while all other supports are called as intermediate supports54 Engineering Mechanics Simply Supported Overhanging Portion Portion B Support (a) Overhanging Beam (0) Continuous Beam (0) Fixed Beam Fig. 2.2 Types of Beams 0.2. Discuss the following ~ (Various types of loads on beams (ii) Types of supports. Ans. (). Types of Loads on Beams —Some commonly applied types of transversal loads on horizontal beams are as follows ~ (a) Concentrated or Point Load ~ A load which can assumed to be acting at a point is known as a point or concentrated load. In actual practice the load is distributed over a small area, but this'area is so small in ‘comparison to the length of the beam, it may be neglected. A simply supported beam carrying a point load is shown in fig. 2.3 (a). wy, W: t 4 A ! ! 7B a (a) Concentrured Load (c) Uniformly Varying Load Ry (0) Uniformly Distributed Load (d) Triungutar Load Fig. 2.3 Types of Loading (b) Uniformity Distributed toad ~ A load w a beam in such a manner that rate of loading remains uniform along the length of the beam (i.e. each unit length is loaded to the same extent), is known as, uniformly distributed load (U.D.L.). In case of U.D.L.,'the total load can assumed to be act at the C.G. of the loaded portion of beam. A simply supported beam carrying a uniformly distributed load is shown in fig. 2.3 (b). ich is spread over Shear Force, Bending Moment and Trusses 55 (©) Uniformly Varying Load ~ A load which is spread over a beam in such a manner that rate of loading varies from point to point along the length of the beam as shown in fig. 2.3 (c), is'known as uniformly varying load. When load varies from zero at one end to maximum at the other end, as shown in fig, 2.3 (d), the load is known as triangular load. Total load in such cases is taker equal to the area of the triangle, and this load is assumed to be acting at the C.G. of the triangle. (@) Beams Subjected to a Couple — Sometimes beam is subjected to a clockwise or anticlockwise couple along with loads. In this case, magnitude of the couple is taken into considerations while calculating reactions. But this does not involve any kind of load, combination of two or more of above A beam may carry any one mentioned loads, (Gi) Types of Supports ~ Surports which are usually provided on beam are of the following types — (@) Roller Support ~ This type of support is mainly used for ster! trusses of the bridges, which have one of their end supported on rollers. ‘These soliers allows the movement of the beam towards left or right on account of expansion or contraction, due to change of temperature. The reaction in such a support is always perpendicular to the plane of motion of rollers. (b) Hinged Support ~ In such a case the end of the beam is hinged to the support. Stee! trusses, which has roller support on one end always has hinged support at other end to make the beam stable, The reaction at hinged end has nso componens, ie. horizontal and vertical. Moment at hinged end is always zero. (6) Fixed Support ~ This type of support is used for fixed beams or cantilever beams, this does not allow any movement of beam. It offers three rexction components, ie. horizontal, vertical and a moment. Q.3. Define shear force and bending moement for a beam. What are shear force and bending moment tagrams ? Ans, Shear Force ~ the shear force at any point along a loaded beam may be defined as the algebraic sum of all vertical forces acting on either side of the point on the beam. The net effect of shear force is to shear off the beam atong the point at which it is acting, Shear force is taken +ve, when it Produces a clockwise moment and it is taken -ve, when it produces an anticlockwise moment,56. Engineering Mechanics Bending Moment ~ Bending moment at any point along a loaded beam may be defined as the algebraic sum of the moments due to all vertical forces ‘acting on either side of the point on the beam. The bending moment tries to bend the beam, Clockwise moments due to loads acting to the left of the section are assuimed to be +ve, while anticlockwise moments are taken —ve. Shear Force and Bending Moment Diagrams ~ A shear force diagram is.a diagram which shows the shear force at every section of the beam due to transverse loading on it, Its base line is equal to the span of the beam drawn on a suitable scale. For point loads, S.F. diagram has straight horizontal lines, for U.DLL,, it has straight inclined lines, and for uniformly varying loads it has a parabolic curve ‘A bending moment diagram is a diagram which shows the bending moment at every section of the beam due to transverse loading on it. In case of a simply supported beam bending moment is zero at the ends, and for a cantilever it is zero at the free end. For point loads, B.M. diagram has sraight inclined lines, for U.D.Lay it has parabolic curve and for uniformly varying load it has cubie curve. Q4. Explain the sign conventions used for drawing shear force and bending moment diagrams, Ans. For drawing shear force and bending moment diagrams, first of all an arbitrary section is chosen. After that following sign conventions are used — For Shear Force ~ Force acting in right hand side of the section in upward direction is taken negative, and force in right hand side of the seetion acting in downward direction is taken as positive. Similarly a force in left hand side of the section i taken positive, ifitis acting in upward direction and itis taken as negative ifit is acting in downward direction. This sign convention is shown in fig. 2.4 (a. oo eS bee RM ee aves syeSk—Saezing Moment Moment (a) For Shear Force (b) For Bending Moment Fig, 2.4 Sign Conventions For Bending Moment - First of all remove all the toads and reactions from any one side of the section.

