Basic Mechanics (Statics) - Complete Guide

About this course

This course presents the topics of Basic Mechanics - Statics such as forces, moments, equilibrium, internal forces, etc. After going through the explained concepts, you will be able to realize the simple essence behind every equation and calculation. Understanding the simplicity of the concepts will make problem solving a lot more easier. The course also provides full downloadable material including the slides, examples, and problem solving provided step by step. The content is provided in 6 core chapters starting by the simplest identification of forces and force vectors, and then going into moments, equilibrium equations, supports and reactions, internal forces, shear and bending moment diagrams, centroids and center of gravity, truss analysis, and moments of inertia. Every core chapter is divided into multiple sections presenting first theory supported by explained examples, and then separate problem solving. Sections are kept shore to ensure every concept is well understood individually before progressing into the next idea. The course is designed to present the entire material in the most efficient manner, allowing the students to overcome any hardships that may be faced in the subject. You will need to have basics of Math such as equations, trigonometry, and similar concepts to fully understand this course.
