Course Description:	Introduction to rigid body mechanics. Equivalent force systems: Concepts of moment, couple, resultant. Equilibrium: Free-body diagram; equations of equilibrium. Structural analysis: Trusses; beams. Shear force and bending moment diagrams by method of sections and by method of integration. Properties of surfaces: Area moment and centroid; moments and product of inertia; principal directions.
Course Objectives:	1) Understand the difference between vectors and scalars and perform vector operations. 2) Use vector operations to perform equilibrium analysis on two and three dimensional force systems. 3) Understand the concept of moments. 4) Analyze force and couple systems. 5) Analyze structures using the method of joints and the method of sections. 6) Understand centroids and moments of inertia

COURSE LEARNING OUTCOMES

1	Define Newton's laws of motion.
2	Recall trigonometric laws and apply to the addition and decomposition of vectors quantities.
3	Identify the moment of a force and calculate its value about a specified axis. Define the moment of a couple.
4	Describe the concept of dry friction and analyse the equilibrium of rigid bodies subjected to this force.
5	Construct "Free Body Diagrams" of real world problems and apply Newton's Laws of motion and vector operations to evaluate equilibrium of particles and bodies.
6	Apply the principles of equilibrium of particles and bodies to analyse the forces in planar truss members.
7	Discuss the concepts of ``centre of gravity'' and ``centroids'' and compute their location for bodies of arbitrary shape.
8	Apply the concepts used for determining centre of gravity and centroids to find the resultant of a generally distributed loading.
9	Use methods learnt for equilibrium of bodies and the resultant of a generally distributed loading to compute the internal forces in beams. Generalise the procedure to construct bending moments and shear force diagrams (internal forces) and utilise this information in engineering design.
