Statics is a branch of mechanics which studies the effects and distribution of forces
of rigid bodies which are and remain at rest. In this area of mechanics, the body in
which forces are acting is assumed to be rigid. The deformation of non-rigid bodies is
treated in Strength of Materials.
Topics in Statics:
Moments of Inertia
Components of a Force
Forces acting at some angle from the the coordinate axes can be resolved into
mutually perpendicular forces called components. The component of a force parallel
to the x-axis is called the x-component, parallel to y-axis the y-component, and so on.
TOPICS UNDER COMPONENTS OF A FORCE:
Problem 001 The calculator keys here are based on the following CASIO models: fx-570ES, fx-
Problem Determine the x and y components of the forces shown below in Fig P-001 570ES Plus, fx-115ES, fx-115ES Plus, fx-991ES, and fx-991ES Plus
From the above vector notations, Fx is the coefficient of i and Fy is the coefficient of j.
