CVEN-2121 (3) Analytical Mechanics 1

Covers forces acting on rigid bodies at rest. Equilibrium is the central concept that will be applied repeatedly to different situations. In each case, the object of interest will be isolated along with all the forces acting on it; a free body diagram. Equilibrium will be applied to analyze trusses, frames, machines, cables and hydrostatic forces on dams. Same as GEEN 2851. Credit not granted for this course and MCEN 2023. Prerequisites: Requires a prereq course of PHYS 1110 (min grade C-). Requires a prereq or coreq course of APPM 2350 or MATH 2400 (min grade C-).
