Topics covered include concurrent force systems in equillibrium found in trusses, frames, and machines; free-body diagrams; equillibrium of rigid and deformable bodies with non-concurrent point, distributed, torsional, and frictional loads; moments, couples, and equivalent force systems; centroids, center of mass, and second moment of areas; normal and shear stress, strain, and deformaton; shear force, bending moment, and deflection calculations and diagrams for beams. Graphical, analytical, and numerical techniques are used to solve problems with the help of a vector-capable engineering calculator. Corequisite(s): PHY-107 or PHY-155.