A, ‘Shear Force, Bending Moment and Trusses 57 bending moment which is causing convexity upwards is taken negative and called as hogging bending moment [refer fig. 2.4 (b)]. In general the moment due to every downward force is negative and the moment due to every upward force is positive. QS. What important points must be kept in mind while drawing the shear force and bending moment diagrams ? Ans. The following points must be kept in mind while drawing the shear force and bending moment diagrams — (® First of all, consider either the left or the right hand side of the section. __ (il)_ Add the forces (including reaction) normal to the beam on one of the side. If right hand side of the section is chosen, a force acting downwards is taken positive while a force acting upwards is negative. If the left hand side of the section is chosen, a force acting upwards is taken positive while a force acting downwards is negative. (iii) The positive values of shear force and bending moment are plotted above the base line, and negative values below the base line. (iv) The shear force diagram will dectease or increase suddenly shown by a vertical straight line at a section when there is a vertical point load. ()_ The shear force between any two vertical loads will be constant are hence the shear force diagram between two vertical loads wil be a horizontal ine. (vi) The bending moment at the two supports of a simply supported bbeam and also at the free end of a cantilever will be 2210.0 2.6. Deduce relationship between shear force and bending moment. Ans, Fig. 2.5 shows a beam, carrying a uniformly distributed load of w per unit length. Now consider the equilibrium of the portion of beam between sections 1-1 and 2-2, a short length 8x of beam at a distance x from end A. o @58 Engineering Mechanics ‘The forces and moments acting on the fength 5x of the beam are — (i) The force § acting vertically upwards at the section 1-1 Gi). The force $ + 8S acting vertically downwards at the section 2-2. Gii) The load w * &x acting downwards. (iv) The moments M and M + 8M acting at section 1-1 and section 2-2 respectively. ‘The portion of the beam of length dx is in equilibrium. Hence, resolving the forces acting on this part vertically, we get $ —(S + 88)=~ wx as oa 4s vr cane The above equation shows that the rate of change of shear force is equal to the rate of loading.

But the S.F. does not change at the section of the couple because there is no change in load. But for calculating the reactions, the magnitude of the couple is taken into account. The sudden change in B.M. at the section of the couple is obtained by calculating B.M. separately with the help of both the reactions. 0.9. What do you mean by the point of contraflexure ? Ans. An overhanging beam can be considered as a combination of a simply supported beam and a cantilever beam. As we know that the bending moment in a cantilever beam is negative, whereas that in a simply supported beam is positive. Thus, in an overhanging beam, there will be a point, where the bending moment will change its sign from negative to positive or vice-versa. Such a point where the bending moment changes sign is known as point of contraflexure. ‘The point of contraflexure is also called the point of inflexion or virtual hinge. The point of contraflexure can be determined by equating the bending moment equation in terms of x equal'to zero for part of beam length where bending moment is likely to change sign. Q.10.

