This video explains the introduction part of Engineering Mechanics. It consists of basic definitions and meaning of various branches of Engineering Mechanics
Engineering Mechanics: it is the branch of physics which deals with the study of effect of force system on a particle or rigid body.
Deformable bodies: Explained using example of lever and weights, the body which gets deformed or which changes its shape on the application of force.
Rigid bodies: It has mass, dimension, shape and doesn’t deform or change its shape on the application of force. In real there are no rigid bodies its assumed concept just to make calculations easy.
Statics: Deals with the study of force system on a rigid body when it is at rest.
Dynamics: Deals with the study of geometry of motion of rigid body or particle.
Kinematics: Deals the study of geometry of motion of rigid body or particle without considering cause of motion i.e. mass and force.
Kinetics: Deals the study of geometry of motion of rigid body or particle with considering cause of motion.
Mechanics of deformable bodies will be covered in strength of material section. In this subject will be only concentrating on mechanics of rigid bodies.
