INTRODUCTION
PRINCIPLES OF STATICS
STATICS. THE BRANCH OF CLASSICAL MECHANICS
THAT IS CONCERNED WITH THE ANALYSIS OF ACTING
ON PHYSICAL SYSTEMS THAT DO NOT EXPERIENCE AN
ACCELERATION, BUT RATHER, ARE IN STATIC
EQUILIBRIUM WITH THEIR ENVIRONMENT.

RIGID BODY. AN IDEALIZATION OF A BODY THAT DOES

NOT DEFORM OR CHANGE SHAPE

FORCE. AN EXTERNAL AGENT CAPABLE OF CHANGING

THE STATE OF REST OR MOTION OF A PARTICULAR
BODY.

CHARACTERISTICS OF FORCE
1. MAGNITUDE
2. POSITION OF ITS LINE OF ACTION
3. DIRECTION

PRINCIPLES OF STATICS
FORCE SYSTEM. THE ARRANGEMENT OF TWO OR
MORE FORCES ACT ON A BODY OR A GROUP OF
RELATED BODIES

COPLANAR FORCES – WHERE FORCES ARE ON THE

SAME PLANE

NON-COPLANAR FORCES – WHERE FORCES AREN’T

OCCUPYING SAME PLANE

PRINCIPLES OF STATICS
AXIOM OF MECHANICS

1. PARALLELOGRAM LAW. THE RESULT OF TWO

FORCES IS THE DIAGONAL OF THE
PARALLELOGRAM FORMED ON THE VECTORS OF
THESE FORCES.
2. TWO FORCES ARE IN EQUILIBRIUM ONLY WHEN
EQUAL IN MAGNITUDE, OPPOSITE IN DIRECTION
AND COLLINEAR IN ACTION.
3. A SET OF FORCES IN EQUILIBRIUM MAY BE ADDED
TO ANY SYSTEM OF FORCES WITHOUT CHANGING
THE EFFECT OF THE ORIGINAL SYSTEM
4. ACTION AND REACTION FORCES ARE EQUAL BUT
OPPOSITELY DIRECTED
