Important announcement

Dear visitor,

Please note that this OpenCourseWare platform will be replaced at the end of 2026 by a new platform (under the same url ocw.tudelft.nl).

Courses and their contents that are currently available the platform will partly be migrated. URL’s for this content will change and content might be unavailable for some time. In addition, some courses will not be available anymore.

If you are linking to specific courses on this platform (for instance for your students), please take timely measures to avoid problems with access. Possible actions are:

  • Download the materials to your local platform (laptop, server)
  • For educators only (including TU Delft lecturers): Contact us at ocw@tudelft.nl and inform us what course you are using in what context (institute, program, period of use, number of students). We will research (in collaboration with the authors of the course) and decide if we will migrate the course, and if yes, can supply you with a new url.

Thank you.

Dynamics and Stability – Exercises Module 1: Newton’s Laws and Fictitious Forces

Course week(s) 1. Newton’s Laws and Fictitious Forces

Corresponding to each module, as described in the lectures section, the teachers handed out one or more sample problems. These are worked out examples that illustrate how to work with a certain method.

Next to the given sample problems, several recommended exercises are given. These exercises can be found in the textbook of this course (Analytical Mechanics, by Josef S. Tőrők). More on this textbook can be found in the readings section.

Sample problems:

Recommended exercises:

Solve the exercises in the provided order:

  • 1.147 (Choose the x-axis coinciding with the longitudinal axis of the airplane, the z-axis pointing upward and the propeller blade coinciding with the y-axis for t=0. Be careful with the units!)
  • 1.190
  • 4.40
  • 1.112
  • 1.158
  • 1.169 (Colatitude is the complementary angle to the latitude)
  • 4.14(b)
  • 4.41
  • 1.207
