Course Description
A basic engineering science course of solid mechanics dealing with bodies that are or remain at rest. It is designed to provide fundamental concepts
about forces, moments and couples and their systems. The concept of resultants and equilibrium of forces and moments is utilized to enable solution of
statically determinate problems
Prerequisite/s : Physics for Engineers, Calculus 2
Course Outcome:
At the end of the course, the students must be able to:
1. Understand the concepts of forces and moments of forces;
2. Apply the principles of static equilibrium from the knowledge of resultants of forces and moments.
3. Learn to analyze and solve structures by applying the concept of equilibrium.
4. Solve problems about frictions.
5. Learn the concept and determine the center of gravity of shapes and solids.
6. Relate the course to other engineering situations that involve the concepts of forces and moments of forces.
