Course Learning Outcomes

At the end of the course, students should be able to:

1. Apply the concepts and theories learned in solving mechanics problems. ( C3 )

2. Explain the concept of mechanics in real life situations. ( A4 )
3. Evaluate problems related to real-life situations using mechanics concepts. ( C5 )

Course Description

The course introduces the basic principles of statics and dynamics. Mechanics of statics deals with equilibrium of bodies,
i.e. bodies at rest and bodies moving with a constant velocity. It includes resultant and resolution of forces, equilibrium of
a particle, force system resultant, equilibrium of rigid bodies, and moment of inertia. Mechanics of Dynamics deals with the
accelerated motion of bodies. It includes kinematics and kinetics of a particle and of a rigid body. Kinematics discusses
the relationship between displacement, velocity and acceleration against time. Kinetics covers the concepts of force and
acceleration (Newton’s laws of motion), energy and work, power, impulse and momentum, and projectiles.

Syllabus Content

1. Vector component and resultant

vector representation, resultant vector: two and more than two concurrent vectors.

2. Forces and equilibrium

Vector nature of forces, resultant force, moment and torque, resultant of moment and torque, equilibrium of concurrent

3. Kinematics of motion in straight line

Motion in a straight line, Equation of motion for a moving particles, Vertical motion under the gravity, displacement-time
graphs, velocity-time graph, differentiation and integration with respect to time.

4. Motion of a projectile
