Physical quantities and their units (International system of units SI). Vector analysis in physics (scalar and vector quantities, vector calculus). Kinematics of particle. Motion in gravitational field of Earth. Dynamics of system of particles and mass body. Mutual force interaction among bodies. Linear momentum, rotational inertia of rigid body. Equation of motion of rigid body (translation, rotation). Mechanical work and power. Machine efficiency. Hydrostatics and aerostatics. Properties of ideal fluids and ideal gases. Basic types of flow of fluids (laminar, turbulent). Hydrodynamics and aerodynamics (the equation of continuity of ideal fluid, Bernoulli equation).

The course program is designed to introduce to a student the concepts of classical physics and broaden physical knowledge of mechanics of rigid body. The subject follows up the junior high school subject and student would acquire comprehensive knowledge about kinematics and dynamics of mass particle, system of mass particles and the rigid body. The introduction into fluid dynamics completes the course. Student's ability to understand the matter in mutual relationship as well as independently implementing the knowledge on simple physical problems would be a priority.
Graduate student would became familiar with fundamentals of kinematics and dynamics of solid body and solve adequate physical problems of classical physics and common praxis. She/he should acquire a capability of solving problems independently in fields of aerodynamics and hydrodynamics involving the relative balance of fluids and their state quantities. |
