Content and learning outcomes
Course contents
Vector algebra and dimension views. Power and torque. Power systems; power pairs, connection, equimolar power systems. The centre of mass; particle system, rigid bodies, composite bodies. Equilibrium; equilibrium conditions, 2D and 3D, friction.
Intended learning outcomes
After completing the course the student should be able to
- read and understand mathematical text applied in the field of mechanics, and communicate reasoning and calculations in this field orally and in writing in such a way that they are easy to follow
- identify a concrete mechanical problem, and choose suitable mechanical models based on a problem description
- translate the mechanical model into a mathematical model
- treat the problem mathematically and critically analyze the significance of the result
in order to use a physical mindset and communicate this within the framework of engineering science contexts.

Grading scale
Examination
- INL1 - Assignments, 1.0 credits, grading scale: P, F
- TEN2 - Examination, 2.0 credits, grading scale: A, B, C, D, E, FX, F
Based on recommendation from KTH’s coordinator for disabilities, the examiner will decide how to adapt an examination for students with documented disability.
The examiner may apply another examination format when re-examining individual students.
The examiner, in consultation with the KTH coordinator for disability (Funka), decides on any adapted examination for students with documented, permanent disability. The examiner may allow another examination form when re-examining individual students.
Other requirements for final grade
- INL – Assignments, 1,0 credit, grade scale: P/F
- TEN – Written exam, 2,0 credits, grade scale: A-F