Various members of a truss are joined together by riveting, welding or by nuts and boits. However, for calculation purpose, joints are assumed to be hinged or pin-jointed. A truss is, a rigid structure, which provides great strength over large span of structure. ‘Thus, it is more practical and economical than other soild types of structure ‘A truss is mainly used for supporting roofs of buildings, television towers, antennas, bridges, etc. ‘A truss is also called as a frame or framed structure. If the centre lines of the member of a truss lie in one plane, the truss i called a plane truss. If these lines do not lie in one plane, as in the case of the shear legs, the truss is called a space truss. Q.12. State the assumptions made in the analysis of a plane truss. (R.G.RY, Feb. 2005, Dec. 2003) Ans, Following assumptions ar made, while calculating forces in various members of a plane truss ~ P= A relation between number of joints Gj) and number of member (n), for a Just rigid truss is given as a If the number of members are more than (2j — 3), the truss is said to be over rigid and if, that is less than (2j — 3), the truss is known as under rigid. Examples are shown in fig. 2.17 (a), (b) and (c).. a=6, a> Gj-3) (c) Over Rigid Truss (a) Just Rigid Truss (6) Under Rigid Truss Fig. 2.1774 Engineering Mechanics Q.14. Discuss in brief the analytical methods for determining the force in the members of a plane truss. Ans. There are following two methods which are used to determine the force in the members of a plane truss ~ Method of joints (ii) Method of sections. () Method of Joints —\n this method, firstly reactions at the supports are determined and then, each and every joint is treated as a free body in equilibrium. The forces in various members can be determined by applying conditions of equilibrium, i.e, EV = 0, and EH = 0, or by applying Lami’s, theorem. The joint should be selected in such a way that at any time, it should not contain more than two members, in which forces are unknown. ‘The force in the members will be compressive, if the member pushes the joint to which it is connected, while the force in the member will be tensile, if the member pulls the joint to which itis connected. The arrows are marked on the members to show their effect on joints. If a member AB is under tension the arrows are directed away from A and B as shown in fig. 2.18 (a). When AB is under compression the arrows are directed towards A and B as shown in fig. 2.18(b). 4+ (4) Member Under Tension 8 (8) Member Under Compression Fig. 2.18 (i). Method of Sections — inthis method an imaginary section is drawn which divides the iruss in two parts. This method is also based upon the principle of equilibrium of a system. If a system is in equilibrium under the application of laods then any part or section of the system will also be in equilibrium. Section line should be drawn in such a way that it does not cut more than three members with unknown forces in them. Because there are only three equations of equilibrium (ZF, = 0, ZFy = 0 and EM = 0), from which only three unknowns can be determined. After dividing the truss in two parts any one part (left or right) can be analysed by applying conditions of equilibrium, which is in equilibrium under the action of external loads and the forces exerted upon it by the members cut by thé section. ‘This is a simple and direct method. This method is particularly useful, when the forces in a few members are required. This can be done very easily by passing a section line through member or members in which forces have to bbe determined, without determining the forces in all the members. (RGR, Dec. 2001) Q.15. Wrie short ntoe on Maxwell diagram. Or Describe graphical method of truss analysis. Shear Force, Bending Moment and Trusses 75 Ans. However, analytical methods of truss analysis gives exact results, but method of joints is a lengthy process and method of sections is tedious one. To overcome these difficulties graphical method of analysis can be used This method is quite simple and gives reasonably accurate results. Graphical analysis of a truss is done in following two steps - @ Construction of Space Diagram — Firstly, the truss is drawn on @ suitable scale with all external loads and reactions on it. Reactions then can be determined analytically or graphically. Various forces are now named according to Bow’s notation. (Construction of Vector Diagram or Maxwell Diagram — Vector diagram of force polygon is also known as the Maxwell diagram. To draw the Maxwell diagram a joint with not more than two unknown forces is chosen and force polygon for that joint is drawn on a suitable scale. Now move around the sides of the force polygon in order to determine the nature of force in the members at that joint. Arrows are marked on the members in space diagram to show the nature of force. ‘Now select another joint with not more than two unknown forces and draw the corresponding force polygon in continuation with the first polygon. Nature of force in members meeting at that joint are marked, Repeat the procedure for whole truss. Now magnitudes of forces in the members can be determined by measuring the sides of Maxwell diagram, Q.16. Write the advantages of method of sections and graphical method of analysis of a truss. (R.GPY., June 2004) Ans. Advantges of Method of Sections ~ Method of joints is a lengthy process, as we have to proceed all the joints one by one. If we have to determine the forces only in few members of truss, method of sections is very convenient, because the members in which forces have to be determined need to be considered only, Advantages of Graphical Analysis ~ Method of joints involves a long process and method of sections is very much complex. These difficulties can be overcome by using the graphical analysis. It is a simple and comparatively fool proof method, which gives reasonably accurate results. NUMERICAL PROBLEMS Prob.l.

FRICTION soo SUBJECTIVE QUESTIONS Q.1. Explain the following terms - (Friction (ii) Limiting frietion, and (iii) Coefficient of friction. i Ans. (i) Friction — When two bodies kept in physical contact moves, or tends to move with respect to each other, a tangential force is found to set up at the contact surface which opposes this relative motion. This tangential opposing force is known as force of friction or simply friction. Therefore friction can be i defined as the contact resistance developed between the contacting surfaces when one of the bodies moves, or tends to move, over the other. ‘This frictional force is set up duc to interlocking of microscopic irregularaties which exists even on a highly smooth surface. When one of the body moves or tends to move, these interlocked irregularities oppose this motion and thus set, up a tangential force in a direction opposite to the movement of the body. Although friction forces are always accompanied by loss of energy, but they are often found to be useful. For exampie, without friction it would be impossible for us to walk, ride a vehicle or pick some object from floor. Similarly, friction is also important in machinery applications like brakes, ete. (ii) Limiting Friction — When a body lying over another body is being pushed gently, it daes not move, due to the frictional force which oppose its motion. When we push the body little harder it still remains unmoved. This shows that the force of friction has increased itself to become equal and opposite to the applied force. Therefore, force of friction can adjust its magnitude, 50 as, to become exactly equal to the force applied to produce motion. However, there is a limit beyond which force of friction cannot increase. When applied force exceeds this limit, the body begins to move. This maximum, value of frictional force, just before the body begins to move, is known as limiting friction.130. Engineering Mechanics (iii) Coefficient of Friction ~ Coefficient of friction (1) can be defined as. the ratio of the limiting frictional force (F) to the normal reaction (R). Mathematically, e ean When surfaces in contact are stationary, the coefficient of friction is known as coefficient of static friction and denoted by fiz. When surfaces in contact are moving relative to each other the frictional force decreases somewhat from the limiting static frictional force. In this case coefficient of friction is known as coefficient of kinetic friction (4). Q.2. Classify various types of friction. Ans, In general, friction can be classified as — (Dry friction (ii) Fluid friction. Dry Friction or solid friction or Coulomb friction is the frictional force which exists between two dry surfaces, which move or tends to move relative to each other. When surfaces in contact are well lubricated with oil or grease, the friction force which developed between the thin adjacent layers of fluid is known as fluid friction. Friction can also be classified according to the type of motion between the contact surfaces, into the following two types ~ (Static friction ¢ Dynamic friction. @._ Static Friction — When a force is applied to a body, it rem rest initially, due to friction. The frictional force acting in this condition is known as static friction. Thus, static friction is the friction experienced by a body, when it is at rest. (ii) Dynamic Friction — The friction‘experienced by a body when, it is in motion, is known as dynamic or kinetic friction. Dynamic friction can be of two types (a) Sliding friction (b) Rolling friction. The frictional force which set up due to sliding of one body over the other is known as sliding friction and when this is caused by the rolling of one body over the other it is known as rolling friction. 0.3.

