Course No.: ME 233 Course Name: Engineering Mechanics - II
Level: 2 Term: II Credit: 3.00
Course Teacher: Prof. Dr. Kazi Afzalur Rahman
Course Objective:
The main objective of this course of mechanics is to develop in the engineering student the ability to analyze
any problem in a simple and logical manner and to apply to its solution using a few, well understood, basic
principles. This course of mechanics deals with the analysis of bodies in motion.

No.
 In this topic, the students will analyze the rectilinear motion of a particle;
that is, the position, velocity, and acceleration of a particle will be
determined at every instant as it moves along a straight line.
 The students will also learn the simultaneous motion of several particles
and the concept of the relative motion of one particle with respect to

1–4 another will be introduced.
of Particles
 The students will analyze the motion of a particle as it moves along a
curved path and the motion of a projectile will also be analyzed. The
motion of a particle relative to a reference frame in translation will be
considered. Finally, the curvilinear motion of a particle will be analyzed in
terms of components other than rectangular.
 In this topic, the students will discuss Newton’s second law and apply it to
the analysis of the motion of particles.

 The students will also learn Newton’s second law expressing in an
alternative form relating the rate of change of the linear momentum with
the resultant of the forces acting on that particle.
 The students will analyze the motion of an actual body - including bodies
as large as a car, rocket, or airplane - for the purpose of analyzing its

in terms of radial and transverse components, with particular emphasis on
the motion of a particle under a central force.
 Then, the students will deal with the motion of a particle under a central
force, i.e., under a force directed toward or away from a fixed point. This
property greatly simplifies the analysis of the motion of a particle under a
central force; and it is applied to the solution of problems involving the
orbital motion of bodies under gravitational attraction.
 In this topic, the students will learn two additional methods of analysis, the
method of work and energy and the method of impulse and momentum.
The advantage of these methods lies in the fact that they make the
determination of the acceleration unnecessary. Indeed, the method of work
and energy directly relates force, mass, velocity, and displacement, while

suited for the solution of a given problem. They will also see how the
principle of conservation of energy and the method of impulse and
momentum can be combined to solve problems involving only
conservative forces, except for a short impact phase during which
impulsive forces must also be taken into consideration.

No.
 In this topic, the students will study the motion of systems of particles, i.e.,
the motion of a large number of particles considered together.
Systems of  The first part of the chapter is devoted to systems consisting of well

Particles defined particles; the second part considers the motion of variable systems,
i.e., systems which are continually gaining or losing particles, or doing
both at the same time.
 In this topic, the students will study the kinematics of rigid bodies. They
will investigate the relations existing between time, positions, velocities,
and accelerations of the various particles forming a rigid body.
 The angular velocity and the angular acceleration of a rigid body about a
fixed axis will be defined, and the students will learn to express the
Kinematics velocity and the acceleration of a given point of the body in terms of its
20 – 24 of position vector and the angular velocity and angular acceleration of the
Rigid Bodies body.
 The students will also study of the general plane motion of a rigid body
and to its application to the analysis of mechanisms such as gears,
connecting rods, and pin-connected linkages.
 An alternative method for the analysis of velocities in plane motion, based
on the concept of instantaneous center of rotation, will also be studied.
 In this topic, the students will study the kinetics of rigid bodies, i.e., the
relations existing between the forces acting on a rigid body, the shape and
mass of the body, and the motion produced. The shape of the body, as well
as the exact location of the points of application of the forces, will be taken

 After considering the plane motion of connected rigid bodies, the students
will be prepared to solve a variety of problems involving the translation,
centroidal rotation, and unconstrained motion of rigid bodies.
 In this topic, the students will study the method of work and energy and the
Plane Motion method of impulse and momentum to analyze the plane motion of rigid

axis of symmetry.
