Introduction: This paper is concerned with investigating the cognitive demands of solving force diagram tasks in different scenarios, specifically in the wind context. Methods: In this study, students ...

This course presents the fundamental principles of structural analysis, determination of reactions, internal forces and deflections under the static load conditions. The course is mainly focused to ...

Free body diagrams do not need to be drawn to scale but it can sometimes be useful if they are. It is important to label each arrow to show the magnitude of the force it represents. The type of force ...

A force is a push or a pull that acts on an object due to the interaction with another object. Force is measured in newtons (N). Forces are divided into contact forces and non-contact forces. A force ...
