This course presents the fundamental principles of structural analysis, determination of reactions, internal forces and deflections under the static load conditions. The course is mainly focused to ...

Two forces, 3 newtons (N) and 2 N, act to the right. Calculate the resultant force. When two forces that act in opposite directions it is often easiest to subtract the magnitude of the smaller force ...

Free body diagrams do not need to be drawn to scale but it can sometimes be useful if they are. It is important to label each arrow to show the magnitude of the force it represents. The type of force ...
