EGR 212 Dynamics

Lecture Hours: 3
Lab Hours: 2
Credits: 4

Studies kinematics, Newton’s laws of motion, work-energy relations, and impulse-momentum relationships, applied to engineering systems.

Prerequisite: Placement into WR 115 (or higher), or completion of WR 090 (or higher); and completion of EGR 211, MTH 252, and PH 211; or consent of instructor. (All prerequisite courses must be completed with a grade of C or better.)
Student Learning Outcomes:

Calculate velocity and acceleration where position or speed and radius of curvature are given.
Calculate velocities of points on a rigid body, in relationship to its angular velocity for two-dimensional motion.
Draw correct free-body diagrams, and correct equations expressing Newton’s second law of motion for a particle.
Calculate speed and distance of a particle by direct integration when the force is a given function of time.
Evaluate velocities and accelerations of points in simple mechanisms, involving gears, sliders, and cams.
Calculate speed and distance by separation of variable in one-dimensional problems.
Solve the work-kinetic energy relationship for a particle, particularly for the case of conservative forces.
Solve moments of force and momentum for rigid body problems in which the direction of angular velocity is fixed.
Solve force systems, and draw free-body diagrams.
Generate and apply dynamic two- and three-dimensional equations of motion for rigid bodies.
Use differential and integral calculus, statics, and physics, to solve dynamic problems.
