Course Curriculum

Moment of a force The concept of moment is introduced, which is the turning effect of a force. Everyday examples, such as opening a door, illustrate this.
Application of moments Students learn to apply the relationship between moment of a force, force, and perpendicular distance from the pivot in various situations.
Principle of moments The principle of moments for a body in equilibrium is explained, emphasizing the balance between clockwise and counterclockwise moments.
Application of principles Students are encouraged to apply the principle of moments to solve problems and analyze new situations, involving balanced or unbalanced forces.
Centre of gravity Understanding that the weight of a body can be treated as acting at its center of gravity, simplifying calculations and stability analysis.
Equilibrium conditions Exploring the conditions required for equilibrium, where the sum of forces and moments acting on an object is zero, ensuring stability.
