Lecture Notes and Exercises on Statics

Nine chapters of course notes where the theory is kept short and the solving is done in front of you, in handwriting, on the same page. Covers statics of particles, rigid bodies, equilibrium, distributed forces and centroids, trusses and frames, internal forces, friction and moments of inertia.

A five step problem solving strategy for static equilibrium, followed by the planar problems it was built for. Each example names the object, sets up the free body diagram, picks the rotation axis and writes the equilibrium conditions in full.
