| Learning Objectives Description |
| Use symmetry to reduce three-dimensional situations to two-dimensional representations |
| Replace symmetrically distributed load per volume/area by a distributed load per length |
| Replace a simple known distributed load per volume/ area/ length by a single force with an appropriate line of action |
| Represent unknown distributed forces due to contact between symmetrical flat bodies by a statically equivalent force acting at an unknown location somewhere in the contact area |
| Recognize the role of symmetry planes in determining the location of the center of gravity |
| Determine the location of the center of gravity for bodies that can be decomposed into rectangular prisms |
| Use tabulated results to determine the location of the center of gravity for bodies that can be decomposed into simple shapes (and recognize that the location of the center of gravity for prismatic bodies can be determined by integration). |
