Overview

This course integrates mathematical and physics concepts to provide students with introductory mechanics knowledge to prepare them for the course CIV1501 Engineering Statics. Topics included are: length, time, mass, Newton's laws, pressure, stress, moment, torque, work, friction, two dimensional position and force vectors, particle equilibrium, resultant forces, rigid body equilibrium, centroids and second moment of areas.

Course learning outcomes

The course objectives define the student learning outcomes for a course. On completion of this course students will be able to:

  1. understand basic quantities and idealisations of mechanics and SI system of units;
  2. understand Newton's laws of motion;
  3. define pressure, stress, moment, torque, work;
  4. understand the concept of friction and analyse the equilibrium under frictional forces;
  5. express force and position in vector form and determine magnitude and direction of two dimensional vectors;
  6. analyse & solve rigid body equilibrium problems;
  7. determine the centroid of an area and the second moments of area of simple shapes.
