Learning Outcomes
1.
Describe the fundamental concepts and principles of
parallelogram law, transmissibility, Newton’s law and able
apply vector mechanics in forces such as: forces in plane,
forces in space and rigid bodies
2.
Evaluate forces in rigid bodies and equilibrium of rigid
bodies in two and three dimensions where distributed forces
for centroids and centers of gravity are determined
3.
Analyze structures, forces in beam and cables, friction and
distributed forces: moment of inertia, kinematics of particles
and systems of particles
4.
Identify and describe Kinetics of Particles: Newton's Second
Law, Energy and Momentum and Rigid bodies
Synopsis
This course exposes to the students the problems of Applied
Mechanics by using vector analysis approach which is introduced
early in the lecture and is used throughout the course. The
approach leads to a more concise derivation of the fundamental
principl
