Course Objectives:
         To introduce the concept of static equilibrium as applied to simple structural problems and provide an
understanding of distributed forces, center of gravity, and centroids. To introduce the concept of dynamic motion
as applied to simple moving objects, including effects of friction, centrifugal forces, and analysis of motion from
an energy balance perspective and momentum perspective.
