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 of rigid bodies: Kinematics, mass moments of inertia, fixed axis rotation, general plane motion, work and energy, linear and angular momentum.

TEACHING
The education consists of lessons and compulsory laboratory experiments.
