Catalog description

The theory and application of engineering vector mechanics to the design and analysis of rigid structures. Application of the principle of equilibrium to particles, rigid bodies, and simple structures are included. Friction, distributed forces, center of gravity, centroids, and moment of inertia are introduced. U.S. engineering and metric systems of units and applications are used. Prerequisite: PHYS 112 Physics I. Co-requisite: MATH 261 Calculus II.
