603. Graphical Statics. [Thornton.]
The necessary preparation is such knowledge of experimental mechanics as
is given in Physics 200. Graphical methods in mechanics; problems in the
composition and resolution of forces and moments; determination by graphical
methods of centers of gravity, and moments of inertia; construction of strain
sheets for the simpler forms of roof and bridge trusses; study of the stability
of dams and walls; calculation of internal stress in girders, and beam deflections.
