ENGR 221 - Dynamics


Number of Credits: 3
Dynamics introduces students to systems of heavy particles and rigid bodies at rest and in motion in a plane and in three dimensional space. Force-acceleration, work-energy, and impulse-momentum relationships will be studied and applied. (Spring Term Only) Three hours lecture. Three Credits. Three billable hours.

Pre-requisite(s): PHYS 111 , ENGR 102  and MATH 136  with minimum grades of C or better.
Course Objectives: Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:
  1. Analyze various motions of a particle or projectile by computing its displacement, velocity and acceleration. (PG-1)(GE-3)
  2. Determine the relative velocity and acceleration of two particles in motion. (PG-1, 2) (GE-3)
  3. Explain Newton’s laws of motion. (PG-1, 2) (GE-3)
  4. Apply the Work/Energy principle to the solution of problems involving particles in motion. (PG-1, 2) (GE-3)
  5. Apply the Impulse-Momentum principle to solutions of problems involving particles in motion. (PG-1, 2) (GE-3)
  6. Describe the stages of impact when two bodies collide. (PG-1, 2)(GE-3)
  7. Analyze the motion of a rigid body. (PG-1, 2) (GE-3)
  8. Determine the relative motion of two rigid bodies in translation. (PG-1, 2) (GE-3)
  9. Locate the instantaneous center of zero velocity for a rotating body and use it to analyze the rotational motion of the body. (PG-1, 2) (GE-3)
  10. Compute the moment of inertia and rotational acceleration of a body in rotation about a fixed axis. (PG-1, 2) (GE-3)
  11. Calculate the acceleration of a body which is both in translation and rotation. (PG-1, 2) (GE-3)
  12. Apply the principles of Conservation of Energy and Conservation of Momentum to the solution of problems involving rigid bodies in general motion. (PG-1, 2) (GE-3)
