PHY 221. Mechanics. 3 Hours.
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.
Prerequisite: (MATH 210 with a minimum grade of C or MATH 212 with a minimum grade of C) and PHY 141 with a minimum grade of C.
