Learning Outcomes

At the end of this course, students should be able to:

[1]    Identify variety of problems in engineering dynamics.

[2]    Discuss the concepts of energy-work done, linear momentum-linear impulse, angular momentum-angular impulse and simple gyroscopic motion.

[3]    Construct strategies and analyze the dynamics of particles and rigid bodies using principle of force and acceleration, work and energy, and momentum.

Synopsis

The course develops student’s ability to solve a range of problems in engineering dynamics. Topics covered include; kinematic, force and acceleration, work and energy, and momentum and impulse formulation for systems of particles and rigid bodies. Newton’s laws, energy and linear momentum principles are also covered.
