ERG 221 — Statics
This course covers a vector approach in studying static systems. Areas of study include the resultant of concentrated and distributed force systems, two and three-dimensional equilibrium, trusses, plane friction, centeroids, and moments of inertia. Students learn how to use integral equations to determine centeroids and moments of inertia for various geometrical shapes and derive and graph equations of shear and moment.
