MET 2201 - Applied Mechanics I

(3 CR, 3T + 0L)

The focus of this course is on learning the fundamentals of mechanics of bodies that are in static equilibrium. Students will learn conceptual skills that will build the foundation for performing force analysis of particles and rigid bodies in both two and three dimensions. Students will learn to draw the free-bodydiagram and perform force and moment analysis. Students will apply concept of force and moment and couple to solve practical problems. Students will learn to analyze distributed force systems and forces in members of trusses and frames. They will apply concept of centroids, center of mass and center of gravity to solve mechanics problems. Finally, the students will learn concepts and applications on friction.

Prerequisite(s): ENGR 2215.
