Explores stability analysis of mechanical systems using virtual work and potential energy, emphasizing the types of equilibrium positions and their stability.
Explores mechanical equilibrium, focusing on forces, moments, and resultants in 2D and 3D systems, emphasizing system isolation and equilibrium conditions.
Delves into the historical motivations behind the second law of thermodynamics, emphasizing limitations in heat-to-work conversion and the inevitability of irreversible processes.
