Course Profile
Learning Outcomes of the Course:
Upon successful completion of this course the student will be able to:
- Understand the nature of rigid bodies, and the fact that they represent an idealization of real bodies.
- Understand the nature of forces and moments, and will be capable of recognizing forces and moments acting on bodies.
- Apply the principles of static equilibrium to the analysis of structures and machines.
- Experimentally verify the laws of friction, and be capable of applying them to a variety of cases.
- Locate centroids and centers of gravity, and compute moments of inertia.
