Subject Definition
The following information is drawn from the official definition of the subject which has been approved by the Faculty Board of Engineering. It will typically remain the same from semester to semester, except where variations are approved by the Faculty Board.
Subject Aims
The main objective of the subject is to help the students developing the ability to analyse any mechanics problem in a simple and logical manner and to apply a few, well understood, basic principles to its solution. At the end of this subject, students should have gained an understanding of kinematics and kinetics of rigid bodies, and free vibration of single degree of freedom mechanical systems. The three immediate learning objectives of this subject are: Understanding basic mechanics concepts such as rigid body, force, motion, work, energy, power, impulse and momentum, and the relationships between them; Gaining skills in
