Mechanics

Abstract

<p>This module is a first degree course in Mechanics. The module starts with a treatment of vectors and vectors calculus and attempts to explain all the topics in mechanics from this basis. </p><p>It is hoped that the students enrolling for this course will acquaint themselves with the basic notions of force and the resultant motion of its application. </p><p>Four areas of mechanics: Statics, Dynamics, Kinetics and Kinematics of particles and rigid bodies have been treated in this module.</p> <p>The student is strongly advised to consult Physics sources on Mechanics in conjunction with this module for practical examples which are mathematically modelled in the module. </p> <p> <b>In addition to downloading the files below, you can also view them directly:</b> </p> <ul> <li><a href="http://www.scribd.com/doc/44852574/Mechanics" target="_blank">The full module (Scribd)</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jOUcRRnVCuo" target="_blank">Intro to module (YouTube)</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5R87-roCbBw" target="_blank">Overview of module (YouTube)</a></li> </ul>
