WHAT IS STRESS ?
AND WHAT IS STRAIN ?
Stress
-2
, Nm-2
Forces applied to the body will cause distortion of the body and
change to the materials cross-sectional area ;
eg. Tensile Forces will cause elongation .
Compressive Force will cause reduction in dimension.
Tension
Compression
Torsion
Torsional stress is applied to a material when it is twisted.
Torsion is actually a combination of both tension and
compression
Bending
In flight, the force of lift tries to bend an aircraft's wing
upward.
Shear
combines tension and compression is the shear stress, which
tries to slide an object apart.
Strain
How stress varies with stress when a steel wire is stretched until it breaks.
Hookes Law states that, the amount of stretch (elongation) is
proportional to the applied force.
Compression strain
Shear strain
when the applied load
causes one 'layer' of
material to move relative
to the adjacent layers.
Torsion strain
form of shear stress
resulting from a twisting
action.
Shearing Strain
Properties of matter
Diffusion
Surface Tension
Adhesion
Force of attraction between
molecules of different
substances.
Cohesion
Force of attraction between
molecules of same
substances.
capillary
The adhesion between the glass and the water exceeds the
cohesion of the water molecules, the meniscus curves up ,
and the surface tension causes the water to rise.
Mechanical properties of
matter
Strength
A strong material requires a strong force to break it
Stiffness
A stiff material resists forces which try to change its shape or size.
Elasticity
The ability to recover to its original shape and size after the force
deforming it has been reformed.
Ductility
Materials that can be rolled into sheets, drawn into wires or worked
into other useful shapes, without breaking are ductile.
Brittleness

Units of pressure
SI system pressure :
Pascal = force per unit area ( Nm-2)
Atmospheric pressure :
Milibars ( mb ) or pounds per square inch ( psi )
buoyancy
Archimedes Principle states that when an object is submerged in
a liquid, the object displaces a volume of liquid equal to its
volume and is supported by a force equal to the weight of the
liquid displaced.

Free falling objects
if a stationary object is released and free falls under
attraction of the force of gravity, it will accelerate at 9.81
m/s 2
So the a will be 9.81 m/s 2 ,
but in this case it is given the symbol g.
If the object is thrown upwards, its g will be 9.81m/s 2

ROTATIONAL MOTION
Circular Motion
Rotational motion means motion involving curved paths and
therefore change of direction.
Only cases of constant acceleration are considered here.
They are equivalent to those linear equations of motion :
Centripetal Force
Centrifugal Force
Is the equal but opposite reaction to the Centripetal Force.
( Newtons 3rd Law )
Periodic motion
The time during which the mass moved away from, and
then returned to its original position is known as the time
period, and the motion is known as periodic motion.
Example : pendulum
Pendulum
When the mass then displaced from its rest position, it will
accelerate back towards its rest position.
f=1/T
Spring Force
Force ( F ) =
mg =
kE
Analysis of oscillating systems will show that they often obey simple
but strict law.
Acceleration is proportional to the displacement from the neutral
position, and in the opposite sense to the direction of the velocity.
Referred to as Simple Harmonic Motion, when acceleration is directed
towards fixed point in its path and is proportional to its displacement
from that point.

Velocity ratio
Mechanical Advantage
Describes the ratio of load moved with the effort required to move it.
Mechanical Advantage = Load
Effort
*A rusty car jack will have a low mechanical advantage because
much of the effort would be used to overcome the friction of a corroded
screw thread.
Efficiency
Describes the ratio of the useful work done by a machine to the total
work put into it.
Efficiency = Work Output x 100% or Mechanical Advantage x100%
Work Input
Velocity Ratio
Expressed as percentage and is always less than 100%.
*Friction and slippage can detract from efficiency of a machine.

Mass
Is the quantity of matter that it contains.
Constant regardless of its location.
Basic SI unit : kilogram (kg)
Imperial : pounds (lbs)
Weight
Force with which gravity attracts a body.
Varies with distance between body and centre of the earth,
so if farther than centre of the earth, the less it weighs.
So, it is said that an object in deep space does not has no
weight, but do has mass.
Gravitational acceleration is considered as 9.81m/s2
Force
Is a vector quantity that has magnitude, direction and a
point of application.
Which changes a bodys state of rest or of uniform motion.
Inertia
Newtons First Law
A body at rest will stay at rest unless given an external
force, or a moving body will continue on moving unless
given and external force.
Is the resistance to movement or changes.
Work
Work is done when a force move.
Work done = force x distance moved in the direction of the force.
Unit : Newton metre (Nm) or the joule
1 joule = the work done when a force of 1 Newton is applied
through
a distance of 1 metre
Power

