ME 2002 - Mechanics II

4 lecture hours 0 lab hours 4 credits

Course Description
This is the second course in the mechanics sequence. Topics included in this course are: friction, flat belts, location of centroids, and evaluation of area and mass moments of inertia as well as kinematics and kinetics, impulse and momentum of particles (rectilinear and curvilinear motion). (prereq: MA 137, ME 1601, ME 2001)

Course Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to:

Determine the position, velocity, and acceleration of particles subjected to rectilinear translation
Determine the trajectory of projectiles given initial conditions
Determine the position, velocity and acceleration of given points of a properly constrained kinematic linkage
Determine the acceleration or force causing acceleration using Newton’s Second Law of Motion
Determine the motion of kinetic systems using the principle of work and energy
Determine the motion of particles using the principle of impulse and momentum
