Eligibility:
In order to be eligible for a first cycle course the applicant needs to fulfil the general and specific entry requirements of the programme(s) that has the course included in the study programme.
Course specific prerequisites
The courses Algebra and Calculus or corresponding knowledge.
Aim
The aim of the course is that the students are to attain knowledge of the basic principles and concepts of classical mechanics (mainly in statics), which is required for further studies in the field of mechanical engineering.
Learning outcomes (after completion of the course the student should be able to)
Describe the basic concepts and laws of classical mechanics.
Apply these laws and concepts in solving problems.
Handle the force as a vector and the necessary vector algebra.
Solve problems on equilibrium in two and three dimensions.
Determine the centre of mass for various bodies.
Describe the concepts of work, energy, linear momentum and angular momentum.
Formulate the mathematical model for a given mechanical system and carry out the analysis.
Content
Fundamental concepts. Force systems and reduction of force systems. Conditions of equilibrium, free-body diagrams, statical determinacy and indeterminacy. Centre of mass, centre of gravity. Friction. Kinematics of particles. Kinetics of particles.
Organisation
The course includes 35 lectures.
