This lecture covers the formulation of kinematic laws of motion and the coupling between forces and motion in mechanical systems. It explains how to derive the laws managing the dynamics of systems using Lagrange formulation and energy balance. The instructor demonstrates the process of determining the degree of mobility, choosing generalized coordinates, expressing kinetic and potential energies, and deriving equations of motion.
