Learning outcomes

On completion of the course, the student will understand how forces act on particles and rigid bodies. The student will be able to calculate the forces and moments acting on statically determinate particles, rigid bodies and structures in equilibrium. The student will understand that loads create internal forces and couples. The student will be able to calculate the internal forces and moments and present force and moment diagrams.
