MER 212 - Dynamics

Course Units: 1

(Winter, Spring; Staff) A basic engineering mechanics course concerned with the kinematics and kinetics of non-deformable particles and two dimensional bodies undergoing acceleratory motion. D’Alembert free body diagrams, Newtonian mechanics, energy approaches, vectors and the calculus are used to solve problems throughout the course. Topics include kinematics, force and acceleration, work and energy principles and impulse and momentum principles. Includes a design component. Prerequisite(s): MER 201 & (MTH 115 or IMP 121) CC: SET
