COURSE SYLLABUS
1. Course Code: MEC30
2. Course Title: STATICS OF RIGID BODIES
3. Pre-requisite: PHY11/11L
4. Co-requisite: NONE
5. Credit/Class schedule: 3 Meetings per week @ 1.5 hours per meeting; 4.5 hrs per week
6. Course Description:
The course covers the branch of engineering mechanics known as statics which deals with the forces acting on non-moving bodies. The course is in preparation for a higher level of analysis of assemblies and structures. It covers concurrent and non-concurrent forces, operation with the free body concept, equilibrium of coplanar and non-coplanar force system, analysis of trusses, friction force in space, centroids and moments of inertia.
