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