-
Understand the laws of equilibrium of forces.
-
Study concurrent, parallel, and non-concurrent force systems.
-
Analyze moments, couples, and torque.
-
Investigate reactions in beams, frames, and trusses.
-
Apply vector representation, force polygon, and equilibrium polygon methods.
-
Perform experiments to verify theoretical principles of statics.
Performance Measurement
-
Demonstration of force equilibrium conditions.
-
Measurement of reactions and applied loads.
-
Observation of force diagrams and vector polygons.
-
Analysis of moments and torque.
-
Verification of static stability under varying conditions.