Ans, Coulomb in 1781, on the basis of his experiments gives some laws of friction for dry or solid friction. These laws can be classified as ~ (i) Laws of static friction Gi) Laws of dynamic friction. (Laws of Static Friction ~ (a) The frictional force always acts in a direction opposite to that in which body tends to move, (b) The magnitude of force of friction is exactly equal to the force applied, as long as the body is at rest. (c) The limiting friction force bears a constant ratio to the normal reaction between two surfaces. Mathematically, Fla stant, E = Consta (d) The limiting frictional force is independent of the shape and area of surfaces in contact. But, it depends upon the nature (smoothness! roughness) of surfaces in contact, (ii) Laws of Dynamic Friction — (a) The frictional force always acts in a direction opposite to that in which body is moving, (b) The magnitude of dynamic friction bears a constant ratio to the normal reaction between the two surfaces but this ratio is slightly less than that in case of limiting friction. (c) The force of friction remains constant for moderate speeds but it decreases slightly with the increase of speed. (d) Dynamic friction is increased by reversal of motion. (e) Dynamic friction decreases with time, due to heating of 1g surfaces. rubbil Q.4.

Discuss equilibrium of a body resting on a rough inclined plane under various conditions of applied force. Ans. Consider a body of weight W resting on a rough plane inclined at an angle o: with the horizontal as shown in fig. 3.5. When angle of inclination is less than angle of repose (or angle of friction) the body will remain in equilibrium. In this condition an upward or downward force is required to move the body up or down, But, when angle of inclination of plane is more than the angle of friction, the body will start to move down, thus an upward force will be required to resist the motion of the body. This force may be applied in three ways, which are (i) Force applied at an angle to the inclined plane. Gi) Force applied along the inclined plane. Gili) Force applied horizontally. (9) Force Applied at An Angle to the Inclined Plane ~ Consider a body of weight W, resting on a rough plane inclined at an angle a with the horizontal, Let_R = Normal reaction t= Coefficient of friction between the body and plane = Angle of friction, Now following two cases are possible — (a) Body is at the point of slidirig downwards.

Ravishankar University, Raipur, 2004)138 Engineering Mechanics Or Obtain expression for efficiency of a screw jack for raising a toad. (R.G.P¥., June 2005) Ans. A screw jack as shown in fig. 3.9 works on the principle of screw friction is a device used for lifting or lowering heavy loads by applying comparatively smaller efforts at the end of lever.

