Mechanics and Oscillations (PHY-51T-101)

Mechanics and Oscillations (PHY-51T-101) is an English medium physics textbook for B.Sc. I Semester students, written as per the CBCS pattern. Written by Dr. Neelam Gupta, Dr. Usha Parnami and Dr. Minal Bafna, the book covers the paper in nine chapters. The mechanics part deals with physical laws and frames of reference, relative rotational motion and the Coriolis force, conservative forces and conservation of energy, centre of mass with conservation of linear and angular momentum, dynamics of rigid bodies, and motion under central forces. The oscillations part covers simple and damped harmonic oscillations, driven harmonic oscillations and coupled oscillations. The 2024 edition runs to 392 pages. A semester text for B.Sc. first semester physics students preparing the Mechanics and Oscillations paper in English.
