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 compute the forces and couples on a mechanical system in equilibrium.
- Be able to apply the Free-Body Diagram technique, formulate kinematic relations, formulate the Newton and Euler�?Ts laws of motion for practical problems of the character treated during the course.
- Be able to prove simpler results that resemble those presented in the course.
- Be able to apply the laws treated in the course in order to explain, in qualitative terms, the outcome of mechanical experiments.
- Be able to judge whether a calculated result is reasonable.

Course contents:
- Part 1. Statistics: two- and three-dimensional force systems, couples, reduction of force systems, static equilibrium, center of gravity, Coulomb's law of friction, belt friction. Dynamics of a particle: Newton's laws of motion, velocity and acceleration in rectangular and curvilinear coordinates, work--energy and impulse--momentum principles, impact, vibrations.
- Part 2. Rigid body dynamics: kinematics (method of relative velocity and acceleration, instant center of velocity), absolute and relative derivatives of vectors, kinetics (Euler's law of motion, work--energy and impulse--momentum principles) and applications (impact, gyroscopic motion, dynamically unbalanced bodies). A computer assignment (formulation and numerical solution of the governing equations of a mechanical system).
