Force systems and equilibrium
Resolve forces and couples, then enforce equilibrium in two and three dimensions.

Statics, where engineering analysis actually begins.
Force systems, equilibrium, trusses, frames and machines, friction, centroids, and moments of inertia, worked with the free-body discipline every later structural course depends on.

Study sequence
Statics topics in teaching order
Trusses, frames, and machines
Analyze structures with method of joints, method of sections, and member-by-member breakdown.
Friction, centroids, and inertia
Handle dry friction, locate centroids, and compute area moments of inertia.

Where Statics leads
Physics I
Statics builds directly on force analysis from mechanics.