Write short note on ~ Wedge friction. Ans. A wedge is usually a piece of metal or wood of triangular or trapezoidal sross-section. Wedges are generally used to move the heavy blocks by applying, 1 force which is usually smaller than the weight of the block. They are also sed for small adjustments in the position of heavy pieces of machinery. Consider a triangular wedge ABC as shown in fig. 3.11 is used to lift the body DEFG. If force P applied at the face BC of he wedge is just sufficient to lift the body, he wedge will move towards left and the oad will move up. There will be sliding long three planes AB, AC and DE. Hence, here will be three normal reactions on the % lanes AB, AC and DE, as shown in fig. Fig. 3.11 Wedge Friction 1.12 (a) and (b). The three reactions and the horizongiiitorce (P) may now be found out by onsidering the equilibrium of wedge and bleck separately.140. Engineering Mechanics Fig. 3.12 Q.10. What are belt and rope drives. Ans, Belt and rope drives are mechanical power transmission systems. ‘They transmits the power from one shaft to another due to friction between belt/rope and shaft pulley. Belts are used to transmit power from one shaft to another, when centre distance betweert tirem is large. The belts used may be flat or V shaped as shown in fig. 3 13. Fist Bett V-belt roo cts (@ Flat Bett (6) V-belt Fig, 3.13 Type of Belts The flat belts are mostly used to transmit a moderate amount of power, when the pulleys are not more than 10 m apart. The V-belts are used to transmit a large amount of power from one pulley to another, when two pulleys are very near to each other. Flat belt drives can again be classified into two types — @_ Open belt drive, and Gi) Cross belt drive. (Open Belt Drive The open belt drive as shown in fig. 3.14 (a) is. used with shafts arranged in parallel and rotating in same direction. (ii) Cross Belt Drive ~ The crossed or twist belt drive as shown in fig. 3.14 (b) is used when shafts are arranged in parallel and rotating in opposite direction. . Friction 141 Driven Stack Side Driver Driven Driver (6) Cross Belt Drive (a) Open Belt Drive Fig. 3.14 Rope drives are used for transmitting a large amount of power over a considerable length. The flat belts cannot be used for such applications as they can transmit only a moderate amount of power for a distance upto 8 m, only. If large amount of power is to be transmitted, it would result in excessive belt cross-section. While rope drives can be used successfully over a large distance. The reason behind this is that there is a firm frictional grip between the rope and the pulley as rope runs between the grooves of a pulley instead of over it as in the case of flat belt drives. The groove is made approximately V- shaped. The rope is made to contact with side faces of groove and not at the bottom to reduce excessive wear. Q.11. For a belt drive, derive the relation between tight and slack side tensions in terms of coefficient of friction between belt and pulley surface and angle of lap.

(R.G.PV., Dec. 2004) _AnsCentrifagal Tension = What Biricle of mass m rotates in a circular path of radits r with a uniform’ velocity ¥, a centrifugal force of magnitude 2 $V" gets on it in radially outward direction. As belt runs continuously over r the pulleys, some centrifugal force is caused, whose effect is to increase the tension in both tight and slack sides. This additional tension caused by centrifugal force is called as centrifugal tension, ‘The centrifugal tension depends upon the speed of the belt. At speeds below 10 mis its effect is very small and may be neglected, butat speeds more than 10 ns its effect have to be considered. Consider a small portion MN of the belt subtending an angle 49 at the centre of the pulley as shown in fig. 3.16, Let m= Mass of the belt per unit length v= Linear velocity of belt = Radius of the pulley over which the belt runs Te = Centrifugal tension acting tangentially at PQ.

Engineering Mechanics wy g where w = Weight of the belt per metre length, g = Gravitational constint = 9.81 mis?, or Tes Initial Tension — Belts transmit the power from driver shaft to driven shaft by means of passing over the two pulleys which are keyed to driver and driven shaft. Therefore, for power transmission there should be a firm frictional rip between the belt and the pulleys. To increase this frictional grip, two ends of the belt are tightened before joining them. Thus, initially even when the pulleys are stationary, belt is subjected to some tension, called as initial tension. Let To = Initial tension in the belt T, and T = Tension in the tight and slack sides of the belt ©. = Coefficient of increase of belt length per unit force. When pulleys starts to rotate, tensions in both (tight and slack) sides will be changed. The length of tight side of the belt increases until the pull is increased from Ty to T; and slack side shortens until the pull decreased from Ty to T;. Increase of tension in tight side =T1~To and decrease of tension in slack side =To- Tz ‘Now increase in length of the belt on tight side = a (T, ~ To) Similarly, decrease in length of the belt on slack side = a (To ~ T2) Fora perfectly elastic material, the length of the belt should remain constant either itis in rest or in motion.

Explain the methods of determining moment of inertia of plane area. Ans. There are two methods which can be used to determine moment of inertia of a plane area (or of a body). They are ~ (i) Method of integration (ii) Routh’s rule. (Y Method of Integration —Consider a plane area as shown in fig. 4.2, whose moment of inertia about XX-axis and Y Y-axis have to be determined.

(R.G.PV., Dec. 2001) Or ‘State and prove parallel axis theorem of moment of inertia. (RG.BY., June 2005, June 2003) Ans, Parallel axis theorem states that, “moment of inertia of an area about an axis is equal to the sum of (i) moment of inertia about an axis passing through the centroid and parallel to the given axis, and (ii) the product of area and square of the distance between the two parallel axes”. Thus, if Ig is the moment of inertia of an area about an axis passing through the centroid of given area and h is the distance between centroid (or C.G.) and axis AB about which moment of inertia has to be determined, then Ing Ig + Ak?

Axes for which the product of inertia is zero are called principal axes. As product of inertia of an area become zero for the axes of symmetry, therefore, axes of symmetry are the principal axes. There are two principal axes, namely — Major principal axis, and minor principal axis.

