    This document outlines the modules covered in a course on Introduction to Mechanics. The six modules cover topics including: (1) transformation of vectors under rotation, Newton's laws of motion, and solving equations of motion; (2) potential energy functions, conservative and non-conservative forces, and central forces; (3) non-inertial frames of reference and applications of Coriolis acceleration; (4) harmonic oscillation, damped oscillation, and forced oscillations; (5) kinematics and angular momentum of rigid bodies in planar motion; (6) introduction to three-dimensional rigid body motion distinguishing it from two-dimensional motion. Suggested reference books on various mechanics topics are also listed.

    PHYSICS (CE & ME) [PH-21102]

    Introduction to Mechanics [L : 4; T:0; P : 2 (5 credits)]

    Module 1: (8 lectures)
    Transformation of scalars and vectors under Rotation transformation; Forces in Nature;
    Newton’s laws and its completeness in describing particle motion; Form invariance of
    Newton’s Second Law; Solving Newton’s equations of motion in polar coordinates;
    Problems including constraints and friction; Extension to cylindrical and spherical
    coordinates

    Module 2: (7 lectures)
    Potential energy function; F = - Grad V, equipotential surfaces and meaning of gradient;
    Conservative and non-conservative forces, curl of a force field; Central forces;
    Conservation of Angular Momentum; Energy equation and energy diagrams; Elliptical,
    parabolic and hyperbolic orbits; Kepler problem; Application: Satellite manoeuvres;

    Module 3: (5 lectures)
    Non-inertial frames of reference; Rotating coordinate system: Five-term acceleration
    formula.
    Centripetal and Coriolis accelerations; Applications: Weather systems, Foucault
    pendulum;

    Module 4: (6 lectures)
    Harmonic oscillator; Damped harmonic motion – over-damped, critically damped and
    lightly-damped oscillators; Forced oscillations and resonance.

    Module 5: (5 lectures)
    Definition and motion of a rigid body in the plane; Rotation in the plane; Kinematics in a
    coordinate system rotating and translating in the plane; Angular momentum about a
    point of a rigid body in planar motion; Euler’s laws of motion, their independence from
    Newton’s laws, and their necessity in describing rigid body motion; Examples.

    Module 6: (7 lectures)
    Introduction to three-dimensional rigid body motion — only need to highlight the
    distinction from two-dimensional motion in terms of (a) Angular velocity vector, and its
    rate of change and (b) Moment of inertia tensor; Three-dimensional motion of a rigid
    body wherein all points move in a coplanar manner: e.g. Rod executing conical motion
    with centre of mass fixed — only need to show that this motion looks two-dimensional
    but is three-dimensional, and two dimensional formulation fails.
