CVEN-2121 (3) Analytical Mechanics 1
Covers forces acting on rigid bodies at rest. Equilibrium is explored/applied to different situations. In each case, the object of interest is isolated along with all forces acting on it; a free body diagram. Equilibrium is applied to analyze trusses, frames, machines, cables, hydrostatic forces on dams. Credit not granted for this course and MCEN 2023 or GEEN 2851.
