Transfers ToCSUDescriptionThis course is an introduction to the application of the concept of mechanical equilibrium to engineering problems. This course covers force systems in the context of supports, two force members and multi-force members, cables, truss structures, frames, and machines; geometrical properties, such as centroids and moments of inertia; friction, the method of virtual work, and sketching shear and bending moment diagrams. Problem-solving methods include analytical, graphical, and computer techniques. An optional materials fee may be applied. Offered in the Fall semester.Usually HeldMon 4:55pm–5:50pm, Mon Wed 3:20pm–4:45pm
