Springs, Vectors, Law of Sines and Cosines - In which VCE unit?

Hey.
In one of my uni subjects, we are doing a section on statics.
THis involves physics like stuff such as springs, vectors, law of sines and cosines, resultant forces and moments...

Im really really struggling with this stuff.... :'( :'( :'(

Which VCE units has stuff on the above? (I figured that if i read a book that was aimed at high school students, then maybe perhaps I can understand this physics stuff better...)

Thanks

Sounds exactly like what we're doing in Specialist now (except springs) :)

For moments and springs, try an older spesh maths textbook - everything else there should be in any current one. I occasionally use one called General Mathematics B (or something generic like that) by something Fitzpatrick and yeh, its based on the old course and its got stuff like that which has been taken out of the new course. Its got pretty good explanations too, 'cept it just looks ugly.

I just did a sac for physics on the stuff, with like F=kx and stuff. woot!

Physics Unit Two may help give an overview of what's actually going on but I think a spesh book would be more helpful
