Mechanics, 7.5 credits

The course is a basic course in mechanics that forms the basis of many other physics and engineering. The course is divided into two separate parts, Statics and Dynamics, and it covers following areas:

• Physical quantities, units, and dimensions
• Free body diagrams
• Equilibrium of particles and rigid bodies
• Friction
• Kinematic relations for particles and rigid bodies
• Kinematic of particles in different coordinate systems, Newtons laws of motion
• Energy, work, power, and mechanical efficiency
• Finite element analysis of mechanical systems
• Problem solving of mechanical systems
