ENGN 1340

This course is a study of mechanics concerned with the state of motion of particles and rigid bodies that are subject to the action of forces and moments. The course considers the kinematics and kinetics of motion applied to particles and rigid bodies particularly as it relates to engineering applications and design. Topics include rectilinear and curvilinear motions, rectangular, normal-tangential, and cylindrical coordinate systems, rotation about a fixed axis, general plane motion, dependent and relative motion, Newton's Laws of Motion, and energy and momentum methods. Three hours lecture and three hours lab per week
