Aim:
The purpose of the course is to give the student basic knowledge in mechanics.
After the course the student should be able to:
- use kinematics to describe motion
- solve problems, describe phenomenon, and perform mechanical calculations by using Newton's laws of motion and conservation laws
- apply the theory in order to determine statics and dynamics of particles, particle systems, rigid bodies, and fluids
- perform and anlyze mechanical experiments
