This course is designed for engineering students. It covers Newton's laws, kinematics, statics, and dynamics for particles and systems of particles, static and rotational equilibrium, analysis of structures, planar motion of rigid bodies, as well as Thermodynamics. The emphasis of this course will be on solving problems.
Rigid Body Equilibrium (force+moment-balance, 6 equations)
Structural analysis
Internal forces
Friction (sliding, static)
Kinematics (v, a, t-, x-dependent, cylindrical coordinates)
Kinetics (F=ma problems in various coordinates)
Thermodynamics (Zeroth law and heat capacity; kinetic theory; first law of thermodynamics; heat engines)
