Course Outcomes: Upon completion of this course, students should be able to: CO1 demonstrate an understanding of basic concepts and fundamental principles in dynamics of particles and rigid bodies through problem solving. [PO1, LO1, SS1]{C3}. CO2 perform an analysis and evaluation to obtain the solutions of problems in kinematics and kinetics of particles and rigid bodies. [PO2, LO3, SS1]{C4}. CO3 Work effectively within a small group to plan, execute, and communicate results from group discussions. [PO10, LO4, SS2] {A2}. Course Description: The course covers both kinematics and kinetics of particles and rigid bodies in planar and spatial motion. Both scalar and/or vector approaches are properly emphasized for solutions of 2D and 3D problems. Mass moments and products of inertia are also covered. Syllabus Content: 1.0 Introduction and Review (2 hours) 1.1 Introduction to Vector Dynamics. 1.2 Vector Algebra and Vector Calculus. 2.0 Kinematics of Particles (6 hours) 2.1 Rectilinear Motion and Dependent Motion. 2.2 Plane Curvilinear Motion and Systems of Reference Coordinates. 2.3 Relative Motion Using Translating Axes. 3.0 Kinetics of Particles (6 hours) 3.1 Force and Acceleration. 3.2 Principle of Work and Energy. 3.3 Principle of Impulse and Momentum 4.0 Kinematics of a Rigid Body (12 hours) 4.1 Omega Theorem. 4.2 Reference coordinate systems 4.3 Time Derivative of a Vector with respect to Moving Reference System 4.4 Kinematics of Rigid Bodies in Plane Motion. 4.5 Kinematics of Rigid Bodies in Spatial Motion. 5.0 Mass Moment of Inertia (4 hours)

5.1 Moment of Inertia 5.2 Product of Inertia Kinetics of a Rigid Body (12 hours) 6.1 Angular Momentum of Rigid Bodies 6.2 Kinetic Energy of Rigid Bodies 6.3 Equations of Motion of Rigid Bodies

Teaching Methodology: Lectures are given to cover the basic principles of each topic. Reading materials and relevant examples will be provided. Individual and group homework on related topics will be assigned on a regular basis while quizzes may also be given upon completion of several selected topics. Students are expected to have a self-study about 3 hours per week. Assessment: Course Work Test 1 Test 2 Assignments and/or Quizzes Final Examination Total
