Mechanics 3. [Thornton].
This course constitutes a complete survey of Analytical Mechanics.
The Fall Term is given to Analytical Statics, the Winter Term
to the Dynamics of a Particle, the Spring Term to the Dynamics of a
Rigid Body. For illustrative material use is made not only of such
classical topics as harmonic motion, projectile motion, planetary
motion, meteoric motion, and motion in resisting media; but examples
are taken also from engineering practice in the Kinematics of Machines,
the Dynamics of the Steam Engine, the Balancing of Single
and Coupled Engines, and others of the great problems of scientific
engineering.
