MET2200 Statics
The term "static" means "at rest." This very important, fundamental MET course investigates how bodies at rest interact with one another, and how applied forces are distributed throughout structural members, machine components, and various other objects that are in a state of static equilibrium. Students will utilize mathematical tools and problem solving ability to analyze forces systems applied to trusses and frames, and determine the magnitude, direction and sense of forces seen in individual structural members. The concepts learned in this course will provide an important foundation for success in future MET courses.
