Question

The use of the D’Alembert’s principle is for ________.

डी'अलेम्बर्ट के सिद्धांत का उपयोग ________ के लिए है।

A.

determining the stresses in the truss

B.

stability of floating bodies

C.

reduction of problems of kinetics to equivalent statics problem

D.

design of safe structures

Answer ( Option C)

reduction of problems of kinetics to equivalent statics problem

Solution

D’Alembert’s principle is used to reduce the kinetics problems to equivalent statics problems.

Hence, the correct option is (C).

&Key Points:-

D’Alembert’s principle : It states that, “If a rigid body is acted upon by a system of forces, this system may be reduced to a single resultant force whose magnitude, direction and the line of action may be found out by the methods of graphic statics.”

We know that,

Force acting on a body (F) = ma       …(i)

Where, m = Mass of the body

            a = Acceleration of the body

Equation (i) may also be written as :

                   F - ma = 0                       … (ii)

Here, eqn. (i) is the equation of dynamics whereas the eqn. (ii) is the equation of statics, also known as the equation of dynamic equilibrium under the action of the real force F.
