Welcome to another episode of Study Engineering (Applied Maths) — your AI-powered guide through engineering dynamics!
In this episode, we tackle Planar Kinetics of a Rigid Body: Force and Acceleration, using material from Week 6 lectures and Chapter 17 of Engineering Mechanics: Dynamics by R.C. Hibbeler (14th Edition).
We break down:
Newton’s Second Law applied to rigid bodies
Equations of motion in planar systems
Translational and rotational dynamics
How to handle forces, moments, and mass moments of inertia in 2D motion
This episode is perfect for understanding how forces influence the motion of rigid bodies in a plane — with step-by-step walkthroughs and examples to reinforce your learning.
