Statics is the branch of mechanics that studies the conditions for the equilibrium of bodies. Equilibrium is a state where a body remains at rest or moves uniformly and rectilinearly relative to a chosen inertial frame of reference. 2. Key Concepts
The vector sum of all external forces acting on the body must be zero.
