EGR 220 - Statics

Institution:

Reading Area Community College

Subject:

Engineering

Description:

This course deals with forces acting on two and three-dimensional systems of particles and rigid bodies in static equilibrium (at rest), emphasizing engineering applications. Students will apply concepts of classical mechanics learned in physics and the mathematical principles from calculus to understand the physical principles required for static equilibrium. Topics include forces, equilibrium, moments, centroids, the center of gravity, moments of inertia for areas, and structural analysis of trusses, frames, and beams.
