This 4-credit engineering mechanics course involves solving static equilibrium problems for structures. The sample problem involves finding unknown reaction and member forces for a rigid body system with multiple members connected at various angles, including 30 and 60 degrees. The solution involves drawing free body diagrams of subsections, then applying equations of static equilibrium including summing moments and forces to solve for the unknowns. Key steps include taking moments about different points, summing horizontal and vertical forces, and using trigonometric relationships between known and unknown member forces.
