Engineering Mechanics Dynamics, 10th Edition
R.C. Hibbeler
Pearson Prentice Hall
ISBN: 0-13-141678-2
Course Description:
The kinematics of particles is introduced with topics such as rectilinear motion and curvilinear
motion. The kinetics of particles is covered utilizing Newton's Second Law, energy and impulsemomentum principles. Kinematics of rigid bodies is included and covers translational and
rotational motions. Kinetics of rigid bodies is also covered for translation, rotation and general
plane motion.
Topics
 Dynamics of a Particle: Coordinate System
 Particle motion: Curvilinear Coordinates
 Work-Energy and Impulse & Momentum for a Particle
 Rigid Bodies: Force-Mass-Acceleration
 Rigid Bodies: Work-Energy
 Rigid Bodies: Impulse & Momentum
Homework/Quizzes
Homework will be assigned according to provided schedule. Modifications to the schedule may
be announced in class, via e-mail or through the class website. You are required to read the
textbook in addition to solving the homework problems. The homework will not be collected.
About 10 quizzes will be given covering the class and homework material. Credit will be given for
quizzes. There are NO make up quizzes. At the end of the semester the lowest quiz grade will be
dropped.

Pledged work
You may consult with your fellow students if you have difficulties with homework problems – in
fact, discussion is encouraged. Each student is expected to fully comply with the Honor Code:
NO CHEATING IN ANY WAY OR FORM. If a student is caught cheating, s/he will receive an
AUTOMATIC F for the course. Moreover, if a student sees someone else cheating, s/he should
REPORT the incident to the instructor. Plagiarism is of course considered cheating.
