It purely emphasizes on bodies that are in Static Equilibrium (i.e. either they are at rest or moves with uniform velocity). The course of Statics is of particular significance because of the extensive use of its principle/techniques in the other core courses of mechanical engineering. The successful completion of this course would help students in achieving the following objectives:

  1. To help in understanding the nature of different types of loads (Force, Torque / moment) acting on a body (particle/ rigid body) in equilibrium.
  2. To be able to analyze the impact of loads (Force, Torque / moment) on a physical system that is in equilibrium
  3. To learn the basic methods of quantifying and analyzing the various forces that may exist between the bodies present in a mechanical/ structural system.
  4. To develop skills to use the basic principles in engineering applications.

[/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text=”COURSE LEARNING OUTCOMES (CLO)” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_column_text]CLO-1: Apply the concepts of vectors and scalars, conditions of equilibrium for particles and rigid bodies in two and three dimensions.
