2. Class Schedule:
Monday: 14:00-15:45 (Lectures)
Wednesday: 09:00-10:45 (Practical Session)
Office Hour: Open Door Policy

3. Course Objectives
The subject of Statics deals with forces acting on rigid bodies at rest covering coplanar and non-coplanar forces, concurrent and non-concurrent forces, friction forces and hydrostatic forces.
By the end of this course, the student will be able to:
1. find the center of mass for different areas and lines,
2.determine the resultant force for a spatial and planar force systems,
3.calcuate and determine the reactions for different statically determined systems,
4.calculate the determine the internal force diagrams,
5.solve statically determined complicated systems (by determining the reactions and drawing the diagrams of internal forces).
