Transfers ToCSUDescriptionThis course covers equilibrium of rigid bodies, structures, beams, flexible cables, and fluids under concentrated and distributed forces. The application of the method of sections and free-body diagrams to solve truss problems, as well as shear diagrams and bending diagrams and their application to forces in beams, are covered. Wedges, screws, bearings, brakes, and other problems involving friction are examined. Virtual work and potential energy methods in the determination of equilibrium conditions in machines and structures are discussed.Usually HeldTue Thu 9:35am–11:00am
