ENGR 102 - Statics


Number of Credits: 3
Statics studies the equilibrium of stationary bodies under the influence of various kinds of forces. Topics studied include: forces, moments, couples, equilibrium, frames and machines, centroids, moment of inertia, and friction. Vector and scalar methods are used to solve problems. (Fall Term Only) Three hours lecture. Three Credits. Three billable hours.

Pre-requisite(s): PHYS 111  and MATH 135 , with minimum grades of C or better.
Course Objectives: Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:
  1. Express vectors in terms of their rectangular coordinates. (PG-1) (GE-3)
  2. Compute the resultant of forces acting on an object. (PG-1) (GE-3)
  3. Sketch the free-body diagram of a particle in equilibrium and solve for unknown forces acting on it. (PG-1, 2) (GE-2, 3)
  4. Determine the moment of a force and use the principle of Moments to determine the net result of a number of forces acting on a single point. (PG-1) (GE-3)
  5. Calculate the magnitude and direction of a moment of a couple. (PG-1, 2) (GE-3)
  6. Replace a system of forces and couples with a single force and a couple. (PG-1, 2) (GE-2, 3)
  7. Compute the magnitude of the resultant of a distributed loading. (PG-1, 2) (GE-3)
  8. Sketch the free-body diagram of a rigid body in equilibrium and solve for unknown forces acting on it. (PG-1, 2) (GE-2, 3)
  9. Determine the forces in members of simple trusses, frames and machines. (PG-1, 2) (GE-3)
  10. Locate the centroid of areas and volume. (PG-1) (GE-3)
  11. Compute surface areas of revolution and volumes of revolution. (PG-1) (GE-3)
  12. Compute moments of inertia for areas. (PG-1, 2) (GE-3)
