IAI Number Major: EGR942
3 Credit Hour(s)
3 Lecture Hour(s)
0 Lab Hours(s)
Prerequisite(s): MAT 131 with a grade of “C” or higher, PHY 155 (or HS Physics I) with a grade of “C” or higher and concurrent enrollment in PHY 205 , University Physics I or PHY 205 , University Physics I, with a grade of “C” or higher.

This course introduces principles of static equilibrium to solve statically determinate systems. It is a rigorous course in statics for engineering, mathematics, physics, and other majors requiring a calculus-based mechanics course. Topics include force and moment vectors, equivalent systems of forces and distributed loadings, equilibrium of particles and rigid bodies, centroid, center of gravity, moment of inertia, and virtual work. Structural analysis of simple trusses, space trusses, frames, and machines are considered.
