Objetivos
The student should be able to understand and apply the fundamental laws of newtonian mechanics; apply a specific methodology for problem solving; perform experiments and analyse the results obtained and identify deviations from expected results critically.
Resultados de aprendizagem e competências
1.The student should have a basic knowledge about mechanics, its concepts, fundamental principles and its importance in engineering sciences. Knowledge of units: International and imperial systems of units. Knowledge about the methods of resolution of problems in mechanics. The student should be aware of the sensitivity of the solution to the numerical precision used in the calculations. 2.Knowledge of how the forces act on a given particle and how to calculate the resultant force on that same particle. Knowledge of how to represent the free-body diagram and obtain the equilibrium equations of the particle through the use of Newton’s first and third laws of motion. The student should be able to resolve a force in space given its intensity and two points of its line of action. Equilibrium of forces in space. 3.The student should understand the effect of a force on a rigid body and the reason why that same force acting on that same rigid body can be considered a sliding vector. The student should know how to calculate the moment of a force about a point and about a given axis using vector product, scalar product and mixed triple product. The student should understand the concept of a force couple and know how to reduce a system of forces to one force and one couple. 4.The student should be able to draw the free-body diagram of a rigid body. Knowledge of the various types of supports and the reactions they produce. The student should be able to establish the equilibrium equations of a rigid body and identify over constrained and under constrained situations. 5.The student should know the laws of dry friction and how to determine the friction coefficients through the friction angles. Knowledge of how to obtain the solution of problems involving dry friction. 6.The student should be able to find the geometrical centre of plane figures and lines, and the centre of mass of plates and wires, through integration or by decomposition. 7.The student should be able to establish the equations of displacement, velocity and acceleration of a particle over time in uniform rectilinear motion and in uniformly accelerated rectilinear motion. Understanding of the dependent motion of various particles and of their relative velocity and acceleration. Knowledge of the equations of curvilinear motion of particles. Tangential and normal components of the velocity and acceleration vectors. 8.Write the dynamic equilibrium equations of a particle using Newton’s second law of motion.

Distributed assessment or final examination.
Fórmula de cálculo da classificação final
Final Classification (NF) is givem by:
NF=0,80 *T+0,20*RL (Distributed assessment)
NF=1*EF
where:
T is the is classification average of the tests
RL is classification average of the laboratory reports
The student is aproved is distributed assessment whem T≥8,5 e NF≥9,5
