About the course
Aim
The course gives an orientation to the students about basic relations in classical mechanics. After the course the student should be able to
- treat basic mechanical
- formulate, simplify and solve simple mechanical problems from different approaches, and verify its correctness through e.g. dimensional analysis
Content
Lectures and seminars treat:
- Kinematics (linear and plane movement)
- Relative motion (uniform relative translation and rotation, inertial forces)
- Dynamics of particles (Newton's laws, frictional forces, angular momentum, central forces)
- Work and energy (work, power, kinetic and potential energy, conservative and non-conservative forces)
- The dynamics of particle systems (motion of the center of mass, reduced mass, momentum and kinetic energy for systems of particles, laws of conservation, systems of variable mass)
- Dynamics of the rigid body(angular momentum and moment of inertia, the equation for rotation of a rigid body<\li>
- Newton's law of gravitation, orientation about and Kepler's laws
- Fluid mechanics (Pascal's and Archimedes' principles, the continuity equation, Bernoulli's principle)
- Oscillatory motion(simple harmonic motion, damped and forced oscillations, coupled oscillators, the mathematical and physical pendulums)
