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 67 - Kinetic Energy and Moment of Inertia for Fixed Axis Rotation |
In this lecture we derive the expression for the kinetic energy of a rigid body for fixed axis rotation and discuss the work energy theorem. We also solve for the moment of inertia of a rigid body and finally solve some examples.
