LEARNING OUTCOMES
After the course, the
student will be able to: Describe mathematically the motion of a particle or
rigid body. Calculate the forces/moments causing the motion of a particle or
rigid body. Use the principles of mechanics to solve engineering problems involving
a particle or rigid body in motion.
