Section outline

  • This unit emphases on the dynamics of rigid bodies as it is offered in Mechanics. Both kinematics (rectilinear and curvilinear motion of particle) and kinetics (equation of motion, angular momentum, work and energy, and impulse and momentum) are dealt in details here.

     

    ILOs:

    At the end of this unit, you will be able to:

    1. Describe a particle subjected to a dynamic system

    2. Identify the basic relations between displacement, velocity and acceleration

    3. Understand the principles of kinematics and kinetics

    4. Apply data to the solution of Mechanics of Materials problems
