CVEN 3131 - Applied Mechanics

A limited study of particle and rigid body mechanics. Subject coverage introduces vector concepts of force, moment and equilibrium, then concentrates on kinematics and kinetics of particles in motion, including oscillatory and orbital and finally discusses rigid body motion with emphasis on energy and momentum methods. Prereq: MATH 2421 and PHYS 2311. (Not for Civil Engineer or Mechanical Engineer majors.) Max hours: 3 Credits. Semester Hours: 3 to 3
