If the lines of action of more than one force acting on an object coincide at the same point, the total moment of the forces is zero and this object can be examined as a particle.

2.1 Direct application of equation F = ma

(2.1.a)

 

The force F acting on an object gives the object an acceleration in its own direction. There is a relationship between force, acceleration and mass as follows:

 

This independent equation is called Newton's 2nd law.

 

Resultant Force

 

 

 

 

Since the acceleration and the resultant force are in the same direction, this equation between them can also be written as a scalar:

Effective forces system: m.a (mass x acceleration) terms are called effective forces. They are drawn on the right.

 

Effective forces system

2.1.1 D’Alembert’s Principle:

It is a different interpretation of the equation F = ma. It is the method we will use in solving problems.

External forces system: It is the figure showing the external forces acting on the object. Or it is the Free Body Diagram of the object.

As a result, for each of the x, y and z directions, the external forces system at a time t is equalized to the effective forces system. From equations 2.3, the unknown values ​​(force or acceleration) are obtained.

External forces system

Tip 2.1 : In the external forces system and the effective forces system, the positive directions are chosen the same.

Tip 2.2 : It is necessary to be aware that the calculations are made for a moment t.

A system consisting of more than one particle is called a particle system. D’Alembert’s Principle can also be applied to this system.

Note-1: 2nd solution alternative: Instead of D'Alembert's principle, the solution is reached by transferring the terms on the right side of the equations 2.3 to the left. In this case, the product ma is the inertia force.

Acceleration is accepted in the +x direction. If you pay attention, its sign is negative. This shows that it is in the opposite direction of the direction we have chosen. The operations are written assuming that the acceleration due to gravity is positive.
