Statics Fundamentals

Description This set of equipment covers the needs of students studying forces, moments, beams and more. Students use
the storable work panel (included) to construct a range of experiments, which allow you to study a full course
in static engineering systems. A full 10-hour workbook is included free of charge in the Learning Centre for this
kit.
Learning objectives / experiments:
• Forces (mass, force, weight,
combining, parallelogram, triangle
and polygon
• Centre of gravity
• Units of weight and mass
• Free body diagrams
• Force vectors
• Coplanar forces
• Bow’s notation
• Principles of moments and
moment of forces
• Distinguishing between moments
and torque
