Study Notes

Statics

Statics is the branch of physics that deals with the study of statics. It focuses on understanding how objects move through space and the interactions between different physical quantities like mass, force, acceleration, work, energy, power and their relationship towards each other.

Forces

Forces refer to any interaction that can change the motion of an object. They come from the outside world, like gravity pulling you down, or they result from your own actions, such as pushing against a wall. For example, if you push on something, it will experience a force equal in strength to the push, but in the opposite direction.

Equilibrium

Equilibrium is a state where all parts of an extended object are moving at constant velocity relative to some frame of reference. An object is considered to be in static equilibrium when it is both statically stable (which means it would remain stationary) and it does not have any torque acting on it. If an object is at rest and has no net external force acting upon it, it is said to be in static equilibrium. This occurs because there is no net force acting on the object.

Structures

Structural mechanics is a subject of civil engineering that studies the functional behavior of structures and building materials under the action of loads such as dead load, live load, wind load and earthquake load. In structural analysis, engineers determine how much weight a structure can hold before collapsing by calculating the stresses on the materials involved.

Friction

Friction refers to the resistance that one surface or material experiences when moved over another. When two surfaces rub together, they create heat and wear. Friction is what keeps our feet on the ground while running, helps us stop quickly, and prevents a car tire from spinning out of control. Without friction, we wouldn't be able to walk or drive cars.

Internal Forces

Internal forces within a system occur when individual particles interact with each other, causing the particles to move around and exert pressure on each other. These forces are responsible for the movement of fluids and gases, as well as the way solids behave when compressed.
