Having successfully completed this course, the student will be able to:

Use vectors and vector operations to analyze systems of forces and moments in two and three-dimensions.

Draw free body diagrams of particles and rigid bodies in a plane and in space.

Apply the equations of equilibrium to analyze the equilibrium of a particle and a rigid body.

Analyze forces acting on the members of trusses, frames and machines in static equilibrium.

Analyze internal forces of a beam using shear force and bending moment diagrams.

Identify dry friction and analyze the equilibrium of rigid bodies subjected to friction force.

Apply first and second moment equations to calculate the center of gravity, center of mass, centroid, mass and area moments of inertia of single and composite bodies.
