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 48 - Motion with Constraints - Solved Examples (cont.)

In this lecture we solve for the motion of a particle when it is subjected to a velocity dependent drag. We solve for the trajectory of a particle in the vertical plane when it experiences drag force proportional to its velocity. Another example we solve is for the vertical motion of particle when the drag force is proportional to the square of its speed.
