2 Force VectorsForces have both size and direction, so they must be handled as vectors rather than ordinary numbers. Problems ›

3 Equilibrium of a ParticleWhen a load is lifted at constant velocity or simply hangs at rest, it is in equilibrium. Problems ›

4 Force System ResultantsA force applied off the line of action of a point produces a turning effect — a moment. Problems ›

5 Equilibrium of a Rigid BodyWhen a rigid body neither accelerates nor rotates, the forces and moments acting on it must cancel completely. Problems ›

6 Structural AnalysisBefore a truss, frame, or machine can be designed, the force carried by every member must be known. Problems ›

7 Internal ForcesWhen external loads act on beams, columns, and frames, forces and moments develop within each member. Problems ›

8 FrictionDry friction is the tangential resistance that develops where two unlubricated surfaces meet. Problems ›

9 Center of Gravity and CentroidEngineering Statics · Chapter 9 Problems ›

10 Moments of InertiaCHAPTER 10 · Engineering Mechanics: Statics Problems ›

11 Virtual WorkThe principle of virtual work was introduced by the Swiss mathematician Jean Bernoulli in the eighteenth century. Problems ›