Write short note on ~ Kinematics and kinetics. (R.G.PV:, June 2005) Ans. The subject of engineering mechanics can be divided inte two branches ~ Statics and Dynamics. Statics deals with the study of forces and their effects produced on stationary bodies. While dynamics deals with motion of the rigid bodies and the forces producing this motion. Dynamics may be further sub- divided into kinematics and kinetics. ‘The study of the motion of the body without regard to its mass or to the forces acting on the body, is called kinematics. In other words, kinematics is the study of geometry and time dependent aspects of motion without considering the forces causing the motion. The word kinematics is derived from a greek word ‘kinema’ means motion. Kinematics deals with the determination of ion of body, its velocity and acceleration at any instant of time. Kinematics find its application in design of the trajectories of aircrafts, missiles, etc., and design of gears, cams, connecting rods, etc. Kinetics is that branch of mechanics which deals with the problems which require the determination of the effect of forces on the motion of a body, or conversely the forces causing certain motions. In other words. kinetics is the study of relations between the physical properties of the body (length, breadth, ‘mass, etc.), the physical forces acting on the body, and its resulting motion. Q.2. Define motion and its types. ‘Ans, When a body changes its position with respect to the time, itis said to be in motion. Almost everything in this universe is in motion, e.g. a car moves on earth’s surface, earth itself is in motion as it rotates at its own axis and move around the sun. The sun is also moving relative to other stars which in tum are moving in space. If the size of a bouy is negligible in comparison to its range of motion then that body is called as a particle, such as rockets, projectiles or different planets, can be considered as particles. ee:214 Engineering Mechanics Motion of a particle is always measured with respect to certain reference frame. If measurements are made with respect to a fixed reference frame, the motion is said to be aboslute. When measurements are made with respect to a moving reference frame, the motion is said to be relative. Depending upon the path traced hy the particle motion can be classified as @_ Reetitinear Motion ~ Motion of a particle along a straight line is called rectilinear motion (refer fig. 5.1) a 1 Rectilinear Motion Fig. Fig. 5.2 Curvilinear Motion (ii) Curvilinear Motion ~ Motion of a particle other than a straight line is known as curvilinear motion (refer fig. 5.2). Motion of a particle can also be classified as plane or spatial motion. Ifthe path of the motion of a particle lies ina plane, itis called as plane motion, «.2. the motion of a freeiy falling body. Ifthe motion of a particle is not conta ina plane, itis said to have spatial motion, e.g. motion of an aeroplane fs: at different heights and in different directions. Q.3. Derive equations of motion for a particle having rectilinear motion under uniform acceleration, Ans. Consider the motion of a particle under uniform acceleration beeween points © and P, as shown in fig. 5.3. es Fig. 5.3 Motion under Uniform Acceleration Let _u= Initial velocity at point O v = Final velocity at point P t= Time taken by particle to change its velocity from u to v a= Uniform acceleration 5 = Distance travelled in 1 seconds.

Thus, equations of motion can be written as, user 1 he= utter? vi= 4 gh where h = Vertical distance traversed by the particle. is taken positive above ‘ground level and negative below ground level. Q-4. State ant! explain Newton’s laws of motion. Ans, There are three laws which has been given by Newton for linear motion, These laws are as follows216 Engineering Mechanics Newton's First law of motion states, “every body First Law ~ - unless it is acted continues its state of rest or uniform motion ina straight line, external force”. “Pon ne aw also sometimes called as Prinlple of Inertia as body continues its state of rest or uniform motion due to its inertia. : ; For example, if a book is lying on a table it will remain at rest until it is lifted by some external force. Similarly, ifa body is moving in a straight line it will continue its motion (provided there is no friction) unless it is stopped by some external force. (ii) Second Law — It states, “the rate of change of momentum (or acceleration) is directly proportional to the impressed force, and takes place in the direction of straight line in which the force acts.” Consider a body moving in a straight line. Let_m = Mass of the body v= Velocity of the body F = Force acting on the body. ‘As we know, momentum is the product of mass of a body and its velocity. ‘Then, according to the Newton's second law of motion, we have a ce S¢mvy Foc a (my) 4 p= kL (mw F= k2 (mw) ‘As mass of the body remains constant, thus, av av F= km&Y =kma G at "dt ) where k is a constant of proportionality, whose value depends upon the units chosen, If unit of the force be so chosen that unit force acting on unit mass produces unit acceleration, then from equation (ii), k=1 Rs F=ma nit) Ifa number of forces acting on the body then equation (ii) can be written as, EF=ma where ZF = Resultant of all external forces. In S.L. units force is measured in Newtons. A Newton can be defined as the force which while acting upon a body of mass of 1 kg, produces an acceleration of 1 m/sec2, in the direction in which it acts. If in equation (i) F becomes zero, then Sew =0 or my = Constant Kinematics of Rigid Bodies in Motion 217 Hence a body continues to move with constant momentum when there is no external force. This shows that the first law is a particular case of the second law. (iti) Third Law ~ It states, * and opposite reaction.” Here action is the force which causing the motion and reaction is the force which is equal in magnitude to the applied force but acts in opposite direction. For example, when a bullet is fired from a gun, it moves out with a great velocity, and the reaction of the bullet in opposite direction, gives an unpleasant shock to the man holding the gun. every action there is always an equal @.5. Write short notes on work, power and energy giving relation between them. (RG.PV., Feb. 2005) Ans. Work ~ When a force acts on a body and causes it to move some distance, work is said to be done by the force. Work done by a constant force is equal to the product of the force and displacement of its point of application in the direction of force as shown in fig. 5.4 (a). Mathematically, work done by the force Force * Distance moved W.D. = Fx When the body does not move in the direction of force as shown in fig, 5.4(b), work done by force F is given as W.D. = Component of force in the direction of motion x Distance moved W.D. = F cos 0 x x (@ (b) Fig. 5.4 Work done is usually measured in N-m, which can be defined as the work done by a force of | Newton to displace a body through I m. It is also called as Joule (J). Hence | Joule = 1 N-m Sometimes a force instead of being actually displacing a body may cause extension or compression of a spring or it may stretch the body or it may Penetrate into the body. In all such cases force is assumed to be variable and average force forthe purpose of calculating work done is taken as half ofthe force. a Ce219.

