    Description
    This course is an introduction to kinematics and kinetics of particles and rigid bodies. Vector analysis and calculus are used extensively as the tool to describe the motion of the systems and also to study the kinetics of particles and rigid bodies. Topics involved are the geometry of the motion (kinematics), and the methods of analysis, which include second law of motion, work-energy and momentum-impulse methods as applied to particles, system of particles and the rigid bodies. The mechanical vibration of particles and the rigid bodies are also studied in detail. It includes free and forced vibration, with and without damping. C-ID: ENGR 230.
