Synopsis
A clear, practical introduction to statics, focused on forces applied to a single particle and the key idea that a resultant force governs motion. The text uses the parallelogram, triangle, and polygon representations to show how forces combine and balance.
Readers will learn to distinguish between equilibrium and motion, work through the concept of systems of forces, and see how to reduce complex force sets to simpler equivalents. The chapters emphasize both theoretical proofs and concrete, exam-friendly problems, with optional sections on work, and separate, clearly marked summaries to aid revision.
- How to represent forces and find the resultant in the parallelogram, triangle, and polygon forms
- Criteria for equilibrium and methods to analyze a system of forces
- Applications such as moments, transmission of force, and basic machines
- Practice questions and end-of-chapter summaries to reinforce learning
Ideal for students beginning mechanics or preparing for university-level statics examinations.

The University Tutorial Series: The Tutorial Statics (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a comprehensive analysis of the principles governing the equilibrium of forces acting on stationary objects. Developed by the author during the late 19th century, these principles have since become fundamental to the field of mechanics. By delving into the nature of forces and their interactions, this book elucidates the conditions under which objects remain at rest, providing a solid foundation for understanding more complex mechanical systems. Through the exploration of concepts such as the parallelogram of forces, moments of forces, and the principle of virtual work, this book offers a detailed examination of the behavior of forces in equilibrium, making it an invaluable resource for students, engineers, and anyone seeking to grasp the intricacies of force interactions. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781332313334_0
