Principles of statics: Introduction to vector approach – free body diagrams – forces in plane – forces in space – concurrent forces – resolution of forces – equilibrium of particle.
Statics of rigid bodies in two dimensions and three dimensions: Moment of a force about a point – moment of a force about an axis – moment of a couple – equivalent force couple system – rigid body equilibrium – support reactions.
Applications of statics: Friction – contact friction problems. Analysis of trusses – method of joints – method of sections.
Properties of surfaces and solids – Centroid, Moment of inertia, Polar moment of inertia, Mass moment of inertia, Product of inertia and Principal moment of inertia.
Dynamics: Rectangular and cylindrical coordinate system – Combined motion of rotation and translation – Newton’s second law in rectilinear translation – D’Alembert’s principle – Mechanical vibration – Simple harmonic motion – Spring-mass model.
