Aim:
The purpose of the course is to give the students an understanding knowledge of the basic laws of classical mechanics, and ability to independently apply the laws on concrete mechanical problems. After the course the student should:
- Know the definitions of the fundamental concepts used in mechanics as presented in the course, such as force, couple, equilibrium, mass center, velocity, acceleration, linear momentum, angular momentum, mass moment of inertia, linear impulse, angular impulse, power, work and energy.
- Be able to define and compute the quantities above in situations in engineering mechanics.
- Be able to prove simpler results that resemble those presented in the course.
- Be able to judge whether a calculated result is reasonable.
