Engineering Mechanics: Dynamics

Course Description:
This course analyses the kinematics of the body motion. It includes the point body motion analysis using the kinematics principles, conservation of energy, and conservation of momentum. The second part of the course analyses the motion of rigid body with the same methods used for the point body in addition to include the rotational velocity and acceleration with the body geometries.

Course Outline:
