DYNAMICS OF RIGID BODIES

(MEES 103)

 COURSE DESCRIPTION

The course deals with the forces acting on bodies in motion. It includes kinematics
of machines and kinetics of particles of rigid bodies such as rectilinear and curvilinear
translation and rotational motions

LEARNING OUTCOMES

After completing the course, you should have been able to:

1. Apply the principles governing the motion of particles, velocity and acceleration in
solving engineering problems;
2. Apply the principles of Newton’s Second Law in solving engineering problems;
3. Apply the principles of kinetics of particles, kinematics of rigid bodies and
momentum methods in solving engineering problems
