Statics

This course presents the analysis of appliled and reactive forces on rigid bodies, and the effects those forces have on the equilibrium of the body. Methods are presented to determine the resultants and components of forces, and the moments induce by those forces. The analysis of forces on trusses is explored. The concepts of shear forces, bending moment, moment of inertia and bending stress and strain are introduced. Course fee of $10. (Prequisites: MAT133 and PHY102)
