PREREQUISITES
Elementary vector calculations and integrals.

COURSE AIM
To impart basic knowledge of classical mechanics concerning equilibrium of bodies and motion of particles and rigid bodies in two dimensions. The student shall know how to apply the methods of the classical mechanics in the solution of problems.

CONTENTS
Statics: Equlibrium, center of mass, frames, friction, virtual work, stability. Dynamics of particles: Kinematics, work and energy, linear and angular momentum, impact, vibrations. Dynamics fo rigid bodies: Kinematics, mass moments of inertia, fixed axis rotation, general plane motion, work and energy, linear and angular momentum. Application of methods in a calculation task.

TEACHING
The education consists of lessons and compulsory laboratory experiments.

EXAMINATION
Laboratory experiments and written examination at the end of the course.
COURSE GRADE SCALE: 3, 4, 5
