This document discusses orthographic projections in engineering graphics. It explains that orthographic projections show the front, top, and side views of an object by observing it from different angles. These multiple views provide an accurate way to represent 3D objects on a 2D surface. The document also describes first and third angle projections, and how orthographic views show length, width, or height by hiding the other dimensions from view. It provides examples of how orthographic views are represented on drawings.
The document discusses engineering graphics and freehand sketching. It covers curves used in engineering like conics, cycloids, and involutes. It also discusses representing 3D objects through multiple views and developing visualization skills through freehand sketching. The document then provides step-by-step instructions on orthographic projections using first angle projection. It demonstrates drawing front, side, and top views from pictorial presentations. Finally, it outlines the general procedure for freehand sketching orthographic views from an isometric pictorial view.
Here are the key steps to solve this problem:
1) Draw a free body diagram of each block, showing all external forces.
2) Write the equation of motion for each block in the x and y directions: ΣFx = max, ΣFy = may
3) The tension in each cable will be the same. Substitute this into the equations of motion.
4) Solve the equations simultaneously to find the acceleration and tension.
The acceleration and tension can be determined by setting up and solving the simultaneous equations of motion for each block based on Newton's 2nd law. Friction and the coefficient of kinetic friction must be accounted for between block C and the horizontal surface.

A vector has magnitude and direction and can be represented by an arrow. There are two types of quantities: scalar quantities which only have magnitude (like mass), and vector quantities which have both magnitude and direction (like force). Forces are added using the head-to-tail method, and the net or resultant force is a single force equal to the combined effect. Forces can also produce turning effects called moments. For an object to be in equilibrium, the sums of opposing forces and opposing moments must be equal.

3) The direction of the moment is determined by the right-hand rule applied to r and F.
This document provides an overview of engineering statics concepts related to force systems. It defines key terms like force, vector, moment, and couple. It also describes methods for analyzing both 2D and 3D force systems, including resolving forces into rectangular components, calculating moments and couples, and determining resultant forces and wrench resultants. The examples show how to use these methods to solve static equilibrium problems involving various force combinations and configurations.
The document discusses concepts in mechanics including:
- The requirements for two forces to be equal (equal in magnitude, direction, parallelism, and line of action).
- The definition of moment of a force as the product of the force and its perpendicular distance from a fixed point.
- Methods for calculating total moment around a point including considering direction and dividing inclined forces.
- The definition of a resultant force as a single force that replaces a set of forces.
- Concepts related to equilibrium including stable, unstable, and neutral equilibrium.
A couple is formed by two parallel forces of equal magnitude but opposite direction. The moment of a couple, called the couple moment, is the tendency of the couple to cause rotation. The couple moment is calculated as the perpendicular distance between the forces multiplied by the force magnitude. Unlike a moment of a force, the couple moment can be applied to any point as it is a free vector.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17Celine George
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.
A Visual Guide to 1 Samuel | A Tale of Two HeartsSteve Thomason
These slides walk through the story of 1 Samuel. Samuel is the last judge of Israel. The people reject God and want a king. Saul is anointed as the first king, but he is not a good king. David, the shepherd boy is anointed and Saul is envious of him. David shows honor while Saul continues to self destruct.

Engineering mechanics
- Deals with effect of forces on objects
Mechanics principles used in vibration, spacecraft
design, fluid flow, electrical, mechanical m/c design
etc.
Statics: deals with effect of force on bodies which
are not moving
Dynamics: deals with force effect on moving bodies
We consider RIGID BODIES – Non deformable

Scalar quantity: Only magnitude; time, volume, speed,
density, mass…
Vector quantity: Both direction and magnitude; Force,
displacement, velocity, acceleration, moment…

Equilibrium in 2D
Mechanical system: body or group of bodies which can be conceptually
isolated from all other bodies
System: single body, combination of bodies; rigid or non-rigid;
combination of fluids and solids

Simple truss: structures built from basic triangle
More members are present to prevent collapsing => statically indeterminate truss;
they can not be analyzed by equilibrium equations
Additional members not necessary for maintaining equilibrium - redundant
66. R. Ganesh Narayanan 66
In designing simples truss or truss => assumptions are followed
1. Two force members – equilibrium only in two forces; either tension or compression
2. Each member is a straight link joining two points of application of force
3. Two forces are applied at the end; they are equal, opposite and collinear for
equilibrium
4. Newton’s third law is followed for each joint
5. Weight can be included; effect of bending is not accepted
6. External forces are applied only in pin connections
7. Roller or rocker is also provided at joints to allow expansion and contraction due to
temperature changes and deformation for applied loads

Internal and external redundancy
external redundancy: If a plane truss has more supports than are necessary to
ensure a stable equilibrium, the extra supports constitute external redundancy
Internal redundancy: More internal members than are necessary to prevent collapse,
the extra members constitute internal redundancy
Condition for statically determinate truss: m + 3 = 2j
- Equilibrium of each joint can be specified by two scalar force equations, then ‘2j’
equations are present for a truss with ‘j’ joints
-The entire truss composed of ‘m’ two force members and having the maximum of
three unknown support reactions, there are (m + 3) unknowns
j – no. of joints; m – no. of members
m + 3 > 2 j =>more members than independent equations; statically
indeterminate
m + 3 < 2 j => deficiency of internal members; truss is unstable

