This course introduces fundamental concepts and analytical techniques in engineering mechanics, focusing on:  

• Equilibrium of a rigid body – Equilibrium in 2D and Free Body Diagram (FBD). 
• Friction – Dry Friction: Explore static and kinetic friction, analyzing its effects on mechanical systems like wedges, screws, and belts. 
• Truss – Method of Joints: Analyze truss structures, applying equilibrium equations at joints to determine forces and identify tension or compression. 
• Truss – Method of Sections: Use the method of sections to efficiently calculate internal forces in specific members by analyzing critical sections. 
• Frame and Machine Analysis: Study forces and reactions in frames and machine s, distinguishing between stationary and moving systems. 
• Centroid: Determine centroids of shapes and composite bodies and apply them in structural design and bending stress analysis. 
• Moment of Inertia: Understand and calculate the moment of inertia for various shapes to assess resistance to bending and rotation. 
• This course provides essential problem-solving skills for real-world engineering applications.
