Description
Engineering mechanics, especially statics is the backbone of all mechanical engineering disciplines. being comfortable with the concepts of statics is an essential component in your toolbox on your path to be a successful engineer.

In this course we will go from understanding very basic concepts of physics like time, length and mass step by step through studying motion and working with forces and force components into understanding equilibrium of particles and bodies

After finishing the course you will be able to isolate mechanical subsystems and represent them with their free body diagram including the external forces acting on it and the reactions of the supports.

the following concepts will be discussed in the course

Section one: The fundamentals

What is mechanics

The building blocks of mechanics: Time, length and mass

Motion: Position, velocity and acceleration

Section two: Newton Laws

Newtons first law: What is there is no force?

Newton's second law: What if there is a force?

Newton's third law: What happens to objects that apply force?

Equilibrium and working with forces

Force

Weight

Equilibrium of a particle

Breaking forces into their components, working with a force as a vector

The Moment of a force

Equilibrium of a body

Reactions and FBD

Reaction of smooth and rough surfaces

Friction

Reactions of supports

Smooth and rough surfaces

Roller supports,

Pinned connections

Fixed connections

Sliding supports

Free body diagram FBD

the course will be followed by three other courses as a part of a complete engineering mechanics module

we are looking forward to have you in this engaging and rewarding course!

Who this course is for:
High school students looking to understand statics and mechanics
