Chapter Three
Kinetics of Particles
2. • It is the study of the relations existing between
the forces acting on body, the mass of the body,
and the motion of the body.
• It is the study of the relation between
unbalanced forces and the resulting motion.
AAiT School of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering - SMiE 2
Kinetics of Particles
3. • Newton ’s first law and third law are sufficient
for studying bodies at rest (statics) or bodies in
motion with no acceleration.
AAiT School of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering - SMiE 3
4. • When a body accelerates ( change in velocity
magnitude or direction) Newton ’s second law is
required to relate the motion of the body to the
forces acting on it.
AAiT School of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering - SMiE 4
5. • Newton ’s Second Law: If the resultant force
acting on a particle is not zero the particle will
have an acceleration proportional to the
magnitude of resultant and in the direction of the
resultant.
AAiT School of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering - SMiE 5
Kinetics of Force, Mass and Acceleration
6. • The basic relation between force and
acceleration is found in Newton's second law of
motion and its verification is entirely
experimental.
AAiT School of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering - SMiE 6
7. • Consider a particle subjected to constant forces
• We conclude that the constant is a measure of
some property of the particle that does not
change.

8. • This property is the inertia of the particle which is its
resistance to rate of change of velocity.
• The mass m is used as a quantitative measure of inertia, and
therefore the experimental relation becomes,
F=ma
• This relation provides a complete formulation of Newton's
second law; it expresses not only that the magnitude F and a are
proportional but also that the vector F and a have the same
direction.
AAiT School of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering - SMiE 8
9. • When a particle of mass m acted upon by several forces. The
Newton’s second law can be expressed by the equation
• To determine the acceleration we must use the analysis used in
kinematics, i.e
• Rectilinear motion
• Curvilinear motion

10. • If we choose the x-direction, as the direction
of the rectilinear motion of a particle of mass

16. • A small vehicle enters the top A of the circular path with a
horizontal velocity vo and gathers speed as it moves down the
path.
• Determine an expression for the angle β to the position where
the vehicle leaves the path and becomes a projectile. Evaluate
your expression for vo=0. Neglect friction and treat the vehicle
as a particle

18. • The slotted arm revolves in the horizontal about the fixed vertical axis
through point O. the 2 Kg slider C is drawn towards O at the constant
rate of 50mm/s by pulling the cord S. At the instant for which
r=225mm, the arm has a counterclockwise angular velocity ω=6rad/s
and is slowing down at the rate of 2rad/s2 .for this instant determine
the tension T in the cord and the magnitude N of the force exerted on
the slider by the sides of the smooth radial slot. Indicate which side, A
or B, of the slot contacts the slider. (problem 3/69 6th Edition meriam)

Work and Kinetic Energy
20. • The method of work and energy directly relates force, mass,
velocity, and displacement.
• We apply this method:
When intervals of motion are involved where the change in
velocity or the corresponding displacement of the particle is
required.
• Integration of the forces with respect to the displacement
of the particle leads to the equation of work and energy.

R is from the center of the
earth
It should be noted that the expression just obtained for the potential energy of a
body with respect to gravity is valid only as long as the weight of body can be
assumed to remain constant, i.e., as long as the displacements of the body are small
compared with the radius of the earth.
AAiT School of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering - SMiE 30
32. Only the initial and final deflection of
the spring are needed
Deflection of the spring is measured
from its undeformed position
AAiT School of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering - SMiE 32
34. • Advantage; 1. No need to calculate values between A1 and
A2. Only final stages are counted 2. All scalars so can be
added easily 3. Forces that do no work are ignored
• Disadvantage; can not determine accelerations, can not
determine accelerations and forces that do no work

Energy Method

Impulse and Momentum
36. • Work and energy is obtained by integrating the
equation of F=ma with respect to the
displacement of the particle.
• Impulse and momentum can be generated by
integrating the equation of motion (F=ma) with
respect to time.
AAiT School of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering - SMiE 36
37. • Consider a particle of a mass m which
is subjected to several forces in space.
• The product of the mass & the velocity
is defined as the linear momentum.

momentum of the particle over a finite period of time
simply by integrating with respect to time t.
• The linear momentum at time t2 is G2=mV2 and the linear
momentum at time t1 is G1=mV1.
• The product of force and time is called linear impulse.

Impact
48. • Impact Refers to the collision b/n two
bodies and is characterized by the
generation of relatively large contact
forces that act over a very short
interval of time.
AAiT School of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering - SMiE 48
49. • Consider the collinear motion of two spheres of masses m1
and m2 travelling with velocities V1 & V2. If V1 is greater
than V2, collision occurs with the contact forces directed
along the line of centers.

equation contains two unknowns, v1’ & v2’, an additional
relationship is required.
• The relationship must reflect the capacity of the
contacting bodies to recover from the impact & can be
expressed by the ratio e of the magnitude of the
restoration impulse to the magnitude of the deformation
impulse. This ratio is called the coefficient of restitution.

53. • According to classical theory of impact, the value
e=1 means that the capacity of the two particles to
recover equal their tendency to deform.
• The value e=0, on the other hand describes
inelastic or plastic impact where the particles cling
together after collision & the loss of energy is a
maximum.

54. • Here the initial and final velocities are not parallel.
• The spherical particles of mass m1 & m2 have initial
velocities v1 & v2 in the same plane & approach each other
on a collision course.
• The direction of the velocity vector are measured from
the direction tangent to the contacting surfaces.
