Principles of Statics: Introduction to vector approach – free body diagrams – forces in plane – forces in space – concurrent forces – resolution of forces – equilibrium of particle.
Statics of rigid bodies in two dimension: Moment of a force about a point – moment of a couple – equivalent force – couple system. Rigid body equilibrium: Beams – support reactions.
Friction – block friction, ladder friction. Analysis of trusses – Method of joints, method of sections.
Centroid of lines, areas – composite areas. Second Moment of area – polar moment of inertia – mass moment of inertia – radius of gyration.
Dynamics of particles: Kinematics of particles – rectilinear motion – relative motion – position, velocity and acceleration calculations in cylindrical coordinates.
Dynamics of rigid bodies: General plane motion – translation and rotation of rigid bodies – Chasle’s theorem.
