Prerequisites
Aims and objectives
In this unit, students will develop the ability to analyse and solve problems involving particles and rigid bodies in plane motion and be prepared to study higher level of machine dynamics (i.e. Machine Dynamics-2). Students will also gain the ability to handle basic vibration problems.