Power = work done =
force x distance
time taken
time
Si unit : Watt ( W ) 1 Joule/ second
Is the rate of work done when 1 Joule is achieved in one second.
*One horsepower is the equivalent of 746 Watts
Brake Horse Power
To rate the engine power.
The engine is made to do work on a device known as
dynamometer or brake loads the engine output.
Shaft Horse Power
Measure output shaft of a turboprop engine, since the power
produced at shaft is what will be delivered to propeller.

momentum
SI unit ; kgm/s
Impulse of a force
If a body was subjected to a sudden blow, shock load or
impact, it will be possible to measure change in
momentum.
Forces which have the short time duration are called the
Impulsive forces.
Change of momentum due to impulsive force is called the
Impulse.
Impact duration small impulsive force large.
Impact duration large impulsive force small.

Second Law
F = ma
Second Law
Rate of change of momentum is
proportional to the applied
force.
Third Law
For every action, there is a n
equal and opposite reaction.
Third Law
If mass A exerts force on B, then
B exerts an equal but opposite
force on A.
Changes in Momentum
Change of Momentum = final momentum - initial momentum
= ( mv)
(mu)
Rate of change of momentum = change in momentum
time taken
= mvmu
t
*The rate of change of momentum is proportional to magnitude
of force causing it.
When two bodies, one of low mass and the other of high
mass, are acted upon by the same force for the same time,
the low body mass will build up higher velocity than the
heavy mass.
For example;
At (a) mass A overtakes mass B.
At (b) mass B will be accelerated by impulsive force delivered
by mass A, and mass A will be decelerated by an impulsive
force delivered by B
At (c) after the impact, mass A and B will have new velocities
Va and Vb.
Momentum before impact equals to momentum after impact.
Example :
A moving snooker balls, each ball has its own momentum before
collision. After collision, the sum of the two balls momentum will be the
same as the sum prior to the collision even though their velocities may
have changed.
sum of momentums of balls = sum of momentum after impact

Fluid Resistance
Skin friction
Resistance present on a thin, flat plate which is edgewise on
to a fluid flow.
Near the surface, the fluid is slowed up due to roughness of
the skin, and fluid can also be considered as stationary at the
surface.
Effected by skin smoothness.
The rougher the skin, the higher the friction.
Effect of streamlining
flowing steadily over a smooth surface, narrow layers of it
follow smooth paths that are known as streamlines.
This smooth flow is also known as laminar flow.
If laminar flow encounter obstructions, the streamline will
break and become irregular or turbulent.

Static pressure
Dynamic pressure
Worked example
What is the pressure at 10.5 m deep of liquid in a pool having
the density of 2.5kg/m3 ?
Bernoullis Theorem
a principle that explains the relationship between potential
and kinetic energy in a fluid.
In a fluid the potential energy is that caused by the
pressure of the fluid, while the kinetic energy is that caused
by the fluids movement.
As a fluid enters a venturi tube, it is travelling at a known
velocity and pressure.
When the fluid enters the restriction it must speed up, or
increase its kinetic energy. However, when the kinetic
energy increases, the potential energy decreases and
therefore the pressure decreases.
thermodynamics
Laws Of Thermodynamics
First Law
Energy cannot be created or destroyed. It can only be converted
from one to another. When the energy converts from one form into
other forms the total quantity of energy remains the same.
Second Law
Heat can only transfer from a high temperature region to a lower
temperature region. It cannot naturally transfer the other way.
Third Law
The transfer of energy from matter becomes increasingly difficult
as its temperature approaches absolute zero. It is considered
impossible at absolute zero.
Temperature
Heat is a form of energy that causes molecular agitation
within a material.
is a measure of the kinetic energy of molecules.
Temperature scale;
Freezing 00C
Boiling 1000C
Farenheit Scale - when you increased the temperature of a
gas by one degree Celsius, it expands by 1/273 of its original
volume.
So if the temperature was decreased to 273 degrees below
zero, the volume of the gas would also decrease to zero, and
there would be no more molecular activity absolute zero.
On the Celsius scale absolute zero is - 273 0C. On the
Fahrenheit scale it is 4600F.
Conversion ;
C x 9/5 + 32 = F ( from Deg. Centigrade to
Farenheit )
(F - 32) x 5/9 = C ( from Farenheit to Deg. Centigrade
)
Heat
is the exchange of thermal energy from a hot body to a cold
body.
When a hot body and a cold body have contact, heat will
flow from the hot body to the cold body until they both
reach thermal equilibrium (they are at the same
temperature).
For example ;
When an aircrafts brakes are applied, the kinetic energy of
the moving aircraft is changed into heat energy by the rubbing
action of the brake friction material against the brake discs.

