Course Title: Statics of Rigid Bodies

Pre-Requisite: Phys. 102b, Math 117

Credit: 3 units

Course Description: Statics is the division of mechanics of rigid bodies that deals with bodies which are acted on by
balanced forces and hence are either at rest or move with a constant velocity. It involves the study of
force systems, analysis of structures, friction, centroids and centers of gravity, and moments of
inertia.

ACTIVITY NO. 2 – Constructing a Miniature Transmission Tower Truss Using Barbecue Sticks and Rubber Bands

OBJECTIVE: At the end of the activity, the students should be able to:
1. Evaluate limits of algebraic functions.
2. Evaluate limits of trigonometric functions.

DIRECTION:
1. Each group is given a set of “domino” blocks. There should be eleven (11) blocks in all. Each block is divided
into two parts; the colored portion and the white portion. Problems are written in the colored portion while
answers are written in the white portion.
2. Connect the problem and answer (colored portion to white portion) as in the “domino’ game.
3. Write all solutions on a clean sheet of bond paper, which will be submitted together with the accomplished
“domino” activity.
4. Please do not forget to write the names of the members in your group.

ASSESSMENT:
1. The instructor will give a score for each group using the rubrics shown below, the highest possible score being
20.
2. Additional points will be given for each correct answer in the given activity. A perfect score is 10.
