Course Objectives: |
By the end of the course, you will acquire the
following skills:
 | Kinematics - You will be able to choose an
appropriate coordinate system and analyze the motion (position,
velocity, and acceleration) of particle and rigid body systems
|
| Kinetics - You will be able to derive the
equations of motion of particles and rigid bodies and solve them to
describe the motion over a period of time |
| Graphical Techniques - You will learn to
use graphical representations including free body diagrams
that facilitate the solution and understanding of the dynamics |
| Computational Skills - You will use
various computational tools to solve dynamics problems |
|

Homework Assignments and Grading: |
Homework assignments are designed to reinforce the
principles and applications discussed in class. They will facilitate
your learning outcomes and your ability to perform well in the exams.
|
|
| |
Problems will be assigned each Monday via
e-mail messages to you.
The assigned problems to be graded will be due on the
following Monday in class. Graded homework will be returned on the
Friday after the due date. You are encouraged to discuss the
assignments, but material submitted for grading must be the product of
your own effort. |
|
| |
Solutions to the
graded and ungraded problems will be available on the course website
after 5:00 p.m. on the Friday the homework is returned. |
|
| |
Late homework
submission: |
|
| |
Homework submitted on
Wednesday will incur 50% grade reduction. There will be no credit for
homework submitted after Wednesday. Please let me know before the
homework due date if you will be late because of a verifiable illness,
emergency or other contingency. |
