- Apply the Newton's laws and analyze particle motion in non-inertial reference systems. - Analyze systems of forces and moments and their equivalent at a point under equilibrium conditions. - Analyze oscillatory and simple harmonic motion - Solve motion problems based on the work and energy concepts |
Content |
---|
The topics covered in General Mechanics 2 are a continuation of the topics covered in General Mechanics 1 by addressing the topics of Statics and Dynamics: 1- Newton's laws: basic concepts (force, mass), the three laws of motion, common forces 2- System of forces: forces resultant, force-moment equivalent at a point, particle equilibrium and its conditions 3- Non-inertial reference systems: ficitious forces, types of friction (static and dynamic) 4- Oscillations: Free undamped oscillations, simple harmonic motion, spring-mass sytems, simple pendulum, damped oscillations basics 5- Work and Energy: work, energy, power, work of common forces, work-energy theorem 6- Work and Energy: kinetic energy, gravitational potential energy, elastic potential energy, energy conservation. |
