    CHAPTER 1 Introduction To Statics

    Uploaded by

    David Murphy
    This document provides an introduction and objectives for a chapter on statics. It describes statics as the science of determining forces and force systems acting on rigid bodies. It provides examples of engineering applications of statics, such as the design of a suspended skywalk. It also outlines key concepts that will be covered, including units of force, geometry, trigonometry, and their applications to solving statics problems. Safety issues are highlighted with an example of a fatal statics calculation error.

    I. ANGLES AND LINES

    1. A straight line has 180 degrees on each side

    2. If 2 lines (or more ) lines are parallel to the same line, they are perpendicular to each other. 3. Intersecting lines create 2 pairs of opposite and equal angles 4. Intersecting lines create a common vertex for 4 angles, the sum of which is 360
    g 1 =g 3 g 2=g4 <1+<2+<3+<4 =3600

    4. When 2 lines intersected by a third line: - equal pairs of alternate interior angles are formed - equal pairs of alternate exterior angles are formed - equal pairs of interior and exterior corresponding angles are formed <3=<6 <4=<5 <1=<8 <2=<7 <1=<5 <2=<6 <3=<7 <4=<8 II. TRIANGLES 5. Are three sided figures containing 3 angles that add up to 180 degrees. 6. Right Triangle -Contains one 90 degree angle -the sum of remaining 2 angles = 90 degrees

    7. Isosceles Triangle -contains two sides of equal length -angles opposite the equal sides are also equal -the altitude divide the triangle into two congruent triangles

    8. Equilateral Triangle -Contains three equal sides -The three angles are equal and measure 60 degrees

    9. Similar Triangles Angle-Angle rule If 2 angles of 1 triangle are equal to 2 angles of another triangle they are similar 6

    Systems of Linear Equations


    y = 3x 2 y = x 6

    STEP 1

    Solve one equation to isolate one variable by itself, in this case the Y is already done for us. y=3x-2 STEP 2 Substitute into the second equation, so that there will only be 1 type of variable in it 3x 2 = x 6 STEP 3 Solve for the unknown x=1 STEP 4 Substitute that value back into the first equation to solve for the other unknown variable y=3(1) 2 = 1

    OUTPUT CANNOT BE MORE ACCURATE THAN INPUT 58 = 8.285714286 7 1)ALL non-zero numbers (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9) are ALWAYS significant. 2)ALL zeroes between non-zero numbers are ALWAYS significant. 3) ALL zeroes which are SIMULTANEOUSLY to the right of the decimal point AND at the end of the number are ALWAYS significant. 4) ALL zeroes which are to the left of a written decimal point and are in a number >= 10 are ALWAYS significant.

    MATHEMATICS OF MEASUREMENT ADDITION/SUBTRACTION


    units are handled mathematically just like variables! 10ft + 5ft = 15ft 18in -10in =8 in

    only like units may be added or subtracted

    30 in + 5 ft - 3m

    MULTIPLICATION
    multiply 3 x 3 TO MULTIPLY 3ft x 3ft = ? multiply 1ft x 1ft 6in x 3in x 2in = 6 x 3 x 2 in x in x in =

    = 9 ft2

    36 in3

    what about the like units rule? 1ft x 5 lb = 5 ft-lb

    DIVISION
    10 ft 2 ft =
    1. 10 2 = 5 2. ft ft =

    ft =1 ft

    =5

    25 ft2 5 ft

    1. 25 5 = 5 2. ft2 ft =

    ft ft ft = = ft ft ft
    2

    = 5ft

    and, once again, unlike units? 50 lb .25 in2 = 200 lb/in2 200 miles 3.5 hrs = 55 miles/hr
