Mechanical Engineering Dynamics

This course discusses topics in the motion of particles, Newton's second law, the kinetics of particles, rigid body motion, and the kinematics of rigid bodies: rectilinear coordinates, curvilinear motion, normal coordinates, polar coordinates, constrained motion, relative motion, particle linear kinetics, work energy, linear momentum, curvilinear kinetics, angular momentum, rigid body kinematics, absolute motion, relative velocity, instantaneous center, relative acceleration, rigid body rotation, rigid body translation, general rigid body motion, rigid body impulse-momentum, central force motion, and work/energy method for rigid bodies.
