Why do engineers care about abstract mechanics? We bridge the gap between heavy structures and simple vectors.

Mastering the toolkit: scalars, vectors, and the power of force resolution using trigonometry.

Exploring the balance of particles using Lami's Theorem and the summation of forces.

Understanding centroids and the Moment of Inertia as the geometric resistance to rotation.

The physics of contact: static and kinetic friction on slopes and in machines.

Connecting kinematics (motion) with kinetics (the forces that cause it) to solve engineering problems.
