Statics & Mechanics Workbench
Forces, moments, and equilibrium; the constant-acceleration kinematics suite; projectile range with the trajectory drawn; and torque with the angle accounted for. Covers §9.1–9.8 and §9.24–9.31 of the Engineering pillar.
Weight, Force, Moment
Two-Force Equilibrium: ΣF = 0
Known forces F₁ and F₂ act at angles θ₁ and θ₂ (from +x). Find the balancing force F₃.

Constant-Acceleration Suite
Enter any three of v₀, v, a, t, Δd — the suite solves the rest from v = v₀ + at, Δd = v₀t + ½at², v² = v₀² + 2aΔd.

Torque with Angle
Equilibrium is bookkeeping: if the sums ΣFx, ΣFy, ΣM don't close to zero, the missing entry is the unknown force or moment. The workbench solves by balancing the totals.
