Objectives and Contents
Objectives of the Course Unit The objective of this course is to develop an understanding of dynamics and to analyze problems in a logical and systematic manner and to develop the ability to analyze kinetics and kinematics of systems and particles
Contents of the Course Unit This course teaches students how to apply Newtonian physics to analyse relatively simple physical mechanisms. - with some emphasis on commonly encountered engineering applications. It follows on from the Statics course, but considers systems that are not in equilibrium i.e. with velocity and acceleration. Some of the topics covered are pure kinematics (a mathematical description of motion only), while others are kinetic (determine motion in problems involving the concepts of force and energy). The course is restricted to 2-D (planar) mechanisms.
Contribution of the Course Intending to Provide the Professional Education to develop the ability to analyze kinetics and kinematics of systems and particles
