Objetivos

It is intended that after the attendance of this course unit, students are able to solve problems involving the equilibrium of particles and rigid bodies, with and without friction; to obtain the mass centre position and the moment of inertia of composite bodies; to resolve problems of stability and equilibrium through energetic concepts.

Resultados de aprendizagem e competências

Students must acquire basic mechanical skills (forces, moments, balance) indispensable in a civil engineering training.
