Statics

What Will Learn?

  • Course Aims
     Learn how to represent the forces in vector form and how to resolve and add these forces for studying its resultant.  Study the concept of the moment of a force and moment of a couple.  Recognize and analyze the free body diagram and the equilibrium of particles, rigid bodies and structures such as frames and trusses.  Study the concepts of friction and its effect on equilibrium.  Study the concepts of center of gravity, moment of inertia and virtual work.
  • Course Goals
