Vector Mechanics for Engineers: Dynamics
Introduction
• In the current chapter, you will study the motion of systems
of particles.
• The effective force of a particle is defined as the product of
it mass and acceleration. It will be shown that the system of
external forces acting on a system of particles is equipollent
with the system of effective forces of the system.
• The mass center of a system of particles will be defined
and its motion described.
• Application of the work-energy principle and the
impulse-momentum principle to a system of particles will
be described. Result obtained are also applicable to a
system of rigidly connected particles, i.e., a rigid body.

the explosion, the fragments travel in the
directions qA = 45o and qB = 30o.

Work-Energy Principle. Conservation of Energy
• Principle of work and energy can be applied to each particle Pi ,
T1  U12  T2

where U12 represents the workdone by the internal forces f ij
and the resultant external force Fi acting on Pi .
• Principle of work and energy can be applied to the entire system by
adding the kinetic energies of all particles and considering the work
done by all external and internal forces.


• Although f ij and f ji are equal and opposite, the work of these
forces will not, in general, cancel out.
• If the forces acting on the particles are conservative, the work is
equal to the change in potential energy and
T1  V1  T2  V2
which expresses the principle of conservation of energy for the
system of particles.

Sample Problem 14.4
SOLUTION:
Ball B, of mass mB,is suspended from a
cord, of length l, attached to cart A, of
mass mA, which can roll freely on a
frictionless horizontal tract. While the
cart is at rest, the ball is given an initial
velocity v0  2 gl .
• With no external horizontal forces, it
follows from the impulse-momentum
principle that the horizontal component
of momentum is conserved. This
relation can be solved for the velocity of
B at its maximum elevation.
• The conservation of energy principle
can be applied to relate the initial
kinetic energy to the maximum potential
energy. The maximum vertical distance
is determined from this relation.
Determine (a) the velocity of B as it
reaches it maximum elevation, and (b)
the maximum vertical distance h
through which B will rise.
