COURSE DESCRIPTIONS
MECH 2102 (Mechanics)
This is a foundation course that provides the fundamental
concepts required for the understanding and development
of basic engineering sciences, and builds on the principles
developed in Physics 1100. This first course in mechanics
concentrates on the all important concepts of statics.

of Rigid Bodies; Rigid Bodies in Space; Centroids and Centres
of Gravity; Analysis of Frames and Machines; Friction; Second
Moments of Area and Moments of Inertia
Prerequisite - PHYS 1100 (Physics); MATH 1100 (Mathematics)
Duration - 13 weeks
Lectures - 3 hours/week
Laboratories - 1 hour/week
