• Mechanics

1.Kinematics-velocity and acceleration in different coordinates systems and different types of motions. Orbital momentum
2. Dynamics-Newton laws- conservatives forces- dissipative forces- Torque of a force - Energy-conservation laws
3. Gravitation.
4 Two-Bodies problem.
5 .Change of reference frame-velocity and acceleration non inertial terms. Non inertial references.Application to Earth mechanics.
 

• Fluid Mechanics

1. Fluid hydrostatic -fundamental law - pressure measurement and level
2. Fluid dynamics Mechanical energy of a fluid- Law conservation - Bernoulli theorem.
3. Reynolds number, flow regime, pressure drops.
4. Fluid transport : measure of flow and speed of fluid (Pitot tube, diaphragm, Venturi tube), pumps

Develop a proper understanding of the laws of mechanics and fluid mechanics.
