Physics 221 - Mechanics

Institution:

Wofford College

Subject:

Description:

Classical Newtonian analytical mechanics. Newton's laws are used together with vector analysis to analyze problems in statics and dynamics, with emphasis upon the latter. Problem-solving situations include rectilinear particle dynamics (especially oscillators), general particle dynamics, non-inertial reference frames, central forces, systems of particles, and mechanics of rigid bodies. Prerequisites: Physics 121, 122 or 141, 142 or 173; and Mathematics 182. (3/0/3) STAFF
