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.

In this episode, we dive into Planar Kinematics of a Rigid Body, based on Week 5 class material and Chapter 16 of Engineering Mechanics: Dynamics by R.C. Hibbeler (14th Edition).

We cover:

• The fundamentals of translation, rotation, and general plane motion

• Relative velocity and acceleration analysis

• The concept of the instantaneous center of zero velocity (IC)

• How to apply these principles in real-world mechanical systems

Perfect for students revising for exams or trying to solidify their understanding of motion in two dimensions — no fluff, just focused learning.

In this episode, we dive into the fascinating world of Operational Amplifiers (Op-Amps) — the unsung heroes of analog electronics. From understanding the basic configurations like inverting and non-inverting amplifiers, to exploring real-world circuit applications, we break down how op-amps work, why they matter, and how they’re used in everything from signal conditioning to control systems.

Perfect for students, hobbyists, or anyone brushing up on electronics, this episode lays the foundation you need to tackle more advanced circuit designs with confidence.

📌 Topics Covered:

• What is an Op-Amp?

• Key characteristics and ideal assumptions

• Inverting vs. Non-Inverting configurations

• Common applications and practical tips

• Real-life circuit examples

Grab your notebook (or multimeter!) and let’s get amplifying.

In this episode, we unpack the dynamic duo of linear and angular impulse and momentum — key concepts that explain how forces affect motion over time. Perfect for understanding collisions, sudden stops, and those tricky exam problems!
