Course Information

• Course title: Statics (1)
• Course code: 103R
• University: Zagazig University
• Department: Mathematics
• Faculty: Faculty of Science

Introduction to Statics

• Statics is a branch of applied mathematics that studies the equilibrium of bodies under the influence of forces.
• It focuses on analyzing forces and finding conditions for equilibrium.
• Its history dates back to the early development of engineering sciences.
• The Quran mentions concepts associated with the state of equilibrium ("sكون").
• The book aims to present the material in a clear, concise, and engaging manner, suitable for a single semester course. It also facilitates a smooth transition from high school to college-level learning while maintaining scientific accuracy and theoretical originality.

Chapter 1: Vectors

• Vectors are quantities that have both magnitude and direction, unlike scalars (which only have magnitude).
• Vectors are fundamental to many fields of study, including physics and engineering.
• Important operations on vectors are, vector addition, multiplication by scalars, etc.
• Vector equations, and methods for solving these are covered and have applications in various fields.
• Key topics in this chapter include vector definitions, properties, algebraic operations, and applications in geometry and physics.

Chapter 2: Force Systems in Space

• Force definitions, force moments, and couples are covered.
• Reduction of a system of forces to a single force or a couple or both.
• Topics like determining the magnitude and direction of forces and applying the laws of equilibrium are also studied.
• Systems of screws and the equation of their axes are studied.
• Includes a study of the equilibrium of a system of forces.

Chapter 3: Applications of Plane Trusses

• Reaction forces at hinges are determined and analyzed.
• Equilibrium analysis of connected bars.
• Friction and sliding conditions are studied.
• Includes numerous solved examples and practice problems.

Chapter 4: Equilibrium of Catenaries and Cables

• Equilibrium of chains and cables are studied.
• Catenary is a specific type of curved line that a flexible cable or chain takes when suspended at two points
• Derivation of equations in various forms (including parametric equations)

Course Schedule

• The course schedule outlines the topics, subtopics, and exam dates for each week.
• The schedule helps students with their study preparation and aids lecturers to cover the syllabus on schedule.

Additional Notes

• The textbook contains numerous solved examples clarifying theoretical concepts.
• It includes problems and applications from mathematics, engineering, and physics.
• The book is tailored to the revised curriculum of the Faculty of Science in Zagazig University, aligning with the approved credits system (2015).
• The course content bridges secondary school knowledge with college topics.
