Course Description

To introduce students to the basic laws of dynamics and explain their application in analyzing the action and influence of forces on the motion of bodies. To develop simple and logical thinking in students when analyzing and solving practical engineering problems related to the dynamics of ship mechanical elements and structures. To clarify the basics of fluid statics for students and teach them about pressure forces on the walls of stationary fluids. To introduce students to the application of the basic laws of fluid dynamics, enabling them to more easily solve tasks related to fluid motion, which are essential in marine engineering practice.
