Learning objectives:
1. To understand the effect of forces (static and dynamic) on the behavior of a body/system.
2. To understand the function, working, motions and force distribution in elements like Gears,
Governors, Gyroscopes etc.
3. To develop an ability to analyze the motions in various types of gear trains.
4. To determine the unbalance in a system and subsequently balance it.
5. To understand fundamentals of vibrations and analyze the behavior of systems undergoing
different kind of vibrations.
