PHYS 1141

Students will study the statics of particles and rigid bodies. They will apply vector analysis to three-dimensional static-equilibrium problems and analyze the internal forces in rigid structures. They will use differential and integral calculus, in addition to Newton's laws, to study the kinematics and dynamics of particles. Students will focus on the analysis of practical mechanics problems in two and three dimensions. Note: This is an Engineering course. This course is equivalent with PHYS 1170. Students may earn credit for only one of these courses.
