Course Purpose and Content
| Course Objectives: | Study of Statics, a branch of engineering mechanics that analyzes the forces on physical systems (points, objects, and systems of groups of objects). Performing force analysis of rigid objects and support systems in equilibrium and applying these analyses to related problems encountered in daily life and engineering. In addition to Statics, laying the foundation for Dynamics and Solid Mechanics. |
| Course Content: | Analysis of forces acting on particles and rigid bodies in static equilibrium; equivalent systems of forces; friction; centroids and moments of inertia; introduction to energy methods. The subject of Statics deals with forces acting on rigid bodies at rest covering coplanar and noncoplanar forces, concurrent and non-concurrent forces, friction forces, centroid and moments of inertia. Much time will be spent finding resultant forces for a variety of force systems, as well as analyzing forces acting on bodies to find the reacting forces supporting those bodies. Students will develop critical thinking skills necessary to formulate appropriate approaches to problem solutions. |
