1.
Outline
In this course, the following topics are taught;
(1) Resultant force; Component of force; Moment of force; Equilibrium of force;
  Equilibrium of moment; Reaction force; Center of gravity;
(2) Velocity; Acceleration; Moment of inertia; Rotation; Translation;
  Equation of motion for rigid body
(3) Work; Kinetic energy; Potential energy; Power; Horse power

2.
Objectives
This course aims to teach the statics and dynamics of a rigid body. Throughout the lectures, the fundamentals of engineering mechanics are explained.

3.
Grading Policy
Your overall grade in the class will be decided based on followings:
-  Term-end examination (60%)
-  Mini tests within each lesson(40%)
In addition, attending all classes without being late or leaving early is a precondition for getting credits.
I will return the previous mini test and discuss in class. Feedback will be given and test on the entire subject in the 15th lesson.

Textbook and Reference
Textbook: "Detailed Industrial Mechanics [2nd Edition]" by Toshihiro Irie, Ohmsha (2016) 
     ISBN 978-4-274-21955-9