Mathematically, Power = Work done per second en Force x Distance Time es shh ASE tsh® = Force » Distance Sue 6.9 Time 085 Force Velocity yyQs" Fv The force and velocity should be in same direction, In S.L. units power is measured in watts (W), which is equal to 1 N-m/s or 1 i. In metric units power is measured in horse power, which is equal to 746 W, ie. T | | I hp. = 746 W or 0.746 kW Energy ~ Energy may be defined as the capacity of doing work. It is the product of power and time. In S.1. units it is expressed in N-m or J (same as that of work done). Energy may exists in various forms such as mechanical, chemical, electrical, heat, light, etc. Mechanical energy again can be classified into following types — (Potential energy (ii) Kinetic energy. | (Potential Energy — Potential energy, is the energy possessed by a body, by virtue of its position with respect to any given reference or datum. This is also known as the position or datum energy. Work done in raising a body of mass m to a height h above the datum level is = Weight of body = Vertical height (mg) x h = mgh ‘This work done is stored in the body as potential energy, i.e. PE. = mgh ‘This body when falling on earth’s surface can do some useful work equal to mgh.

Explain D’Alembert’s principle. How is it applied in solving problems related to dynamics ? (RG.PY, June 2005) Or What is D’Alembert’s principle ? (RG.BY, Dec. 2002) Or Explain D’Alembert’s principle. How does it differ from Newton's law ? Ans. Problems of dynamics can be solved by Newton's second law of motion which correlates the external forces acting on a body to the acceleration produced as a result of these forces. Analtemnative approach for solving such problems is given by D’Alembert in 1743, which is known as D’Alembert’s principle. This principle permits the solution of problems of dynamics by the method of statics. It states, “if'a rigid body is acted upon by a system of forces, this system may be reduced to a single resultant force whose magnitude, direction and line of action may be found out by the method of statics.” According to Newton’s second law of motion, we have EF=ma @ This eqaution can also be written as IF -ma=0 Ci) Here the equation (i) is equation of dynamics, while equation (ji) isan equation Of statics. In this equation the body is considered to be in equilibrium under the action of the real forces EF and the additonal force ma added to the system. This additional force ma is called inertia force and it acts in a direction opposite to that of acceleration. Due to this inertia force, body comes in a state of equilibrium and this artificial state of equilibrium is known as dynamic equilibrium. Thus apparent transformation of problems of dynamics to the problems of staties by introducing inertia force in a direction opposite to the direction of acceleration is known as D’Alembert’s principle o: principle of kinostatics. Q.7. Write short note on — Work-energy principle, Ans. Consider a boy of mass m which is initially at rest, subjected to an uniform acceleration force F and after covering a distances, its velocity becomes v.

Amu? wd.= 5 i or W.D. = (KE), ~ (KE) W.D.=A (KE) Hence, we can conclude that the work done by a force on a body in moving it through a distance is equal to the change in its kinetic energy. This is known as the work-energy principle. 0.8. Explain the following — () Conservation of energy (i) Impulse and momentum. (R.G.RV, Dec. 2004) ‘Ans. () Conservation of Energy ~ According to the principle of conservation of energy, energy can neither be created nor destroyed, it can only be transformed from one form to other. For example, output of a machine is always found to be less than its input. This is due to the reason that some amount of energy is used to overcome the machine friction. This energy although cannot do any usefull work, has not been destroyed, this energy converts into the heat energy at the bearings and other rubbing surfaces. ‘The principle of conservation of energy can also be stated as, “when a body moves under the action of conservative system of forces, the sum of its kinetic and potential energies remains y constant throughout its motion.” Consider a body of mass m is held at a height h as shown in fig. 5.5. Now consider the body is dropped from A, and B and C are the positons of body at different times. Now we will determine the total energy possessed by the body at all three positions.

