ENGR 214 Statics

Apply vector math and free body diagrams to solve problems in engineering statics using Newton's Laws. Use vectors to describe the action of forces and moments acting on particles and rigid bodies, which are fixed in space or undergoing uniform motion. Prerequisites: ENGR 110, PHYS 121, NESC 110.

Outcomes

1. Draw complete free body diagrams (FBDs) and write appropriate equilibrium equations for FBDs, including support reactions.
2. Apply the concepts of equilibrium to structures.
3. Calculate moments, centers of mass, and forces for particular structures.
4. Apply vector algebra principles to solving statics problems.
