Force Vectores and Resultants
Resultant Force
Resultant of a distribution Force
Normally force are ditributed along the structure, but can be simplified into a point
To do this we use Integrals
𝑭𝑹 = Integral(𝒘(𝒙)) 𝒅𝒙
F=ma
These can be broken down into X and Y components. Then use trig to find the resultant
Resulatant Moments
M=Fd
The force has to perpendicular to the line of action
Right hand rules
If the force is parraller to the line of action then the moments is 0
M=Fd
M=F*0
M=0
EQUILIBRIUM OF A PARTICLE
This is when the resultant force of a particle is zero. This means that the formula is Fr=0
Meaning that the Fx=0 and Fy=0
The resultant force being 0 means that the particle is not experiencing any acceleration. This could mean that the object is not moving or that he object is moving at a constant velocity.
A free body diagram is used to see cleary where are all the forces coming from and how they are interacting with the particle.
useful applications
This can be used to analyze knots, pulleys, connecting rings, and any small detail where all forces acting on it can be described as
acting on its center
These analysis often requie us to look at tension on string and forces on spring. So it good to also know Hook's law, F=kx
Opposed to this, larger objects (beams etc) can not be represented as particles. This kind of objects are called rigid bodies
Kinematics of Particles
When a particle is only moving in one direction (let’s say along s-axis), it is said to be in
rectilinear motion
With kinematics, there are four main variables that we will be working with. Velocity, displacement, time and acceleration.
The relations between these quantities are described as time derivatives
v = dS/dt
a = dv/dt = d2S/dt^2
a ds = v dv
If our motion is not in just one direction but two directions (let’s say x and y), then our motion is said to be
curvilinear
In these cases, both our velocity and acceleration become Pythagorean products
of their x- and y-components, so their magnitudes are:
Direction angles can be calculated from x- and y-components using inverse
tangent:
The most common application for this would be for projectiles but the (x,y)-component method works well for cases, where the curvilinear nature of motion is a
product of things happening in both directions
– i.e. the motion must not be curvilinear by definition
If our situation is different in such a way that the curvilinear nature
is forced
because of our particle is moving along a path that is known beforehand, then it is usually simpler to perform our calculations in a plane which consists of normal and tangential components (n and t)
Here at represents the acceleration caused by change in the magnitude of the velocity and an represents the acceleration caused by change in the direction of the velocity
Tangential and normal components of the acceleration can be easily calculated
using the following formulas
Tangential acceleration is the time derivative of velocity
Normal acceleration is velocity squared
and divided by radius of curvature ρ

Third possible coordinate system that we can use is the system of cylindrical coordinates (or, in plane, polar coordinates r and θ )
This is useful in applications where our particle moves at certain angular velocity, The radius of the path of our particle changes respect to time
Very common in machine design:
Slider-connecting rod –mechanisms
Robot arm movements
In polar coordinates, our velocity equation takes the form
• Likewise, our acceleration equation takes the form

Engineering Physics
Electricity and magnetism

Charge – detection using an electroscope
Circuites
Current
I = ∆q/∆t
The rate at which electrons flow past a point in a complete electrical circuit.
Voltage
electric charges experience the electric force, when one charge is moved in the vicinity of another, work W is done
V = W/q
when speaking about individual charges, electronvoltts is used instead if joules as it the value is very small

Identifying sign and nature of charge carriers in a metal
Assuming the charge carriers in a conductor are free to move, if a conductor is suddenly accelerated, the electrons would “pool” at the trailing side due to inertia, and a potential difference measured by a voltmeter would be set up between the ends.
In a metal, free electrons move very rapidly, but collide constantly with the atoms in the crystalline lattice
Note that through any cross-section of the conductor, the net current is zero
If we place that same portion of conductor under the influence of a potential difference, we have a slow drifting of the velocities toward the lower potentia
Note that the net current is NOT zero in this case.
∙The electrons still have a high velocity, but this time the net migration is in the direction of the lower potential.
∙The speed of this net migration is called the drift velocity.
I = nAvq
v is the drift velocity
A. is the area of the wire
Coulomb’s law
r is the distance between th origins of two circles
Electric field
E = F/q
Electric field – the field model
Coulomb force signal cannot propagate faster than the speed of light, electrons trapped in orbits about nuclei cannot instantaneously feel the Coulomb force, and thus cannot instantaneously adjust their motion on time to remain in a circular orbit

