Aims

To provide a basic understanding of the principles of Classical Mechanics and their application to simple dynamical systems. Learning Outcomes: After completing the module students should be able to analyse real world problems involving: - the motions of bodies under simple force systems - conservation laws for momentum and energy - rigid body dynamics using centre of mass, angular momentum and moments of inertia

28.

Learning Outcomes

(LO1) the motions of bodies under simple force systems

(LO2) conservation laws for momentum and energy

(LO3) rigid body dynamics using centre of mass, angular momentum and moments

(LO4) oscillation, vibration, resonance

(S1) Representing physical problems in a mathematical way

(S2) Problem Solving Skills

29.

Teaching and Learning Strategies

Material is presented during lectures (3 hours per week). Tutorials (1 hour per week) are used for consolidation and practice, and for help with individual questions.

30.
