General Physics (Phys243)

PHYS243 – General Physics | Midterm 1 Bootcamp For Computer Science students at Beirut Arab University (BAU) Midterm 1 is coming, and this bootcamp gets you ready for it. The sessions are live, so we go through the material together, solve exercises step by step, and work through past exams so you know exactly what to expect on exam day. You don’t need a strong physics background. We start from the basics and build up to exam-level problems. How the bootcamp works Material explanation: Every topic on the Midterm 1 syllabus is explained clearly, focusing on the ideas and formulas you actually need. Exercise solving: We solve the chapter exercises together, step by step, so you learn the method and don’t just memorize answers. Past exams solved step by step: We go through previous BAU PHYS243 midterms so you recognize the question types and learn how to manage your time. Live and interactive: Ask your questions directly during the sessions and get them answered on the spot. What we cover Units, Dimensions & Errors Fundamental quantities (mass, length, time) and the SI and cgs systems of units Dimensions of derived quantities: velocity, acceleration, force, energy, pressure, density Checking whether an equation is dimensionally correct Finding relations between physical quantities using dimensional analysis (for example, the period of a pendulum) Unit conversions (newton ↔ dyne, joule ↔ erg) Measurement errors: absolute, relative, and percentage error Fluid Mechanics: Fluid Statics States of matter, fluids, and forces in fluids Pressure, and how it varies with depth (P = P₀ + ρgh) Pascal’s law and its applications (hydraulic press, brakes, car lifts) Pressure measurement: barometer, manometer, absolute vs. gauge pressure Buoyant force and Archimedes’s principle Totally submerged and floating objects By the end of the bootcamp, you will be able to: Check equations and derive physical relations using dimensional analysis Calculate measurement errors correctly Solve pressure, Pascal’s law, and buoyancy problems with confidence Handle Midterm 1 questions methodically and on time Who it’s for BAU Computer Science students taking PHYS243 who want to prepare for Midterm 1 in a focused, exam-oriented way. 📲 How to subscribe Send us a message on WhatsApp at 71 465 503 to reserve your spot and get the session schedule.