Method of sections
• In method of joints, we need only two equilibrium equations, as we
deal with concurrent force system
• In method of sections, we will consider three equilibrium
equations, including one moment equilibrium eqn.
• force in almost any desired member can be obtained directly from
an analysis of a section which has cut the member
• Not necessary to proceed from joint to joint
•Not more than three members whose forces are unknown should
be cut. Only three independent equilibrium eqns. are present
•Efficiently find limited information
79. R. Ganesh Narayanan 79

•The external forces are obtained initially from method of joints, by
considering truss as a whole
• Assume we need to find force in BE, then entire truss has to be
sectioned across FE, BE, BC as shown in figure; we have only 3
equilibrium equns.
• AA – section across FE, BE, BC; Forces in these members are
initially unknown

Methodology for method of sections
80. R. Ganesh Narayanan 80
• Now each section will apply opposite forces on each other
• The LHS is in equilibrium with R1, L, three forces exerted on the cut
members (EF, BE, BC) by the RHS which has been removed
• IN this method the initial direction of forces is decided by moment about
any point where known forces are present
• For eg., take moment about point B for the LHS, this will give BE, BC to
be zero; Then moment by EF should be opposite to moment by R1;
Hence EF should be towards left hand side - compressive
Section 1 Section 2
81. R. Ganesh Narayanan 81
• Now take moment about ‘F’ => BE should be opposite to R1
moment; Hence BE must be up and to the right; So BE is tensile
• Now depending on the magnitudes of known forces, BC direction
has to be decided, which in this case is outwards i.e., tensile
Σ MB = 0 => FORCE IN EF; BE, BC = 0
Σ Fy = 0 => FORCE IN BE; BC, EF = 0
Σ ME = 0 => FORCE IN BC; EF, BE = 0
Section 1 Section 2
83. R. Ganesh Narayanan 83
Important points
• IN method of sections, an entire portion of the truss is considered a
single body in equilibrium
• Force in members internal to the section are not involved in the
analysis of the section as a whole
• The cutting section is preferably passed through members and not
through joints
• Either portion of the truss can be used, but the one with smaller
number of forces will yield a simpler solution
• Method sections and method of joints can be combined
• Moment center can be selected through which many unknown forces
pass through
• Positive force value will sense the initial assumption of force direction

Friction
•Earlier we assumed action and reaction forces at contacting surfaces
are normal
• Seen as smooth surface – not practically true
• Normal & tangential forces are important
• Tangential forces generated near contacting surfaces are
FRICTIONAL FORCES
• Sliding of one contact surface to other – friction occurs and it is
opposite to the applied force
• Reduce friction in bearings, power screws, gears, aircraft propulsion,
missiles through the atmosphere, fluid flow etc.
• Maximize friction in brakes, clutches, belt drives etc.
• Friction – dissipated as heat – loss of energy, wear of parts etc.
127. R. Ganesh Narayanan 126
Friction
Dry friction
(coulomb friction)
Fluid friction
• Occurs when un-lubricated surfaces are
in contact during sliding
• friction force always oppose the sliding
motion
• Occurs when the adjacent layers in a
fluid (liquid, gas) are moving at different
velocities
• This motion causes friction between
fluid elements
• Depends on the relative velocity
between layers
• No relative velocity – no fluid friction
• depends on the viscosity of fluid –
measure of resistance to shearing action
between the fluid layers

Three categories of problems
• All applied forces are given, co-effts. of friction are known
• Find whether the body will remain at rest or slide
• Friction force ‘F’ required to maintain equilibrium is unknown
(magnitude not equal to µs N)
• Determine ‘F’ required for equilibrium, by solving equilibrium equns; Also find
‘N’
• Compare ‘F’ obtained with maximum value ‘Fm’ i.e., from Fm = µs N
• ‘F’ is smaller or equal to ‘Fm’, then body is at rest
• Otherwise body starts moving
• Actual friction force magnitude = Fk = µk N
Solution
First category: to know a body slips or not

Virtual work
We have analyzed equilibrium of a body by isolating it with a FBD
and equilibrium equations
Class of problems where interconnected members move relative to
each other; equilibrium equations are not the direct and
conventional method
Concept of work done by force is more direct => Method of virtual

Forces which do no work
• ds = 0; cos α = 0
• reaction at a frictionless pin due to rotation of a body around the
pin
• reaction at a frictionless surface due to motion of a body along the
surface
• weight of a body with cg moving horizontally
• friction force on a wheel moving without slipping
Only work done by applied forces, loads, friction forces need to
be considered
169. R. Ganesh Narayanan 168
Sum of work done by several forces may be zero
• bodies connected by a frictionless pin
=> W.D by F and –F is opposite and will cancel
• bodies connected by an inextensible cord
• internal forces holding together particles of a rigid
body
Rigid body
A, B – particles
F, -F are acting as shown
Though dr, dr’ are different, components of these
displacements along AB must be equal, otherwise
distance between the particles will change and this is
not a rigid body; so U done by F and –F cancel each
other, i.e, U of internal forces = 0
170. R. Ganesh Narayanan 169
Principle of virtual work
Imagine the small virtual displacement of particle which is
acted upon by several forces F1, F2, ….. Fn
Imagine the small displacement A to A’
This is possible displacement, but will not occur
AA’ ---- VIRTUAL DISPLACEMENT, δr (not dr)
Work done by these forces F1, F2, ….Fn during virtual
displacement δr is called VIRTUAL WORK, δU
δU = F1. δr + F2. δr + …..+ Fn. δr = R . δr

For an ideal machine without friction, the output work is equal to the input
work; 2Ql cos θ δθ = Pl sin θ δθ
