Principle of Work and Energy
If T,and V, are, respectively, the kinetic and potential energy of a particle at state i, then for conservative systems (no energy
dissipation or gain), the law of conservation of energy is,

If nonconservative forces are present, then the work done by these forces must be accounted for. Hence

Assuming constant mass, the equation of motion ofa particle may be written as

For a system of particles, by integrating and summing over the number of particles, this may be expanded to
Zm(w),, = E(u), +B [Rade
The term on the left side of the equation is the linear momentum of a system of particles at time ¢,. The first term on the right
side of the equation is the linear momentum of a system of particles at time ¢,. The second term on the right side of the equation
is the impulse of the force F from time f, to ,. It should be noted that the above equation is a veetor equation, Component sealar
equations may be obtained by considering the momentum and force in a set of orthogonal directions.

Friction
‘The Laws of Friction are
1. The total friction force F that can be developed is independent of the magnitude of the area of contact.
2. The total friction force F that can be developed is proportional to the normal force N.
3. For low velocities of sliding, the total frictional force that can be developed is practically independent of the sliding
velocity, although experiments show that the force F necessary to initiate slip is greater than that necessary to maintain
the motion.
