ME 2001 - Mechanics I4 lecture hours 0 lab hours 4 credits
Course Description
This is a study of force systems acting on bodies and particles that are not in motion. The course includes equivalent force/couple systems, determination of reactions, shear force and bending moment diagrams, analysis of distributed forces in structural and machine components; additional topics include analysis of forces and/or moments in trusses, frames, beams, and machine components. (prereq: High School Physics, MA 136 , ME 190 )
