This course builds upon fundamental concepts in physics and focuses on the application of appropriate mechanical principles to solve real-world situations. Topics explored are equilibrium of forces, moments of a force, kinematics of motion in a straight line, dynamics, connected particles, energy conservation, projectile motion and general motion of a particle.
Additionally, this course also delves into miscellaneous questions, equilibrium of rigid bodies, center of gravity, toppling, sliding, elasticity, as well as advanced questions involving differential equations and math modeling.
Throughout the course, students will participate in practical exercises, simulations, and real-world applications to reinforce their understanding and develop critical thinking skills.
Pre-requisites for this course are Mechanics I (PH 175)
