Engineering Mechanics
Engineering Mechanics. Instructor: Professor Manoj K Harbola, Department of Physics, IIT Kanpur. In this course, we would be studying mechanical interaction between different bodies when they interact through the forces applied on each other. Topics covered in this course include Review of Newton's laws of motion and vector algebra; Equilibrium of bodies; Plane trusses; Friction; Properties of plane surfaces; Method of virtual work; Motion of particles; Momentum; Work and energy; Rotational kinematics and dynamics; Simple harmonic oscillator; and Motion in non-inertial frames.

Lecture 27 - Dry Friction: Dry Thrust Bearing and Belt Friction with Demonstration |
In this lecture we consider two special cases of friction which are used in engineering application. Dry thrust bearing is used in applying brakes on rolling wheels of vehicles and best friction is used to drive pulleys. We calculate the amount of frictional forces generated in these.
