Mechanics - answer A branch of the physical sciences that is concerned with the
state of rest or motion bodies that are subjected to the action of forces.
Rigid-Body Mechanics:
Statics - answer Deals with the equilibrium of bodies, that is, those that are either at
rest or move with a constant velocity.
Rigid-Body Mechanics:
Dynamics - answer Is concerned with the accelerated motion of bodies.
Particle - answer Has mass, but a size that can be neglected.
Rigid-body - answer A combination of a large number of particles in which all the
particles remain at a fixed distance from one another, both before and after applying
a load.
Concentrated force - answer represents the effect of a loading which is assumed to
act at a point on a body.
Rectangle Coordinate System - answer Is said to be right-handed if the thumb of the
right hand points in the direction of the positive z acts when the right-hand fingers
are curled about the axis and directed from the positive x towards the positive y axis.
Position Vector R - answer A fixed vector which locates a point in space relative to
another point.
Equilibrium - answer A particle that remains at rest if originally at rest, or has a
constant velocity if originally in motion.
Free-body diagram (FBD) - answer A drawing that shows the particle with all the
forces that act on it
Active Forces - answer Tend to set the particle in motion
Reactive Forces - answer are the result of the constraints or supports that tend to
prevent motion.
Torque(moment) - answer The tendency to rotate once a force is applied to a body
about a point that is not on the line of action of the force.
Couple - answer Two parallel forces that have the same magnitude, but opposite
directions, and are separated by a perpendicular distance d.
