Course general description:
The Course focuses on the following fundamental concepts: Kinematics of particles,
Kinetics of particles using the principle of Newton’s law of motion and the principle of work end energy to describe the equation of motion, planer kinematics of rigid body, Planer kinetics of rigid body using Newton’s law and Energy method and finally an introduction to vibrations.
Course objectives:
.
This course is designed to provide the students with a working knowledge of particle
& rigid-body mechanics and to train them in developing mathematical models (Free
Body Diagrams) and in solving basic mechanics problems in scientific and logical manners.

Final Examination
Expected workload:
On average students need to spend 2 hours of study and preparation for each one hour lecture/tutorial.
Attendance policy:
Absence from lectures and/or tutorials shall not exceed 15%. Students who exceed the 15% limit without a medical or emergency excuse acceptable to and approved by the Dean of the relevant college/faculty shall not be allowed to take the final examination and shall receive a mark of zero for the course. If the excuse is approved by the Dean, the student shall be considered to have withdrawn from the course.
