Course Description
This course involves the study of force systems acting on bodies in equilibrium. The course includes analysis of forces in trusses, frames, and machine components (2-D and 3-D). Additional topics include friction, location of centroids, and evaluation of area and mass moments of inertia. (prereq: MA 126 , MA 127 , PH 113 )
Course Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to:
• solve vector equations graphically and analytically
• draw free body diagrams of bodies subjected to multiple forces and moments
• solve for the unknown 2-D forces acting on a particle
• solve for the unknown 2-D forces and moments acting on a rigid body
• find the internal forces in trusses, frames, and machines
• solve 2-D equilibrium problems involving friction
• locate the centroid of an area
• calculate the area moment of inertia and the polar moment of inertia of an area
• calculate the mass moment of inertia of simple bodies
• solve simple 3-D particle and rigid-body equilibrium problems
