MCAE 200 - Statics Credits: 3

Statics is the analysis of forces acting on physical systems that remain at rest. Students will extend their knowledge of classical mechanics and calculus to two and three dimensional systems of particles and rigid bodies. The goal of this course is to study mechanical systems that must hold their shape or position under some sort of load, such as frames, structures, beams, trusses, and cables.

Prerequisite(s): MATH 212 with minimum grade of C or PHYS 206 with minimum grade of C
