FORCE (F)

Described as either push or pull that can cause a mass (body) to accelerate (cause of motion)

A vector quantity that is the product of mass (m) & acceleration (a).

F = m a

In MKS it is in unit : Newtons (N) , 1 N = 1 kg-m/s2

In CGS it is in unit : dynes , 1 dyne = 1 g-cm/s2

In English Units : Pound (₤ or lbs) , Pound-force (lbf)

W = mg W = mg θ

Weight is ALWAYS directed TOWARDS (attractive to) the earth, even if the surface is at an angle.

Weight is ALWAYS acting on the body

Forces acting along the length of an object

Common in ropes, cables, solid cylinders

TENSION (T)

Pull Force on an object. Its end effect is to STRETCH an object.

COMPRESSION (C)

Push Force on an object. Its end effect is to FLATEN an object.

- Compression usually is due to normal forces between two objects in contact

NEWTON’S FIRST LAW OF MOTION

“A body acted on by NO net force either stays motionless or moves, but with constant velocity

and zero acceleration”

NEWTON’S LAW OF MOTION

Page 11: -PHY10T3FCE&NSLM

NEWTON’S SECOND LAW OF MOTION

NEWTON’S LAW OF MOTION

“A body requires a net force to accelerate” “The acceleration is directly proportional to the net force but

inversely proportional to the body’s mass”

“The direction of the net force is the same as the direction of the acceleration”

Page 12: -PHY10T3FCE&NSLM

NEWTON’S THIRD LAW OF MOTION

“To every action there is always opposed an equal reaction, same in magnitude but opposite

in direction.”

EQUILIBRIUM – The effects of all forces acting on a single point on the body cancel one another. There is no change in motion

An object or body is at Equilibrium, when :

(1)The body stays at rest

OR

(2)The body moves in a straight line but in constant or uniform velocity (No acceleration)

For Both :

ΣFx = 0 & ΣFy = 0

Therefore : R = 0 or Fnet = 0

FIRST CONDITION OF EQUILIBRIUM (FCE)

Page 14: -PHY10T3FCE&NSLM

FREE BODY DIAGRAM (FBD)

Used to analyze forces acting on a body by isolating the body with all forces acting on it.

Steps

1. A. Represent the object as a point mass

B. If it is a system (multiple objects), a certain point on it will be indicated for reference, use this as the “point mass”.

2. Draw ALL forces ACTING ON the body from this point

Internal – Weight External – Applied Force, Friction Normal Force (Coming from Other Body in contact), Tension (Always away from the body)

3. Don’t forget to show also the angle of the force (if angled).

Substitute all given values :

a = – 0.259m/s2 The negative sign means that the assumed direction of “a” was wrong. Hence it should be to the right :
