Understanding Force Systems in Mechanics

The presentation discusses the concept of force as an external agency that affects the motion of bodies, referencing Newton's laws of motion. It categorizes force systems into various types, including concurrent, non-concurrent, coplanar, non-coplanar, collinear, non-collinear, parallel, and non-parallel forces. The document provides definitions and distinctions between these categories to aid in understanding the dynamics of force systems.

‘Force System’

❖A force is an external agency (push or pull) which changes
the state of rest or of uniform motion of a body.
(i) Produces motion in a body at rest, (ii) Stops or tries to stop a moving body, or (iii)
changes or tries to change the direction of motion of the body.

❖Newton's first law states that every object will remain at


rest or in uniform motion in a straight line unless compelled
to change its state by the action of an external force.
❖Newton's second law of motion states that the rate of
change of momentum is equal to the force acting on the
particle.
Force 𝖺 rate of change of momentum
𝖺 rate of change of (mass × velocity)
Force 𝖺 mass × rate of change of velocity
F 𝖺 m×a
mass × acceleration 2
❖A force system is a collection of forcesacting at
specified locations in one or more planes.
❖Whentwo or more forces act on a body, they are called
for a system of force.
i. Concurrent / Non-concurrent – Point
ii. Coplanar / Non-coplanar – Plane
iii. Collinear/ Non-collinear – Linear
iv. Parallel/ Non-Parallel – llel or Not

Concurrent forces: The forces, which meet at one point.

3
Non-concurrent Forces: The forces,
which act at different points.

Coplanar forces: The forces, whose lines


of action lie on the same plane.

Non-coplanar Forces: The forces, whose lines


of action lie on the different plane. 4
Collinear forces: The forces acting along the same line
of action. F1 F3 F4F2

Non-collinear forces: The forces acting along the


different lines of action.
F1 F3 F4F2

5
Parallel Forces: The forces line of action are parallel to
each other is called parallel forces.

(b) Unlike parallel forces
