Analytical Mechanics Overview

The document provides an overview of Analytical Mechanics, defining it as a branch of applied science focused on the laws and principles of mechanics and their applications in engineering. It divides Analytical Mechanics into Statics, dealing with forces on bodies at rest, and Dynamics, dealing with forces on bodies in motion. Additionally, it discusses common systems of units used in engineering mechanics, including C.G.S., F.P.S., M.K.S., and S.I. units, along with unit conversion and the distinction between scalar and vector quantities.

Analytical Mechanics

Definition of Analytical Mechanics:


• A branch of applied science.
• Deals with the laws and principles of mechanics.
• Focuses on their applications to engineering problems.
Importance:
• Essential for planning.
• Crucial for designing.
• Necessary for constructing various types of structures and
machines
Divisions of Analytical Mechanics

Analytical Mechanics may be divided into the two main groups:


1. Statics, and 2. Dynamics.

Statics Dynamics
It is that branch of Analytical It is that branch of Analytical

SYSTEMS OF UNITS

There are only four systems of units, which are commonly used and
universally recognized.
These are known as :
1. C.G.S. units, 2. F.P.S. units, 3. M.K.S. units and 4. S.I. units.

C.G.S. units F.P.S. units M.K.S. units


The unit of length is The unit of length is a The unit of length is the
centimeter (cm). The foot (ft). The unit of meter (m). The unit of

Solution
SCALAR QUANTITIES

The scalar quantities (or sometimes known as scalars)


are those quantities which have magnitude only such
as length, mass, time, distance, volume, density,
temperature, speed etc.

12
VECTOR QUANTITIES

The vector quantities (or sometimes


known as vectors) are those
quantities which have both
magnitude and direction such as
force, displacement, velocity,
acceleration, momentum etc.
