Course description
This course is an introduction to the study of mechanics. It deals with fundamental points from classical mechanics to engineering mechanics. Physics is foundation in all fields of natural science, and industrial technology. Especially mechanics is very important discipline. Basic process of all natural phenomena, machine and device, up to elemental particle from the universe, biology and chemistry, operate by the laws of physics. You will learn a part of statics and dynamics, for example, the balance of forces in the plane and three-dimensional and the stability of the object of the center of gravity and the balance.
Purpose of class
This course lectures (1)Basic mathematics in statics, (2)Particle mechanics, (3)Rigid-body dynamics, (4)Center of rigid-body.
Goals and objectives
  1. To understand essence of force in statics rather than decomposition and composition of force, couple of force and calculation of moment.
  2. To be able to calculate force acting on member by knowing balance of forces acting on contact point and fulcrum.
  3. To be able to calculate position of the center of gravity of the object by knowing the center of gravity of the shapes and revolution.
