The application of Newton's Laws to engineering problems in statics. The free-body diagram method is emphasized. Topics include vector algebra, force, moment of force, couples, static equilibrium of ...

Perhaps few physical concepts have received less attention relative to their importance than friction. Learning the 'effective' notions of static and ... exist even between bodies that make ...

Application of mechanics to the study of static equilibrium of rigid and elastic bodies. Topics includes composition and resolution of forces; moments and couples; equivalent force systems; free-body ...
