Learning Outcomes
On completion of the course, students should be able to

1. Model mechanical systems as plane assemblies of masses and inertias, and draw clear accurate linked free-body diagrams

2. Use D'Alembert's method to analyse motion in pure translation, fixed axis rotation and general plane motion

3. Identify kinematic relations between coupled elements using cables, gears and pure rolling

4. Calculate moments of inertias of a range of assemblies, using parallel axes and perpendicular axes theorems

5. Formulate energy expressions for systems and use concepts of work and power to determine motion.

6. Understand the properties of one degree of freedom oscillatory systems.
