Course Description

In this course, exercises and lectures are given on the theme of rotational movement of a rigid body. Specifically, the following themes are taught.
Angular velocity, angular acceleration, kinetic energy of rotation, moment of inertia, torque and angular momentum, etc.
Related subjects: Materials, Vibration, Robotics, etc.
During lecture, students will acquire knowledge, technology, and ability of diploma policy 2 and 3.

Course Objectives

This course aims to conduct exercises in the fundamentals of the Mechanics of a rigid body, and practical problem solving skills.
