Mechanics 1
(Basic Concepts of Mechanics, Concurrent and Non-
Concurrent Force System)
Principles of Mechanics
Newton’s First Law
• It states that every body continues in it s state of rest or of uniform motion in
a straight line unless it is compelled by an extreme agency acting on it.
Principle of transmissibility
• According to this Law the state of rest or motion of the rigid body is
unaltered if a force acting on the body is replaced by another force of the
same magnitude and direction but acting anywhere on the body along
the line of action of the replaced force.
Principles of Mechanics
Parallelogram Law
• The combined effect of two force may be represented by a single resultant force that is
equivalent to the diagonal of a parallelogram which contains the two forces in adjacent
legs.
Triangle Law
• If two forces acting on a body are represented one after another by the sides of a
triangle, their resultant is represented but the closing side of the triangle taken from
first point to the last point.

Types of Force Systems
1. Concurrent Force Systems
-forces whose lines of action pass
through a common point
Types of Force Systems
2. Parallel Force System
-Forces whose lines of action are
parallel to each other
Types of Force Systems
3. Non-Concurrent Force System
-whose lines of action neither are
parallel nor intersect on a common point
Axioms of 1. Actions and reaction forces are
equal but oppositely directed
