Learning Outcomes
1.
Comprehend the concepts of kinematics and kinetics, and
dynamics of particles and rigid bodies
2.
Apply Newton, energy, momentum, and impulse methods in
solving motion and dynamic problems.
3.
Analyze the motion of particles and rigid bodies by
considering the mass and external force acting on them
4.
Correlate the dynamics of particles to solve for the design of
two- and three-dimensional problems.
Synopsis
This course exposes the student to applied mechanics by using
vector analysis approach which is introduced early in the lecture
and used throughout the presentation of statics and dynamics.
This approach leads to more concise derivations of the
fundamental principles of mechanics. It also results in simpler
solutions of three-dimensional problems in statics, and makes it
possible to analyze many advanced problem in kinematics and
kinetics, which could not be solved by scalar methods. The
emphasis in this syllabus, however, remains on the correct
deriving and applying of the principles of mechanics and on their
application to the solution of engineering problems, and vector
analysis is presented chiefly as a convenient tool.
