AIM:
To develop capacity to predict the effect of force and motion in the course of carrying out the design
functions of engineering
Objectives:
To give students practice in applying their knowledge of mathematics, science, and Engineering
and to expand this knowledge into the vast area of rigid body Mechanics.
To enhance students ability to design the static condition of object under different loading
condition.
To make the students to aware about the Gravitational force of static objects.
To give knowledge to the students about the dynamic condition of the object.
To make aware about the friction in dynamic object and the loss of energy due to friction.
