| Complete discussion begun in Reference #1. |
| |
| Introduce the four fundamental quantities used in mechanics: length, time, mass and |
| force. Define a consistent system of units where three of the fundamental units are |
| defined by the analyst and the fourth is calculated using Newton's second law. |
| Introduce US customary and SI units. |
| |
| Introduce the units table that must accompany all problems worked in this class. |

Discuss density  , unit weight  , volumetric flow rate  and mass flow rate  . |
| |
| Introduce the concept of Conservation of Mass (COM) referring to Chapter 3 of Glover |
| (pp. 35-39) and Reference #2. Introduce finite time and rate COM tables as shown in |
| Reference #2. |
| |
| Example problems are presented in Worked Problem Set #2. |
| |
| Skills/Objectives: |
| |
| Use of consistent sets of units and the use of COM tables. |
| Assessment: |
| |
| Homework Set #2: Work odd or even problems 1-1 through 1-24 R/S (due on Day 3). |
| Resources: |
| |
| Reference #1, Chapter 3 of Glover (pp. 35-59), Reference #2, Worked Problem Set #2. |
| Notes: |
| |
| From this point forward, all problems in this class must be worked using consistent units |
| with a units table presented for each problem. |
| Advanced Organizers: |
| |
| Read pp. 35-59 in Glover, review Reference #2. Locate special mass flow problems in |
| Homework Set #3 and review them (due on Day 4). |
