Textbooks and Required Resources: Textbook selection varies by instructor and may change from year to year. At the Course Outline Effective Date, the following textbooks were in use: Hibbeler, R.C. Engineering Mechanics: Static and Dynamics. 14th Ed. Prentice-Hall Publishing Company, 2015. Please see the instructor s syllabus or check COTR s online text calculator http://www.cotr.bc.ca/bookstore/cotr_web.asp?idnumber=164 for a complete list of the currently required textbooks LEARNING OUTCOMES: University Studies at the College of the Rockies allow students to complete their first two years of study towards a university degree. College students gain academic knowledge and skills in their chosen subjects. They also cover general problem-solving and critical thinking skills. The combination can empower them to participate as educated citizens in the economic, political, and cultural life of their communities. Upon the successful completion of this course, students should be able to apply Newton's Laws in a variety of situations; manipulate vectors in two- and three dimensions: addition, subtraction, and scalar multiplication of vectors; calculate the dot and cross products of vectors; calculate the angle between vectors; break a vector into components; use Free Body Diagrams to analyze force systems in two- and three dimensions; calculate the moment of a force about a line; find a force and moment which is equivalent to a system of forces and moments; draw a Free Body Diagram for a rigid body and solve problems using the equations of equilibrium; understand the characteristics of dry friction; solve problems involving frictional forces in wedges; use calculus to analyze the kinematics of a moving particle exhibiting both continuous and erratic motion; the relationship between position, velocity, and acceleration; describe curvilinear motion in rectangular and in cylindrical coordinates; understand and apply the normal and tangential components; analyze relative motion using a translating axis; use Newton's Second Law to derive the equation of motion for a system of particles; perform calculations using the equations of motion in both rectangular and cylindrical coordinates; calculate the work done by a force; apply the principle of work and energy to solve a variety of problems; calculate the power and efficiency of a machine; understand when a force is conservative and be able to find the potential function for some conservative forces; use the principle of conservation of energy to solve a variety of problems; use the principle of impulse and momentum to solve problems which involve force, velocity and time; analyze the mechanics of impact; and use the concepts of angular impulse and momentum.