Engine Cycle
Carnot Cycle
consisting of two isothermal processes and two adiabatic
processes.
can be thought of as the most efficient heat engine cycle
allowed by physical laws.
the Carnot efficiency sets the limiting value on the fraction
of the heat which can be so used.
In order to approach the Carnot efficiency, the processes
involved in the heat engine cycle must be reversible and
involve no change in energy available to do work.
This means that the Carnot cycle is an idealisation, since no
real engine processes are reversible and all real physical
processes involve some increase in energy available to do
work .

Heat Pump
Optics ( light )
Speed Of Light
If the object is near to the mirror, the image will be far and
larger from the mirror but in opposite plane.
If the object is far from the mirror, the image will be nearer
and small, between the position of object and mirror in
opposite plane.
magnification = image height
object height
Refraction
Refraction Index
sine C = 1 / exists
The light rays then meet the surface of the lens at an angle to
the normal, and are then refracted.
The nature of the image will depend on the type of lens, and the
position of the object in relation to the focal length of the lens,
(the focal length is a function of the curvature of the lens
surfaces).
Fibre Optics
They are small and so, once light is introduced into the fiber
with an angle within the confines of the numerical aperture
of the fiber, it will continue to reflect almost losslessly off
the walls of the fiber and thus can travel long distances in
the fiber.
Wave motion
and sound
Wave motion
The water wave has a crest and a trough and travels from
one location to another.
The wave does not stop when it reaches the end of the
slinky; rather it seems to bounce off the end and head back
from where it started.
Categories of Waves
Waves come in many shapes and forms.
Some share basic characteristic properties and behaviours,
some waves can be distinguished from others based on
some very observable (and some non-observable)
characteristics.
It is common to categorise waves based on these
distinguishing characteristics.
Direction Of Movement
Transverse wave
Longitudinal Wave
Anatomy of Waves
Wavelength ;
a. Simply the length of one complete wave cycle.
b. Wave has a repeating pattern. And the length of one
such
Longitudinal wave
Frequency ;
a. refers to how often the particles of the medium vibrate
when a wave passes through the medium.
b. number of complete vibration cycles of a medium per a
given amount of time and it as the units of cycles per second
or Hertz (Hz) where 1 Hz is equivalent to 1 cycle/second.
c. . A detector could be used to detect the frequency of
these pressure oscillations over a given period of time.
d. unit : Hertz, Hz ( cycle / sec )
Period ;
a. the time which it takes to do something.
b. the time for a particle on a medium to make one
complete vibration cycle.
c. When an event occurs repeatedly, then we say that the
event is periodic.
d. measured in units of time such as seconds, hours, days
or years.
Interference Phenomena
Wave interference
phenomenon which occurs when two waves meet while
travelling along the same medium.
Constructive Interference
Destructive Interference
Principle of Superposition
When two waves interfere, the resulting displacement of the medium
at any location is the algebraic sum of the displacements of the
individual waves at that same location.
An interference phenomena.
When the vibration frequency of the source causes reflected
waves from one end of the medium to interfere with incident
waves from the source in such a manner that specific points
along the medium appear to be standing still.
Only created within the medium at specific frequencies of
vibration; these frequencies are known as harmonic
frequencies, or merely harmonics.
From the presence of two waves (sometimes more) of the
same frequency with different directions of travel within the
same medium.
Standing Wave
Sound
Sound wave - pressure disturbance which travels through
a medium by means of particle interaction.
As one particle becomes disturbed, it exerts a force on the
next adjacent particle, thus disturbing that particle from
rest and transporting the energy through the medium.
speed of a sound wave refers to how fast the disturbance
is passed from particle to particle.
frequency refers to the number of vibrations which an
individual particle makes per unit of time.
speed refers to the distance which the disturbance travels
per unit of time.

Doppler Effect
If the source and the observer are approaching, then the distance is
decreasing and if the source and the observer are receding, then the
distance is increasing.
