ENGR 235 - Engineering Mechanics: Statics

Prerequisite: PHY 211
Transfers to: UC, CSU

This course is for students who intend to pursue a major in engineering, and provides an overview of the effect of two- and three-dimensional force systems on particles and rigid bodies under equilibrium conditions. Topics covered include distributed forces and determination of centroids, analysis of trusses, frames and machines, internal forces and moments, systems involving friction, and methods of virtual work and equilibrium.
