CELE Engineering MechanicsEquilibrium of Particles and Rigid BodiesSlides

Slide deck for CELE Engineering Mechanics — Equilibrium of Particles and Rigid Bodies. These slides are built for quick visual review, highlighting the key concepts, formulas, and question patterns from this chapter of the CELE 2026 syllabus.

Exam context

For the Civil Engineer Licensure Examination, Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) — Board of Civil Engineering tests Engineering Mechanics under a "Core" label, with Equilibrium of Particles and Rigid Bodies in the 2nd slot across 8 chapters. CELE candidates must clear the 70% weighted average, no sub-test below 50% cut on the 2026 paper, which draws about a meaningful share of Engineering Mechanics questions. Date to watch: May and November 2026.
