The course in Classical Mechanics I is an introductory course to the Newtonian mechanics of the dynamics of a particle and systems of particles. The course covers Newton’s laws of motion and their application to stationary and moving bodies such as falling bodies, projectiles and oscillatory motion.
By the end of the course the student should be able to:- Explain concepts of the mechanics of a particle and systems of particles such as velocity, acceleration, relative velocity, line integral, gradient, divergence and curl of a vector, momentum, work, kinetic /potential energy, conservative forces, stability of equilibrium, centre of mass, virtual work- Solve problems on motion of a particle; in a uniform force field, as a projectile, in a resisting medium, constrained by friction or otherwise- Solve problems on simple, damped and forced oscillatory motion and the simple pendulum- Solve changing mass problems
