EGR 260 - Engineering Statics

• Fundamental principles used in the study of mechanics.
• Magnitude and direction of forces and moments and associated scalar and vector products.
• Free body diagrams for two- and three-dimensional force systems.
• Equations of static equilibrium.
• Moments of force about a specified point or line.
• Forces and couples acting on a variety of objects.
• Unknown forces and couples acting on objects in equilibrium.
• Centroid and center-of-mass for a system of discrete particles and for objects of arbitrary shape.
• Structures with a distributed load.
• Moment of inertia for lines, areas, and volumes.
• Equilibrium of rigid bodies subjected to a system of forces and moments that include friction.
• Dry sliding friction, i.e. wedges and belts.

1. Create free-body diagrams to analyze the statics of rigid bodies. 
2. Formulate solutions using the fundamental equations of static equilibrium.
3. Construct an equivalent simplified system from a system of forces and moments.
4. Use Excel to solve static equilibrium problems (i.e. goal seek, solver, and matrix math).
