Investigate and analyze forces within structures, and forces applied to them
-
recognize and use units of force and mass, and identify and measure forces
and loads
identify tension, compression, shearing and bending forces within a
structure; and describe how these forces can cause the structure to fail
(e.g., identify tensile forces that cause lengthening and possible snapping of
a member; identify bending forces that could lead to breakage)
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
Students will:
1. Know the difference between mass and weight.
2. Know that gravity pulls down not pushes down.
3. Be able to draw a force diagram.
4. Know the types of internal forces
5. Recognize and use units of force and mass.
