Course Description : The course begins by reviewing fundamental concepts and principles of statics, vectors and vector algebra. This basic knowledge gained will help to enhance the understanding of force analysis on particles in equilibrium and the principle of moment. This will eventually reinforced the studies on structural analysis with different loading conditions. The study on the characteristics of dry friction and belt friction will complete the analysis of loading on an object. Towards the end, the concept of center of gravity, center of mass, centroid and moment of inertia, together with its application are discussed.
Course Objectives : 1) To learn the fundamental concepts and principles of statics to solve problems that involves force and moment acting on particles and rigid bodies in equilibrium. 2) To apply the law of friction to bodies in equilibrium. 3) To understand the concept of center of gravity, center of mass, centroid and moment of inertia of a body.
Transferrable Skills : Ability to apply the foundation and applications of statics in a variety of modern engineering applications.
