UNDERSTANDINGS: Students will understand that …
• U1 – Laws of motion describe how forces affect a body.
• U2 – Applied forces are vector quantities with a definedmagnitude, direction, and sense, and can be broken intovector components.
• U3 – Free body diagrams are used to illustrate andcalculate forces acting upon a given body.
• U4 – Forces acting at a distance from an axis or pointattempt or cause an object to rotate.
• U5 – Structural member properties – including centroid location, moment of inertia, and modulus of elasticity –are important considerations for structure design.
• U6 – Static equilibrium occurs when the sum of all forcesacting on a body are equal to zero.
• U7 – Under static equilibrium conditions, the laws ofmotion can be used to calculate external forces on atruss and internal forces in truss members.
• U8 – (Design Process) Engineers and engineering technologists apply math, science, and discipline-specific skills to solve problems. (Same as U1 of Lesson 1.1.)
• U9 – (Career Exploration) Engineering and engineering technology careers offer creative job opportunities for individuals with a wide variety of backgrounds and goals.(Same as U2 of Lesson 1.1.)
