2. Learn to use coordinate systems to describe the forces and moments of an object.
3. To establish the equilibrium diagrams of forces and moments of an object, and to find the state of forces and moments of an object.
4. Understand the concept of center of gravity and center of mass and determine the moment of inertia of an object.
5. Learn to use virtual work method to analyze the forces on a system.
6. Develop students' abilities to think logically and analyze mechanical systems.
7. Develop students' abilities and independent thinking to analyze mechanical systems.
