This is the basic level course i dynamics that employs various problem solving methods and the laws of mechanics to analyze
and obtain solutions to fundamental problems in engineering and physics.
To develop problem solving skills in engineering mechanics through the application of concepts in statics to complex problems.
- To establish the equations of equilibrium for a rigid body or a group of rigid bodies.
- To learn to solve couple moments and the resultant moment .
- To calculate the internal forces in engineering structures composed of simple trusses.
- To analyze the static problems involving Coulomb friction and complex surface contact friction.
- To take into account the energy consrvation and principle of impulse and momentum
