    The document provides reminders on key concepts in engineering mechanics, trusses, and dry friction. It discusses that the centroid is the weighted average position of a plane figure and is the same as the center of mass for objects with uniform density. It outlines the sign conventions used for trusses, where positive is tension and clockwise moments are positive. The steps to evaluate friction force and the angle of friction are summarized.

    SIGN CONVENTIONS USED :

    Positive sign is used for tension.


    Negative sign is used for compression.
    Clockwise moment ( )is taken positive and anticlockwise moment ( ) is taken as negative.
