Brief Rationale

Statics is a logical continuation of what one

has learned in College Physics.
It integrates as well as simplifies the
principles of forces and of rigid bodies into
a strong foundation for the budding
engineering student.
This course will expose the student to
various possible methods of solving, and to
illustrate the application of these methods
to practical engineering problems.
Objective
At the end of the course, the student should be
able to:
Analyze and solve problems involving forces acting on
a rigid body or a system of rigid bodies at rest;
Analyze and solve problems involving truss structures
using the method of joints and the method of
sections.
Locate the centroid and center of gravity of areas,
lines and composite shapes;
Solve for moment of inertia of areas/composite areas
by integration and by application of parallel axis
theorem;
Draw the shear and bending moment diagrams by
sectioning and area method and;
Analyze and solve problems involving force systems in
space.

5th Long Exam

Course Policies and Requirements

University rules on attendance shall be

strictly followed.
Students must use ENSC Paper with the
proper format for all examinations and
assignments, and must start each
problem on a new page.
There shall be quizzes, assignments, and
problem sets to be given in class. Quizzes
can either be announced or unannounced.
Course Policies and Requirements
Long Examinations
There shall be at least five (5) departmental long
examinations of equal weight. Not one examination
shall be considered void. There shall be no take-
home exams.
A student who misses an exam should present a valid
excuse slip to the faculty concerned not later than
the second class session following the students
return in order to take the departmental make-up
exam. Failure to do so would mean a grade of zero for
the missed exam. Note that a student is allowed only
to take one departmental make-up exam.
Questions regarding examination results will be
entertained only within three (3) working days after
release of results.
Course Policies and Requirements

University policy on cheating shall be

strictly imposed. Cheating in any form
shall be penalized with a grade of 5.0
in the course and shall be subjected to
disciplinary action under the Student
Rules and Regulations on Conduct and
Discipline as approved by the Board of
Regents.
Grading

The passing mark for all examinations, quizzes,

exercises and assignments is 60.00%.
Computation of grade is as follows:

%
Lecture Exam 80
Quizzes 15 70
Pre-Final Standing 100
Final Examination 30
Final Standing 100
Grading

A student with a pre-final standing of at least

78% with no exam below 60%shall be
exempted from taking the final examination
and shall have his pre-final standing as the final
standing.
A student shall be required to take the
departmental removal examination if the final
standing is lower than 60% but at least 55%.
Questions and corrections regarding the pre-
final and final standing will be entertained only
within three (3) working days after posting
