ENGR 2705 - Statics

3 Credits

Statics is the first area of study in the science of mechanics. Statics deals with the study of rigid bodies at rest and the forces acting on them. Statics is the foundational course for many fields in engineering including civil, mechanical, biomedical, and structural. In this course, students will use Newtons three laws of motion to solve equilibrium of particles and rigid bodies on both 2D and 3D; determine centroids and moments of inertia; solve for internal and external forces in trusses, beams, and frames; and develop sheer and moment diagrams. 3C/3/0/0
