ME 2002 - Mechanics II4 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 particles
- 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
