    Introduction to mechanical engineering through the study of the equilibrium of particles and rigid bodies using trigonometry and vector analysis. The ability to compose complete free body diagrams is strongly emphasized. Vector methods are employed to investigate forces and moments in planar and three-dimensional problems. Pin jointed frames are analyzed using the method of joints and the method of sections. Problems involving friction and systems of cables and pulleys are solved. Properties of area including centroid first moment and second moment complete the course. Co-requisite: MATH 181. Course Objectives Upon successful completion of the course, students will be able to: (1) Decompose a force into components in the direction of principal axes and decompose a moment into components about principal axes. (2) Resolve systems of forces and moments into resultant forces and moments using trigometric and vectoral methods. (3) Compose clear and complete free body diagrams. (4) Represent moments as vectors and use the known magnitude and direction about a given axis to find the magnitude and direction about a different axis through a common origin. (Drive shaft torque problems). (5) Use zero summation of forces and moments to determine reactions at support points of beams and trusses. (6) Analyze a truss by the method of joints and the method of sections. (7) Analyze three-dimensional frames using vectors. (8) Use knowledge of centroid and second moment of area of elemental areas to these properties for a composition of these areas.

    The kinematics and kinetics associated with the simple or complex motion of particles and rigid bodies based upon the principles of the differential and integral calculus. Kinematics involves analysis and quantification of position, velocity and acceleration of the body. Kinetics involves applied force, momentum, potential and kinetic energy, impulse and moment of momentum. The course includes extensive coverage of ballistics, relative motion and central force field problems. Prerequisite: ME 101. Co-requisite: MATH 190. Course Objectives Upon successful completion of the course, students will be able to: (1) Analyze accelerated rectilinear motion. (2) Analyze accelerated motion along curved paths. (3) Equate summations of forces or torques obtained from a system free body diagram with those obtained from inertial considerations. (4) Solve problems involving the exchange of potential and kinetic energy. (5) Quantify work. (6) Apply the principles of impulse and momentum. (7) Solve problems involving direct and oblique central impact. (8) Use the concept of moment of momentum to solve central force field problems.
