Synopsis

This book provides a comprehensive guide to statics, the science concerned with forces acting on stationary rigid bodies. Static principles are essential for understanding physical phenomena at all scales, from the behaviour of inanimate objects to the mechanics of living beings. The author begins by introducing the fundamental concepts of mechanics, including force, motion, and energy. Subsequent chapters delve into the composition and resolution of forces, the concept of equilibrium, and more advanced topics such as couples and the center of gravity. The book's clear explanations, illustrative examples, and insightful discussions provide a thorough grounding in the principles of statics. By mastering these principles, readers will gain a deeper understanding of the physical world and its mechanical workings.
