Rules of Resolution of a Force
Nallimilli’s Law1:
If Force is away from the origin ( intersection of co – ordinate axis X&Y ) and making an angle with either of the axis, the corresponding axis component is always “cos” the opposite axis component is always “sin” using the sign symbols of corresponding quadrant.
Explanation: In above diagram P is in first quadrant, the sign symbols for both components are positive. If an angle makes with X-axis then the resolution component of P corresponding to X-axis is Pcosθ, opposite component is Psinθ related to Y-axis, if an angle makes with Y-axis then the resolution component of P corresponding to Y-axis is Pcosθ, opposite component is Psinθ related to X-axis
If angle with X-Axis Px = + Pcosθ, Py= +Psinθ ; If angle with Y-Axis Px = + Psinθ, Py= +Pcosθ
Nallimilli’s Law2:
If Force is towards the origin ( intersection of co – ordinate axis X&Y ) and making an angle with either of the axis, shift the force component into opposite quadrant and away from the intersection of co-ordinate axis, and perfectly shift the angle also with the same axis at the
initial quadrant position then implement law1
Explanation: In above diagram P is in first quadrant & towards origin, shifts P to opposite quadrant i.e. third quadrant, the sign symbols for both components are Negative. If an angle makes with X-axis then shift the angle with same X-axis in opposite quadrant, using law1 resolution component of P corresponding to X-axis is Pcosθ, opposite component is Psinθ related to Y-axis, If an angle makes with Y-axis then shift the angle with same Y-axis in opposite quadrant, using law1 resolution component of P corresponding to Y-axis is Pcosθ, opposite component is Psinθ related to X-axis
If angle with X-Axis in first quadrant after shifting same angle with X-axis in third quadrant
Px = - Pcosθ, Py = -Psinθ
If angle with Y-Axis in first quadrant after shifting same angle with Y-axis in third quadrant
Px = - Psinθ, Py = -Pcosθ
Resolution component of force P Px Py
With X-axis in first quadrant + Pcosθ +Psinθ
With Y-axis in first quadrant +Psinθ + Pcosθ
With X-axis in second quadrant -Pcosθ +Psinθ
With Y-axis in second quadrant -Psinθ + Pcosθ
With X-axis in third quadrant -Pcosθ -Psinθ
With Y-axis in third quadrant -Psinθ -Pcosθ
With X-axis in third quadrant +Pcosθ -Psinθ
With Y-axis in third quadrant +Psinθ -Pcosθ

Foundation of Non Circuit Engineering (Engineering Mechanics)
Measurement of angel’s : There are two common systems of measuring angel’s
1.sexagesimal measure : According to this system, divide a right angle 90 into equal parts called degrees. Each degree is divided into sixty equal parts called minutes and each minute is divided into sixty equal parts called seconds. Denoting one degree, one minute and one second by the symbols 10 1’1”.
2. Circular measure : The unit of measurement is called radian . ∏ is an irrational number. Its approximate value is 22/7. Its value correct to 5 decimal places is 3.14159. Sometimes1/∏ value also required & is given by 0.31831.
Relation between degree & radian {1 radian = 1800 x 1/∏ = 57017’44.8”}; 10 = ∏ /180 radian
Formulas from Trigonometry:
1. sin2A + cos2A = 1 ; sin2A = 1- cos2A ; cos2A = 1- sin2A
2. 1+tan2A = sec2A ; tan2A = sec2A -1 ; tan2A - sec2A = 1
3. sin(A+B) = sin A . cos B + cos A . sin B
4. sin(A - B) = sin A . cos B - cos A . sin B
5. cos(A+B) = cos A . cos B – sin A . sin B
6. cos(A - B) = cos A . cos B + sin A . sin B
7. sin(A+B) . sin(A - B) = sin2A-sin2B = cos2B- cos2A
8. cos(A+B) . cos(A - B) = cos2A – sin2B = cos2B-sin2A
9. sin2θ = 2 sinθ cosθ = 2tan θ / 1+tan2θ
10. cos2θ = cos2θ – sin2θ =1- tan2θ / 1+tan2θ = 1-2 Sin2θ =2cos2θ -1
Formulas from Differentiation:
1. y = xn, dy/dx = nxn-1
2. y = ex, dy/dx = ex
3. y = log x, dy/dx = 1/x
4. y = ax, dy/dx = ax log a
5. y = sinx , dy/dx = cos x
6. y = cosx, dy/dx = - sinx
Scalars & Vectors
Those quantities which have only magnitude and are not related to any direction in space are called scalars. Whereas those which have both magnitude and direction are called vector quantities.
1. Vectors are said to be like vectors when they have the same sense of direction, unlike vectors when they are in opposite direction.
2. When two or more vectors are said to be collinear vectors when they act along the same line of action & parallel vectors when they are in parallel lines
3. Three or more vectors are said to be coplanar when they are parallel to the same plane or lie in the same plane whatever their magnitudes be (**two vectors are always coplanar)
4. Two vectors are said to be equal when they have the same length(magnitude &are parallel having the same sense of direction)are called as equal vectors.
5. If the origin and terminal points of a vector coincide, then it is said to be a zero vector
6. { Unit vector = Force vector / Magnitude of vector}
7. The vectors having the same initial point are call co –initial vectors.
8. A vector drawn parallel to a given vector through a specified point in space is called a localized vector. But if the origin of vectors is not specified the vectors are called free vectors.
Formulas from Vectors
1. a.b = b.a = ab cosθ
if the scalar product is of two vectors is zero, then at least one of the vectors is a zero vector or they are perpendicular.
2. a.(b+c) = a.b + a.c
3. i2=j2=k2=1
4. i.j=j.k=k.i=0
5. a x b ≠ b x a but a x b = - b x a
6. i x i = j x j = k x k =0
7. i x j = k = - j x i ; j x k = i = - k x j; k x i = - i x k
8. if a = a1i+a2j+a3j ; b = b1i+b2j+b3k then a x b is given by
a x b = (a2b3 – a3b2) i +(a3b1-a1b3) j + (a1b2 – a2b1) k
