Free Online Course: Rigid Body Dynamics provided by Coursera is a comprehensive online course, which lasts for 15 weeks long, 14 hours worth of material. The course is taught in English and is free of charge. Upon completion of the course, you can receive an e-certificate from Coursera. Rigid Body Dynamics is taught by Sukyung Park.

Overview
  • This course teaches dynamics, one of the basic mechanics subjects of Mechanical Engineering. Students would be able to organize their knowledge about force and motion, work-energy, impulse-momentum in view of Newton's 2nd law and its integration over time and displacement. The Engineering Dynamics consists of two parts: particle dynamics and rigid body dynamics. This is the second part of the dynamics: rigid body dynamics
    The class will consist of lecture videos, which are about 15 min length (or a bit longer). These contain a couple of practice problem solving. There will also be standalone homeworks that are not part of video lectures, and a final exam.
