Mechanics:- Mechanics is the study of motion of physical bodies. The possible and actual motion of physical objects, whether large or small, falls under the domain of mechanics. Conservation Laws:- The word conservation applies in the sense of constantness when some characteristics of motion of a system remain constant in time. There are conservation laws relating momentum, angular momentum, various other quantities. Conservation laws prove to be very powerful tools in solving mechanical problems. to energy, charge linear and
Mechanicsof Particle:- We shall study the conservation laws for a particle in motion mechanics. i) Conservationof linearmomentum: Conservation of linear momentum follows immediately from Newton s second law of motion in the form, using Newtonian
ii) Conservationof Angularmomentum: Angular momentum is the analogue of linear momentum in the case of rotational motion. Consider a particle of mass momentum p at a position r relative to origin O. m and linear
Constraints:- The meaning of constraints is the restrictions. Any kind of restrictions on the motion of the system is known as constrained motion refers to a restricted motion. Motion along a specified path is the simplest example of aconstrained motion. Foreg. (i)In a rigid body, the constraints on the motion of its constituent particles keep the distances between the particles unchanged. constraints. Thus
(ii)Molecules of a gas filled in a container are constrained by the walls of the container. Thus the molecules can move inside the containeronly. (iii)Bob of simple pendulum of length l is constrained to move up. The constraints can be classified into two categories (1)Holonomic Constraints (2)Non-Holonomic Constraints
(i)Holonomic Constraints:- When the conditions of the constraint can be expressed in the form of equations, connecting the co-ordinates of the particle and time t as
If a particle is allowed to move on the circumference of circle, then only one co- ordinate is sufficient to describe the motion, because radius a of circle remains the same. If r is the position vector of particle at any angular co-ordinate relative to thecentre of circle then
Holonomic constraints are further classified as (i)Rheonomic (ii)Scleronomic When the equation expressing the constraint contain the time t as an explicit variable, the constraint is said to be rheonomic . An example of rheonomic constraint is the motion of bob in a simple pendulum. The position vector of bob depends on the time t .
When the equation expressing the constraint is not contain the time t as an explicit variable, it is said to be scleronomic. Foreg. Position of particles in rigid body. (2)Non-Holonomic Constraints:- When the conditions of constraint cannot be expressed in the form of equation (1) connecting the co-ordinates of particles and time t , it is called as the Non-Holonomicconstraints. e.g. For a gas in a container, the constraint is constituted by the walls of container, can not be expressed in the form of a mathematical equation.
