EMRC St. Xavier’s College, Kolkata is part of a large family of EMRCs spread across India. This family has in fact 18 members, including the head office at New Delhi. The other members are at Srinagar, Roorkee, Patiala, Jodhpur, New Delhi, Ahmedabad, Indore, Sagar, Imphal, Pune, Mysore, Chennai, Madurai, Calicut and two at Hyderabad.

All the centres come under the purview of the university of that particular place. In Hyderabad one is with the Central Institute for English and Foreign Languages (CIEFL) and the other is with Osmania University. It is only the Kolkata EMRC that comes under the purview of St. Xavier’s college.

All funding – both for running expenses and equipment – comes from the University Grants Commission. The coordination of production, telecast and other programme related affairs is done by the Consortium for Educational Communication (CEC), New Delhi. The administration is done by the host university/college.



Classical Mechanics – 1: Galileo's Principle Of Relativity –A

Duration : 18:26     Year : 1987     Code No.6

CLASSICAL MECHANICS is a thirteen-part series dealing with some concepts of classical physics. This episode deals with such topics as the essentials of the Ptolemic and Copernican systems, Aristotle's Physics and Cosmology and their demolition by Galileo, Galileo's discoveries, his law of falling bodies as well as the method of modern science pioneered by him.

Classical Mechanics - 2 Galileo's Principle Of Relativity – B

Duration : 17:22     Year : 1987     Code No.7+

Part - B deals with Galileo's experiments with pendulums, inclined planes, rough- smooth surfaces, his law of inertial motion in a circle and demonstration of the equivalence of rest and uniform motion as well as the relativity of trajectories and the objective character of physical laws.

Classical Mechanics – 3: Newton's First Law

Duration : 20:19     Year : 1987     Code No.211

The third episode discusses 1) Inertia of rest and motion: 2) Spherical and Euclidean Geometry: 3) Inertial motion in straight lines and 4) difference with Galileo's law of inertia.

Classical Mechanics – 4: Newton's Second Law

Duration : 19:36     Year : 1987     Code No.215

This episode begins with various examples of impressed force in real life and goes on to introduce the second law (impressed force - rate of change of momentum).

Classical Mechanics - 5: Pseudo Forces

Duration : 18:48     Year : 1987     Code No.216

The fifth episode of the series presents familiar examples of the effect of acceleration, deceleration and rotation. Accelerated frames of reference generate 'Pseudo Forces'. These are not associated with proximity of bodies and they do not fall off with distance.
