CVEN 221 – Statics Class – 2011c with videos

Posted on July 26, 2021 by Abigail Stason

PLEASE NOTE: If you are having problems viewing the files, please click here.

The Lectures are MP4 for phones or IPod stuff, or Real Video (.rm) files. You will need Real Player or Real Alternative to view the Real files. You can either left-click on the Lecture files and stream them over the web, or you can download them to your computer and play them from there by right-clicking “Download” then “Save Target As.” You cannot download the .rm files by merely right-clicking on them. That will only give you a short one-line rtsp file. Clicking on that will again stream the file over the web.

You will need Adobe Reader to view the Notes files. The Notes files can be viewed by left-clicking on them or you can download them to your computer by right-clicking and then “Save Target As.”  The MP4 files can be downloaded by right-clicking and then “Save Target As.”

Textbook: The textbook used this semester is excellent – one of the best.  You will definitely have to get one to use and understand the lectures below.

  • Engineering Mechanics: Statics by R. C. Hibbeler, Prentice Hall, 12th Edition.
