This course introduces the student to the study of forces acting on objects and their effects on a body at rest or at constant velocity. Static principles are applied in analyzing structural systems. Topics include vectors, resultants, equilibrium of force systems, free-body diagrams (FBD), analysis of trusses and frames, distributed loading, and geometric properties of areas. Emphasis is placed on bodies at rest in both 2 dimensions and 3 dimensions.
