    4.1 Basic of Forces and Free Body Diagram

    Weight, is defined as the force exerted on a body under gravitational

    field.

    It is a vector quantity.

    It is dependant on where it is measured, because the value ofgvaries at different localities on the earths surface.

    It always directed toward the centre of the earth or in the same

    direction of acceleration due to gravity, g.

    The S.I. unit is kg m s-2 orNewton (N).

    Tension, T

    The tension force is the force that is transmitted through a

    string, rope, cable or wire when it is pulled tight by forcesacting from opposite ends. The tension force is directed

    along the length of the wire and pulls equally on the objects

    on the opposite ends of the wire.

    Normal (reaction) force,

    is defined as a reaction force that exerted by the surface to

    an object interact with it and the direction always

    perpendicular to the surface.

    An object lies at rest on a flat horizontal surface as shown in

    Figure 4.2.

    Friction

    is defined as a force that resists the motion of one surface

    relative to another with which it is in contact. is independent of the area of contact between the two surfaces..

    is directly proportional to the reaction force.

    OR

    Coefficient of friction, is defined as the ratio between frictional force to reactionforce.

    OR

    is dimensionless and depends on the nature of the surfaces.

    There are three types of frictional force :

    Static,fs

    (frictional force act on the object before its move)

    Kinetic,fk (frictional force act on the object when its move)

    Rolling,fr (frictional force act on the object when its rolling)

    Caution:

    The direction of the frictional force exerted by a surfaceon an object is always in the opposite direction of the

    motion.

    The frictional and the reaction forces are always

    perpendicular.

    PHYSICS CHAPTER 4

    Example 4.3

    A dock worker loading crates on a ship finds that a 15 kg crate,initially at rest on a horizontal surface, requires a 50 N

    horizontal force to set it in motion. However, after the crate is in

    motion, a horizontal force of 30 N is required to keep it moving

    with a constant speed. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 ms-2.

    Find the coefficient of kinetic friction.

    11

    Solution:

    Mass of crate = m = 15 kg

    Force required to set the crate in motion = F1 = 50 N

    Force required to keep the crate in moving at constant speed =

    fk = 30 N

    Acceleration of gravity = g = 9.81 ms-2

    Problem solving strategies for equilibrium of a

    particle

    The following procedure is recommended when dealing with

    problems involving the equilibrium of a particle:

    Sketch a simple diagram of the system to help

    conceptualize the problem.

    Sketch a separate free body diagram for each body. Choose a convenient coordinate axes for each body and

    construct a table to resolve the forces into their

    components.

    Newtons 2nd law of motion restates that The acceleration of

    an object is directly proportional to the nett force acting on

    it and inversely proportional to its mass.OR

    One newton(1 N) is defined as the amount of nett force that

    gives an acceleration of one metre per second squared to abody with a mass of one kilogramme.

    OR 1 N = 1 kg m s-2

    Notes:

    is a nett force or effective force or resultant force. The force which causes the motion of an object.

    If the forces act on an object and the object moving at

    uniform acceleration (not at rest or not in the

    equilibrium) hence

    When a book is placed on the table. (refer to Figure 4.11)

    If a car is accelerating forward, it is because its tyres arepushing backward on the road and the road is pushingforward on the tyres.

    A rocket moves forward as a result of the push exerted on it

    by the exhaust gases which the rocket has pushed out.

    In all cases when two bodies interact, the action and reactionforces act on different bodies.

    Applications of Newtons 2nd law of motion

    From the Newtons second law of motion, we arrived at equation

    There are five steps in applying the equation above to solveproblems in mechanics:

    Identify the object whose motion is considered.

    Determine the forces exerted on the object.

    Draw a free body diagram for each object. is defined as a diagram showing the chosen body by

    itself, with vectors drawn to show the magnitude anddirections of all the forces applied to the body by theother bodies that interact with it.

    Choose a system of coordinates so that calculations may besimplified.
