A sample from this course

One topic, as StudyPath teaches it.

Fundamental concepts of statics; scalars and vectors

This topic introduces the basic language of statics: what forces are, how bodies are idealised, and how physical quantities are classified as scalars or vectors. It matters for the exam because every later method in statics—resolving forces, drawing free-body diagrams, and testing equilibrium—depends on correct use of vector ideas and the fundamental assumptions of statics.
