STATICS

Course Description:
The subject of Statics deals with forces acting on rigid bodies at rest covering coplanar and non-coplanar forces, concurrent and non-concurrent forces, friction forces, centroid and moments of inertia.

Course Outline:
• General principles • Force Vectors • Equilibrium of a Particle • Force System Resultants • Equilibrium of a Rigid Body • Structural Analysis and Internal Forces (Trusses , Beams, Frames , Cables ….et ) • Frication • Distributed forces: Moment of Inertia • Centre of Gravity and Centroid • Virtual Work
