Objectives of the Course
The aim of this course is to teach students to use the free body diagram for solving basic engineering problems, the principles of equilibrium in static loads and the ability to calculate internal forces and support reactions in structures with equilibrium equations based on these principles. To understand the behavior and the nature of solids. To translate the knowledge of engineering mechanics to fisheries applications. To formulate physics laws related to engineering mechanics for fishing gears.
