1. Mechanics: Forces and Moments | 力学:力与力矩
A force is a vector quantity measured in newtons (N). When multiple forces act on a body, the resultant force can be found by vector addition. A moment is the turning effect of a force about a pivot, calculated as the product of the force and the perpendicular distance from the pivot to the line of action of the force.
力是一个矢量,单位为牛顿 (N)。当多个力作用于一个物体时,合力可通过矢量加法求得。力矩是力对于支点的转动效应,等于力与支点到力作用线的垂直距离的乘积。
M = F × d
where M = moment (N m), F = force (N), d = perpendicular distance from pivot (m).
其中 M = 力矩 (N m),F = 力 (N),d = 支点到力作用线的垂直距离 (m)。
For a body in static equilibrium, the sum of clockwise moments about any pivot equals the sum of anticlockwise moments about that same pivot. This is known as the principle of moments.
对于处于静力平衡的物体,对任意支点,所有顺时针力矩之和等于所有逆时针力矩之和。这就是力矩原理。
ΣMclockwise = ΣManticlockwise
In vector addition, forces can be resolved into horizontal and vertical components. For a force F at an angle θ to the horizontal:
在矢量加法中,力可分解为水平和垂直分量。对于一个与水平方向成 θ 角的力 F:
Fx = F cos θ, Fy = F sin θ
Couples consist of two equal and opposite parallel forces whose lines of action do not coincide. The moment of a couple is F × d, where d is the perpendicular distance between the forces. This creates pure rotation without resultant linear force.
力偶由两个大小相等、方向相反且作用线不重合的平行力组成。力偶的力矩为 F × d,其中 d 是两力之间的垂直距离。力偶产生无合力的纯转动效应。
2. Mechanical Energy and Power | 机械能与功率
Work done by a constant force is the product of the force and the distance moved in the direction of the force. Energy is the capacity to do work, and both are measured in joules (J).
恒力所做的功等于力与在力方向上移动的距离的乘积。能量是做功的能力,功和能量的单位都是焦耳 (J)。
W = F × s or W = F s cos θ
where F is the force, s is the displacement, and θ is the angle between the force and displacement vectors.
其中 F 是力,s 是位移,θ 是力与位移矢量之间的夹角。
Gravitational potential energy (GPE) and kinetic energy (KE) are two fundamental mechanical energy forms.
重力势能 (GPE) 和动能 (KE) 是两种基本的机械能形式。
GPE = m g h
KE = ½ m v²
where m = mass (kg), g = acceleration of free fall (9.81 m s⁻²), h = height (m), v = velocity (m s⁻¹).
其中 m = 质量 (kg),g = 自由落体加速度 (9.81 m s⁻²),h = 高度 (m),v = 速度 (m s⁻¹)。
Power is the rate of doing work or transferring energy. The efficiency of a system is the ratio of useful output power to total input power.
功率是做功或转换能量的速率。系统的效率是有用输出功率与总输入功率之比。
P = W / t or P = F v
η = (useful power output / total power input) × 100%
The principle of conservation of energy states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed, only transferred or converted from one form to another.
能量守恒定律表明,能量既不会凭空产生也不会凭空消失,只能从一种形式转移或转化为另一种形式。
3. Kinematics: Linear and Angular Motion | 运动学:线性和角运动
Linear motion with constant acceleration is described by the SUVAT equations. These link displacement (s), initial velocity (u), final velocity (v), acceleration (a) and time (t).
匀加速直线运动由 SUVAT 方程描述。这些方程联系了位移 (s)、初速度 (u)、末速度 (v)、加速度 (a) 和时间 (t)。
v = u + a t
s = u t + ½ a t²
v² = u² + 2 a s
s = ½ (u + v) t
For angular motion, analogous quantities are angular displacement (θ), angular velocity (ω), angular acceleration (α) and time (t). The equations have the same form, with angular quantities replacing linear ones.
对于角运动,类似量有角位移 (θ)、角速度 (ω)、角加速度 (α) 和时间 (t)。方程形式相同,只需用角量替换线量即可。
ω = ω₀ + α t, θ = ω₀ t + ½ α t², ω² = ω₀² + 2 α θ
The relationship between linear and angular velocity for a point at radius r is v = r ω. Similarly, tangential acceleration a = r α.
半径为 r 的点,其线速度与角速度的关系为 v = r ω。类似地,切向加速度 a = r α。
4. Dynamics and Newton’s Laws | 动力学与牛顿定律
Newton’s three laws of motion are the foundation of dynamics. The first law defines inertia: a body remains at rest or in uniform motion unless acted upon by a resultant force. The second law quantifies the relationship between force, mass and acceleration. The third law states that every action has an equal and opposite reaction.
牛顿运动三定律是动力学的基础。第一定律定义了惯性:物体将保持静止或匀速直线运动状态,除非有合力作用于它。第二定律量化了力、质量与加速度的关系。第三定律指出,每个作用力都有一个大小相等、方向相反的反作用力。
F = m a
where F = resultant force (N), m = mass (kg), a = acceleration (m s⁻²).
其中 F = 合力 (N),m = 质量 (kg),a = 加速度 (m s⁻²)。
Momentum is the product of mass and velocity. The principle of conservation of momentum is crucial for analysing collisions and explosions.
动量是质量与速度的乘积。动量守恒定律在分析碰撞和爆炸时至关重要。

Impulse is the change in momentum, and it equals the average force multiplied by the time for which it acts.
冲量是动量的变化量,等于平均力乘以力作用的时间。
Impulse = F Δ t = Δ p = m v – m u
Frictional forces oppose relative motion. The maximum static friction is proportional to the normal reaction force, Ff ≤ μ R, where μ is the coefficient of friction.

where p = pressure (Pa), ρ = fluid density (kg m⁻³), g = 9.81 m s⁻², h = height/depth (m).
其中 p = 压力 (Pa),ρ = 流体密度 (kg m⁻³),g = 9.81 m s⁻²,h = 高度/深度 (m)。
For incompressible fluids flowing along a pipe, the volume flow rate Q = A v remains constant (continuity equation). A is the cross-sectional area and v is the fluid velocity.
对于沿管道流动的不可压缩流体,体积流量 Q = A v 保持恒定(连续性方程)。A 为横截面积,v 为流体速度。
A₁ v₁ = A₂ v₂
Bernoulli’s principle relates pressure, kinetic energy per unit volume and potential energy per unit volume for steady, inviscid, incompressible flow along a streamline.
伯努利原理联系了沿流线的稳定、无黏、不可压缩流动中的压力、单位体积动能和单位体积势能。
p + ½ ρ v² + ρ g h = constant
Hydraulic systems use Pascal’s principle: pressure applied to an enclosed fluid is transmitted undiminished to all parts. Force multiplication is based on area ratios: F₁/A₁ = F₂/A₂.
液压系统利用帕斯卡原理:施加在密闭流体上的压力会无衰减地传递到各处。力的放大基于面积比:F₁/A₁ = F₂/A₂。
7. Thermodynamics and Heat Transfer | 热力学与热传递
Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of particles. Heat is energy transferred due to a temperature difference. The specific heat capacity quantifies the energy required to raise the temperature of 1 kg of a substance by 1 K.

SI base units in engineering are: metre (m), kilogram (kg), second (s), ampere (A), kelvin (K), mole (mol), candela (cd). Derived units such as newton (N = kg m s⁻²), joule (J = N m), watt (W = J s⁻¹), pascal (Pa = N m⁻²) and volt (V = J C⁻¹) must be understood. Prefixes from pico (p, 10⁻¹²) to tera (T, 10¹²) often appear in exam data.
