ENES 130 Dynamics

This course will enable the student to acquire knowledge dealing with systems of heavy particles and rigid bodies in motion. In order to study such systems, it is necessary to learn force, acceleration, work, energy and impulse-momentum relationships. In addition, material will be discussed which covers motion of one body relative to another in a plane and in space.
