Aim:
The purpose of the course is to give the students an understanding knowledge of the basic laws of classical mechanics, and to give them the ability to independently apply these laws on concrete mechanical problems. After the course the student should be able to:
- define the fundamental concepts used in mechanics as presented in the course, such as force, moment, static equilibrium and center of mass and center of gravity.
- perform free-body diagrams of bodies
- calculate forces and do equilibrium analysis for a mechanical system in static rest.
- analyse mechanical system with friction.
- derive some of the relations which are included in the course.
- interpret and solve practical engineering problems.
- identify obviously unreasonable results
