Summary

This course gives you a glimpse into a world where forces affect everything around us - from safety checks against tipping over various objects to anchor design. In this course, you will learn about how forces act on bodies that are at rest. You will learn the basic methods to solve the couplings and internal forces of bodies and their systems. You will work with concepts such as balance of forces, equivalence of force systems and see how they can be applied to real structures. You will also learn about passive resistances and how to identify their influence in practice.
