LEARNING OUTCOMES
After the course the student will be able to:
- Employ the most generally used coordinate systems in effec-tive derivation of equations of motion for a particle.
- Express the quantities required in describing the motion of a rigid body in most commonly used coordinate systems.
- Deduce the equations of motion for a rigid body starting from the definitions of its mass properties and quantities describing its motion in most commonly used coordinate systems.
- Apply Lagrange s formalism and the quantities related to it in derivation of equations of conservative and non-conservative systems.
