Engineering Mechanics
Course
Objectives:
●
To introduce the fundamental concepts and principles of statics related to
forces acting on particles and rigid bodies.
●
To develop the ability to formulate and apply equilibrium equations for
particles and rigid bodies in two and three dimensions.
●
To enable students to analyse force systems through vector resolution and calculation
of moments and couples.
