Objectives: Students successfully completing this course will:

- recognize the way in which simple systems resist forces and moments

to which they are subjected;

- be able to simplify a complex force analysis problem down to

one that can be analyzed;

- be able to express the physical problem in a mathematical or graphical form;- be able to analyze the forces in each member;

- understand the significance of the solution to the problem of any

assumptions made.
