    1. Engineering Mechanics Statics ECS221 A. J. Levy

    2. Course Structure M,W lecture + F clinic or exam Graded homework (13%) Four class exams (54%) Final exam (33%) Course evaluation The lowest of the four class exams will be dropped.The lowest of the four class exams will be dropped.

    3. Introduction Primitive concepts Space (coordinate system, length; scalar) Time (definition of event; scalar) Mass (resistance to motion, attraction to the earth; scalar) Force (direct contact, action at-a-distance; vector)

    4. Idealizations in Mechanics The mass point or particle (position and mass) The rigid body (position, size and mass) The deformable body (position, size, mass and deformability) Statics and Dynamics (ECS221, ECS222) deal with the rigid body and the mass point. Dynamics deals with motion, Statics deals with equilibrium.Statics and Dynamics (ECS221, ECS222) deal with the rigid body and the mass point. Dynamics deals with motion, Statics deals with equilibrium.

    5. Fundamental Principles Parallelogram law for addition of forces (and vectors)
