Paper Description
The concepts of equilibrium of rigid bodies, structures such as trusses, and mechanisms and the use of equilibrium equations to calculate forces due to applied loads are covered in statics. Free body diagrams, a fundamental tool for Engineers, are used extensively in the paper. The kinematic relationship (relationship between displacement, velocity and acceleration and the relationship between forces and acceleration (Newton's laws of motion)) and energy methods are covered in dynamics.
Paper Structure
Learning Outcomes
Students who successfully complete the paper should be able to:
Assessment
The syllabus for the final test may include all material that is covered during this course.
Assignments form an important part of the paper, they allow you to practice important concepts and therefore help you cement your knowledge and prepare for the test.
Assessment Components
The internal assessment/exam ratio (as stated in the University Calendar) is 100:0. There is no final exam.
