This course has been instructed by our famous Dr Wayne Whiteman who has tried to be as illustrative as possible so that everything that he knows about bodies in motion is delivered to the learners properly. The course aims to provide a perfect guideline regarding the dynamics of particle motion and bodies in rigid planar motion. There will be a number of things that will be taught throughout the course like what is work-energy principle for particles, what is planar 2D rigid body kinematics 1, kinematics 2 and kinematics 3. The course contains a detailed introduction of Newton’s law, Euler’s law, particle kinematics and much more. The course contains a number of real world examples so that it can become easy for learners to understand these concepts a little easily. We can say that throughout the course, the instructor has been totally professional and the way that he has tried to explain things is really admirable. Many of the engineering fundamentals will also be applied in this course that will help learners to understand the concepts even more easily. Hence we can say that this is a very interesting course that will help learners to understand the study of bodies in motion as applied to engineering systems and structures.
