ESC-212 Dynamics

This course is the second semester of a two-semester sequence in Engineering Mechanics. It presents the fundamental laws of Newtonian dynamics for particles and rigid bodies, provides a rigorous methodology for solution of problems, and presents a wide variety of examples of application. Subject areas discussed are kinematics and kinetics of particles and rigid bodies including rectilinear, relative, curvilinear, rotational and, plane motion; Newton's Laws, dynamic equilibrium, angular momentum, work-energy principle, impulse-momentum principle, and angular momentum.
