ENGR 135 — Engineering Mechanics: Statics 3 Units (AA/AS; CSU; UC) 54 lecture hours
A vectorial treatment of the principles of statics with application to engineering problems. Composition and resolution of co-plannar force systems; equilibrium of rigid bodies; distributed forces in trusses; frames and cables; shear and bending moments in beams; moments of inertia of areas and bodies and graphical methods are used to model force systems and equilibrium conditions as applied to engineering statics problems.
