This course on Vector Statics aims to teach students the fundamentals of forces and vectors in static equilibrium. By the end of the course, students will be able to analyze and solve problems related to 2D and 3D equilibrium of particles, vector and scalar products, moments, couples, trusses, frames, friction, centroids, and moments of inertia. The course utilizes a combination of theoretical explanations, practical examples, and problem-solving exercises to help students grasp the concepts effectively. This course is intended for students or professionals in engineering, physics, or related fields who want to enhance their understanding of statics and its applications.
