Course Objectives:

• To teach the two fundamental subjects of dynamics, namely; kinematics (relations between position/velocity/acceleration and time) and kinetics (relations between force, mass, acceleration and time) of dynamic bodies with engineering examples. • To teach students the notion of inertia, at the university level, and its importance in engineering systems in motion. • To give them the ability to analyze forces and motion.

Course Content:

Dynamics of particles: Rectilinear and curvilinear motion. Newton’s laws, momentum and angular momentum methods. Work and energy. System of particles. Dynamics of rigid bodies in plane motion; kinematics and kinetics. Work and energy method and the momentum principles for rigid bodies.

Course Methodology:
