Engineering System in Motion: Dynamics of Particles and Bodies in 2D Motion

Course Description

This course is an introduction to the study of bodies in motion, as applied to engineering systems and structures. You will study the dynamics of particle motion and bodies in rigid planar (2D) motion, which consists of both the kinematics and kinetics of motion. Kinematics deals with the geometrical aspects of motion, describing position, velocity, and acceleration, all as a function of time. Kinetics is the study of forces acting on these bodies, and how it affects their motion.
