Course Outcomes:

Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:

  1.  Solve dynamics problems using appropriate scalar and vector notation.
  2. Choose the appropriate coordinate system(s) to solve dynamics problems for particles and rigid bodies.
  3. Compute the mass moment of inertia and radius of gyration for a rigid body.
  4. Solve kinematic problems involving particles including rectilinear motion, curvilinear motion, and projectile motion.
  5. Solve kinematic problems involving rigid bodies including translation, rotation, and general plane motion.
  6. Solve kinetic motion problems applying Newton’s Laws of Motion to particles and rigid bodies.
  7. Apply the concepts of work, energy, and power to solve particle and rigid body problems.
  8. Apply impulse-momentum methods to solve problems involving particles and rigid bodies.
  9. Solve elastic and inelastic impact problems for particles and rigid bodies.
