Course Objectives: Course objectives are to introduce fundamentals of forces, induced the motion of parts or mechanism / machine and to analyze the
transformation of motion as well as power from one to another component, adverse effect on the function of the mechanism or machine is to be considered.
This course helps in determining the counter balance methodologies involved.

Pre-requisites: Engineering mechanics, Kinematics of machines
