2. OBJECTIVE : :
Engineering Mechanics adheres to a wide spectrum of Engineering Disciplines as a basic course at undergraduate
level to understand the mechanics of statics and dynamics of a system hitherto, the system/body assumed to be
rigid with no deformation under the application of tractions and forces. Principles based on Newtonian
Mechanics, Variational Mechanics, D‘Alembert‘s Principle etc. are core to the preliminary analysis of systems in
equilibrium. The impetus of the study shall understand the continuum mechanics model with applicability to
almost all branches of engineering.

3. COURSE CONTENT : :
UNIT I (6 Lectures)
Introduction to position vector, force vector and moment vector, 3-D representation of force and couple;
their moments about a point/line; Distributed-force systems
UNIT II (8 Lectures)
