ENGR 1080 - Statics Credits: 3 Hours/Week: Lecture None Lab None Course Description: This course examines rigid body mechanics where bodies are in equilibrium. Topics include force and moment vectors, principles of statics, and equilibrium analysis. In addition, the course covers static analysis of simple trusses, frames, and machines. Also distributed loads, centroids, moments of inertia, and principles of friction will be presented. Design of simple structures in equilibrium is integrated throughout the course. MnTC Goals None
Prerequisite(s): PHYS 1081 and MATH 1081 with grades of C or higher Corequisite(s): None Recommendation: Concurrently enrolled in MATH 1082 .
