ENGR 261 - Dynamics

PREREQUISITES: ENGR 260 - Vector Mechanics-Statics.
PROGRAM: Engineering
CREDIT HOURS MIN: 3
LECTURE HOURS MIN: 3
DATE OF LAST REVISION: Spring, 2019

Covers rectilinear and curvilinear motions, force, mass and acceleration, projectiles, pendulums, inertia forces in machines, work and energy, impulse and momentum and impact.

MAJOR COURSE LEARNING OBJECTIVES: Upon successful completion of this course the student will be expected to:

Relate displacement, velocity, acceleration, and time without reference to the cause of motion for particles in 3-D motion and rigid bodies in plane motion.
Derive equations of motion for particles and rigid bodies.
Predict the 3-D motion of particles and plane motion of rigid bodies caused by forces.
Determine the forces required to produce a given 3-D motion for particles and plane motion for rigid bodies.

COURSE CONTENT: Topical areas of study include -

Translation
