Syllabus

At Wolkite University, Engineering Mechanics II (Dynamics) adds onto Engineering Mechanics I (Statics), offering the second semester of the second year of mechanical engineering students with the ability to analyze, anticipate, and design systems of motion. It covers the advanced kinematics and kinetics of particles and rigid bodies, Newton's second law, work-energy methods, impulse-momentum, and impact analysis of moving systems. Solving engineering problems involves formulating mathematical models of the systems, considering actual practices, properly defining the coordinate systems to be used, and applying the relevant equations of motion. Learning involves lectures, tutorials, and the analysis of engineering case studies. The course underlines issues related to the functioning of machines, vehicles, and industrial systems, which equips students with the necessary basics for more advanced subjects to be covered later, such as machine design and mechanisms of machinery. With respect to the course objectives, students will be able to apply the equations of motion with proper coordinate systems, give the forces acting on the moving objects, and interpret the physical effect on the body. Participants will be evaluated using assignments, quizzes, a midterm, and a final exam.