Resistance
Some very precise resistors are made of wire and are called wire-wound resistors.
Resistance is measured in ohms (Ω) using an ohm-meter.
R = V/I
Resistance can be affected by. the area and the length of the wire
ρ = RA/L
ρ means the resistivity of the material
non ohmic behaviour
The temperature coefficient for tungsten is positive, typical for conductors. Therefore, the hotter the filament the higher R. But the more current, the hotter a lamp filament burns. Thus, the bigger the I the bigger the R.
This is why a lamp filament might not have an ohmic behaviour, because of the change in temperature
∙And some resistors can be made to vary their resistance by tapping them at various places. These are called variable resistors and potentiometers.
∙Thermistors are temperature- dependent resistors, changing their resistance in response to their temperature.
∙Light-dependent resistors (LDRs) change their resistance in response to light intensity.
Power dissipated
P = VI = I^2R = V^2/R
Electric circuits
Investigating combinations of resistors in series
ammeters are connected in series
To measure the current of the circuit we must break the circuit and insert the ammeter so that it intercepts all of the electrons that normally travel through the circuit
An ideal ammeter how infinitely zero resistance
Investigating combinations of resistors in parralel
voltmeters are connected in parallel
To measure the voltage of the circuit we merely connect the voltmeter while the circuit is in operation
An ideal voltmeter has infinite resistance
Potential divider circuits
A potential divider is a circuit made of two (or more) series resistors that allows us to tap off any voltage we want that is less than the battery voltage
The input voltage is the emf of the battery.
The output voltage is the voltage drop across R2.
Since the resistors are in series R = R1 + R2.
Kirchhoff’s rules
”Solving” a circuit consists of finding the voltages and currents of all of its components
STEP 1: Assign a current to each branch. If you have a good idea which way it flows, choose that direction.
If you don’t, an arbitrary direction will do just fine
If a current enters a junction it is a “gain” and is assigned a POSITIVE value. If a current leaves a junction it is a “loss” and is assigned a NEGATIVE value
For the TOP junction, I1 and I3 are both POSITIVE and I2 is NEGATIVE.
For the BOTTOM junction, I1 and I3 are both NEGATIVE and I2 is POSITIVE
STEP 2: Use Kirchhoff’s rule for I for each junction.
Each JUNCTION yields its own equation

∙A branch is all the wire and all the components connecting one junction to another.
∙A loop is all the wire and all the components in a complete circle
Capacitors in parralel
You add the capacitance
Capacitors in series
You add the inverses of the capacitances
Capacitance
A capacitor is a passive electronic component that stores
electric charge.
Unit Farad
Capacitors store charge between two conductive plates separated by a dielectric material
Factors that affect capacitance are distance (d), area of the plates (A), and the dialectric constant
When the capacitor charges, the current on the capacitor decreases exponentialy. When the capacitor is discharged, the current flows to the other side and then decreases (or a i guess increases) exponentialy again.

Common capacitors
Ceramic Capacitors: These are widely used due to their
small size, stability, and ability to handle high frequencies.
. Electrolytic Capacitors: Known for their larger capacitance
values, these are often used in power supply circuits.
. Film Capacitors: Valued for their reliability and precision, these are used in applications requiring stable and accurate capacitance
Magnetic field and Force
Electric field: describes the strength and direction of an electric force
Magnetic field: describes strength and direction of a magnetic force
Electromagnetic force (also Lorentz force):
𝐹 = 𝑞𝐸 + 𝑞𝑣⨯ 𝐵
If you noticed the firest hald of the equation is the electric field strength equation and the second half is the magnetic force equation
Magnetic flux density B. s the number of
magnetic field lines passing through as surface, the magnetic flux density B, is the flux Φ per area A.
If the are is at another angle than 90 degrees towards the flux: Φ = B A sin (𝜃)
Magnetic fieald strength H, H is a measure of the intensity of the magnetic field in a given area of tha field. It depends on the density flux and the permeability of the medium 𝜇:
H = B/ 𝜇
Here 𝜇𝑟 is the relative permeability and 𝜇0 the permeability of vacuum
Note: while analogous, permeability is not to be confused with [electric] permittivity (ε), which describes a medium’s property to store energy in the form
Typical cases
Electrical charge moving in a magnetic field:
𝐹𝑚 = 𝑞𝑣𝐵 𝑠𝑖𝑛(𝜃)
Conductor (length l ) carrying a current (i) in a
magnetic field:
𝐹𝑚 = 𝑖𝑙𝐵 𝑠𝑖𝑛(𝜃)
Torque on a [conductor] shaft in a magnetic
field:
𝑇=𝑟 𝐹𝑚 𝑠𝑖𝑛
For all of these don't forget the arrow rules, croses means that the magnetic field is going into the page and dots means it's going out of the page

Electromagnetic Induction
we explored before how a moving current can create a magnetic field, and how a coild of wires with current can creat a
magnetic field
Importantly for many applications, the voltage induced in a conductor loop, V (also ε), is given by Faraday’s law:
𝑉= -𝑑𝝫/𝑑𝑡 (rate of change of flux
There is also flux linkage which is just flux (𝝫) times the number of loops
Inductor
Inductor is based on the magnetic field that forms when the current flows through a loop or a coiled conductor. Both charging and discharging an inductor takes some time, making it a
dynamic component
The total
self inductance
of a solenoid type inductor can be defined as a function of cross-section area 𝐴 and number 𝑁 of the loops in it and the total length ℓ it has, as well as the permeability of the medium at the core 𝜇:
𝐿 = (𝜇0 𝑁^2 𝐴)/ℓ
Don't forget about faraday's law, here when the flux is increasing, the coil creates a emf that opposes that increase in flux.
The resistance to this change in current/ flux is called
self inductances
This opposing action is also why faraday's law has a negative sign

Voltage Transformers
We explore the concept of step-up and step-down transformers in
power grids: what are the voltage transformation ratios. tranformer also cause mutal induction as change in current causes change in current in another coil
These are all the formulas to convert anything between to transformers.
For the relation ship between emf and voltage it makes sense, the more loops, the higher the flux linkage and the higher the voltage
