COURSE DESCRIPTION
This course will include an introduction of the
kinematics of the particle, rectilinear, curvelinear and
projectile motions, as well as force and acceleration
(Kinetic). Moreover, work and energy of a particle,
rotation of a body about a fixed axis, general plan
motion, relative velocity and acceleration, equations of
translation – rotational.
COURSE AIM
COURSE OBJECTIVES
The course objectives are to study the geometry of
motion (Kinematics) as well as the relationship
between the motion of a body and the forces and the
moments acting on it (Kinetics).
Kinematics of a particle as: Rectilinear & Curvilinear Motion –
Projectile Motion.
Kinetics as: Force & Acceleration - Work & Energy of a particle
Rotation of a Rigid Body about a fixed Axis - General Plan Motion
- Relative Motion (Velocity & Acceleration) - Planar Kinetics of
Rigid Body – Equation of Translation Motion - Equation of
Rotational Motion - Equation of General Plane Motion - Work
and Energy.

INTRODUCTION
Mechanics is a branch of the physical sciences that is
concerned with the state of rest or motion of bodies
subjected to the action of forces.
Engineering mechanics is divided into two areas of
study, namely, statics and dynamics. Statics is
concerned with the equilibrium of a body that is
either at rest or moves with constant velocity.
The subject of dynamics will be presented in two
parts: kinematics, which treats only the geometric
aspects of the motion, and kinetics, which is the
analysis of the forces causing the motion.

MAIN CONCEPTS
• Dynamics is concerned with bodies that have accelerated
motion.
• Kinematics: study of the motion (displacement, velocity,
acceleration, & time) without reference to the cause of
motion (i.e. regardless of forces).
• Kinetics: study of the forces acting on a body, and the
resulting motion caused by the given forces.
• Rectilinear motion: position, velocity, and acceleration of a
particle as it moves along a straight line.
• Curvilinear motion: position, velocity, and acceleration of a
particle as it moves along a curved line.

MAIN CONCEPTS
• Space is the geometric region occupied by bodies.
Position in space is determined relative to some
geometric reference system by means of linear and
angular measurements.
• A particle is a body has a mass but with negligible
dimensions.
When the dimensions of a body are irrelevant to the
description of its motion or the action of forces on it, the
body may be treated as a particle.
• A rigid body is a body whose changes in shape are
negligible compared with the overall dimensions of the
body or with the changes in position of the body as a
whole.