PE.=0 Velocity at point C, will be Veh Liye t KE.= pry? =m@gh)=mgh Thus, total energy, Ee = PE. + K.E. =0+ mgh = meh ii) As we can see from equations (i), (i) and (iii), the total energy possessed by a body remains constant at all positions, This proves the principle of conservation of energy. (i) Impulse and Momentum — The impulse of a force on a body in a given time is equal to the product of the average force and the time during which it acts. Mathematically, Impulse = F x t222 Engineering Mechanics ‘The product of mass and velocity of a body is known as its momentum. Itean also be defined as the total motion possessed by the body. Mathematically, ‘Momentum = Mass * Velocity = mv This is also called as finear momentum and measured in kg-m/sec. Consider a high magnitude force acting on a body for a very smalll interval of time.

Explain law of conservation of momentum.(R.G.PY., Dec. 2004) Ans. Law of conservation of momentum states, “if the resultant of external forces acting on a Body or system of bodies is zero, then the linear momentum of the body or system of bodies remains constant both in magnitude and direction.” ‘According to Newton's second law of motion, a force is required to produce change in momentum. If there is no force the momentum will remain same. Mathematically, ~ a F= g-(mvy) sett Kinematics of Rigid Bodies in Motion 223 4 IF =0, then “(mv =0 ae or my = Constant or yyy = mvp If'two bodies of mass m, and my having velocities v; and v» respectively, ‘comes in contact for a small period. At the end of contact they will have the velocities v', and v’, respectively. Then according to law of conservation of momentum. myyy + mg = myv, + MV Law of conservation of momentum finds applications in problems related with rocket and jet propulsion, recoil of gun and collision of elastic bodies. Q.10. Under what circumstances Newton's laws of motion applicable ? When would you prefer the work-energy and impulse-momenturn formulation ? (RG.RY, June 2003) Ans. Newton's first and third iaws of motion are extensively used in solving problems related to Statics, where body is at rest, while Newton's second law of motion is used to solve the problems of Dynamics, where an externally applied force produces acceleration in the body. Work-energy principle is used to solve problems of dynamics of rigid bodies, which involves force, mass, velocity and distance. In this method there is no need to determine acceleration of the body and problem can be solved directly. Impulse-momentum principle is used to solve problems involving force, ‘mass, velocity and time. This principle is particular'y useful in solving following two particular types of problems ~ (i) When the force F is not known, or cannot be measured directly, eg. ina sudden blow of hammer. In this case duration of impact is very small, and hence the force during the impact is very large. (i) When the impressed force is so large, that it produces the permanent deformation in the body to which, it is applied. Energy which is fost to produce deformation cannot be calculated exactly, hence principle of conservation of energy cannot be applied to solve such problems. Q.11. Define angular momentum and state principle of conservation of angular momentum. Ans. The product of mass moment of inertia and angular velocity of a rotating body is known as angular momentum or moment of momentum, If be the moment of inertia of a body rotating at an angular velocity of o, then angular momentum of the body is =Lo224 Engineering Mechanics,. Principle of conservation of angular momentum states, “if a system of two rotating bodies are brought in contact for a short time period, and no external torque is applied to the system during this time, then resultant angular impulse on the system is zero.” Iftwo bodies having moments of inertia 1, and I, are rotating with angular velocites «; and a respectively, are brought in contact for a short period. And at-the end of the period of contact their velocities become 0’, and a'; respectively, then from principle of conservation of angular momentum, we have Hoyt loz = ho!) + ho’ Q.12. Write short note on the following ~ (Q Angular imputse-momentum principle (ii) Kinetic energy of rotation, Ans. () Angutar Impulse-momentum Principle ~ Consider a body of mass moment of inertia 1 initially rotating at speed «, rad/s, and due to a torque applied its speed changes to , rad/s. Thus, for rotary motion torque can be defined as, “the rate of change’of angular momentum with respect to the time.” Mathematically, ‘Torque = Change in angular momentum alae Time Jo ~1oy t or Myt = log ~ lo, where t= Time taken to change the velocity. In this equation, the term M,. t is known as the angular impulse. Thus, ‘Angular impulse = Change in angular momentum This is known as the angular imputse-momentum principle. (ii) Kinetic Energy of Rotation — Kinetic energy of rotation can be defined as the energy possessed by a body due to virtue of its motion of rotation. Considera rigid body rotating, about O as shown in fig. 5.6. Let dm be the elementary ‘mass of the body which is at a distance r from the O and rotating at an angular velocity ©.
