Lecture

System of Forces I

Description

This lecture covers the concept of system of forces in 2D and 3D, including equilibrium, distributed forces, constraints, determinacy, and equilibrium in rigid structures. It also introduces the basics of truss and beam structures, as well as the analysis of forces and moments using geometric and algebraic methods.
