Objectives of the Course To enable students to develop their analytical skills by understanding the basic concepts of dynamics of particles and rigid bodies, in addition to different types of motions and its governing equations.
Course Content This course covers the motion of moving solids, and the relation between speed, momentum and force. Topics include particle dynamics, linear and curvilinear motion, combination of motions, Newton’s laws, Impulse, momentum and angular momentum, solid dynamics, kinematics, Euler’s laws, and work and energy calculations.
