When emailing the lecture-note to imechanica [at] gmail.com (imechanica[at]gmail[dot]com) with the subject title as Lecture 1, please also put your information in the text message: Name, University ID, and Aerospace/Mechanical Engineering. Thanks.

1. Cross product of two vectors

2. Equilibrium of many-particle system

What is the purpose of the course?

Ensure students have a clear working understanding of the principles of engineering mechanics and an ability to apply them to simple engineering systems.

Brief description of the unit

• Scalar and vector quantities.

• Forces and Newton's laws of motions.

• Kinematics of a particle; co-ordinate systems.

Introduction (27/9, Thursday, 11-12am)

Survey (28/9, Friday, 3-4pm) 

Grading System

Please note that according to the New Grading System, no marks can be gained from answering the following questions. (1 October 2007)
