Class Objectives
/Class Outline Mechanics is one of the mainstays of physics and engineering as well as electromagnetics, and hence an important subject for students in the department of science and engineering as a foundation to be acquired.

Our goal in General Mechanics is to systematically provide the principles and laws of mechanics for engineering students. Students coming out of this class should have a deep conceptual understanding of classical Newtonian mechanics. This course, General Mechanics II, provides instruction in dynamics of multiparticle system and rigid body on the basis of the dynamics of one-particle provided in General Mechanics I.

Class Schedule lesson1: Guidance. Derivation of the motion of a two-particle system.
lesson2: Collision.
lesson3: Motion under a central force.
lesson4: Motion under a central force (Continued)
lesson5: Statics of rigid bodies.
lesson6: Derivation of the equation of rotational motion of a rigid body about a fixed axis.
lesson7: Calculating moments of inertia.
lesson8: Examples of the rotational motion of a rigid body about a fixed axis.
lesson9: Examples of the rotational motion of a rigid body about a fixed axis (Continued)
lesson10: Derivation of the equations of plane motion of a rigid body.
lesson11: Examples of the plane motion of a rigid body.
lesson12: Examples of the plane motion of a rigid body (Continued)
lesson13: Relative motion
lesson14: Motion in a rotating frame of reference
lesson15: Foucault pendulum

lesson10: Understand the derivation of the equations of plane motion of a rigid body.
lesson11: Solve problems about the motion of a disk.
lesson12: Solve problems about the motion of movable pulleys.
lesson13: Understand the origin of an inertial force by the transformation from an inertial frame of reference to a non-inertial frame of reference. Solve problems about the motion in a non-inertial frame of reference.
lesson14: Understand the derivation of the equation of motion in a rotating frame of reference, characteristics of Coriolis and centrifugal forces. Consider the conservation property of angular momentum in a rotating frame of reference.
lesson15: Understand the solution method and characteristics of the motion of a Foucault pendulum.
