Synopsis

This book explores the force's ability to create motion, and the various concepts that can be studied under this umbrella. The author provides an in-depth exploration of forces acting at a point, the representation of force, the measurement of force, resultant force, and the conditions of equilibrium. In addition, this book also delves into parallel forces and couples, the relationship between work and equilibrium, and the concept of a center of gravity. Experiments and examples are used throughout to illustrate the concepts being discussed, and each chapter provides a series of exercises and problems for the reader to complete. Overall, this book provides a comprehensive overview of the fundamental principles of statics and is a valuable resource for anyone interested in learning more about this topic.
