SG1102 Mechanics, Smaller Course 6.0 credits

Statics: Quantities, units, dimensions, dimension analysis, vector algebra and vector geometry, force, momentum, force system, force pair, reduction result, equilibrium, uncovering, necessary equilibrium conditions.

Particle dynamics: Particle kinematics, in Cartesian coordinates, cylinder coordinates, natural components. Inertial systems, forces and Newton's laws. Work, power, energy, conservative forces, kinetic and potential energy. Movement torque, moment equation; The impulse laws, impact, the impact pulse law.

Linear oscillations in one dimension: free undamped and damped oscillation.

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 written 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,
• mathematically treat the problem 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.

Active participation in SF1626 Single variable analysis or SF1673 Analysis in one variable.

If the course is discontinued, students may request to be examined during the following two academic years.

• INL1 - Hand in Task, 1.5 credits, grading scale: P, F
• TENB - Examination, 1.5 credits, grading scale: A, B, C, D, E, FX, F
• TENC - Examination, 3.0 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.

Assignments (INL1; 1.5 credits)

Written examination (TEN; 3 credits), the theoretical part of the exam (1.5 credits) can be passed on partial tests.
