STAFFING:

SYNOPSIS:

A working knowledge of the basic laws of motion and of the concepts of
force,  energy, momentum and impulse, is fundamental to the  study  of
mechanics and the solution of many engineering problems. In this  unit
these  basic  concepts  are reviewed and a number  of  techniques  are
developed  to assist in the analysis of the plane motion of particles,
bodies, interconnected bodies, mechanisms and geared systems.

OBJECTIVES:

Upon successful completion of the unit the student should be
able to :

1. use the Free Body Diagram Method to solve problems involving
   the forces on bodies and their resulting linear and
   curvilinear motions;
   
2. analyse mechanisms and derive the velocities and accelerations
   of their components;
   
3. apply the Work Energy Equation to the solution of problems
   involving the motions of systems of particles;
   
4. apply Newton's Laws of Motion, Principles of Conservation of
   Energy and Momentum and Coulomb's Laws of Friction to problems
   involving the plane motion of particles, bodies,
   interconnected bodies, links within mechanisms, and geared
   multi shaft systems;
   
5. perform kinematic and force analysis of plane mechanisms;
   
6. analyse simple vibration of a single degree of freedom system.
