• Kind of Forces
• Free Body Diagram
• Newton’s Law of Motion
Kinematics vs Dynamics
Dynamics
is the branch of classical mechanics that is concerned
with the study of forces and their effects on motion.
What is Force?
• A force is a push or a pull
• It is an interaction between two bodies or between a body
and its environment
• A force is a vector quantity
• A force is either a contact of non-contact force
!
• SI unit of force is 1 Newton (N) which is equal to 1 𝑘𝑔 % !

Tension Force
When a string or a rope
pulls on an object, it exerts
a contact force on it.
𝐹!"#$%& = −𝑘 𝑥 − 𝑥'
Where,
k – spring constant
𝑥! – equilibrium position
𝑥 − the displacement of the spring from its position at equilibrium
Sample Problem
What is the magnitude of the force required to
stretch a 20 cm-long spring, with a spring constant of
90 N/m, to a length of 23 cm.
Normal Force
the force exerted
perpendicularly by a
surface against an
object pressing on
that surface is called
as the normal force.
Friction Force
is the force exerted by a surface as an object
moves across it or makes an effort to move
across it. There are at least two types of
friction force – kinetic and static friction.
• Friction always acts parallel to two planes in
contact with each other and in the direction
opposite the motion
𝐹'() = 𝑚𝑎
Sample Problem
Neglect friction.
