Newton's second law states that F = m\cdot a
Newton's second law states that F = m\cdot a
True
If a = 0, then F = 0.
If a = 0, then F = 0.
True
For a system in static equilibrium, the acceleration equals zero, the system is either at rest, or its center of mass moves at constant velocity.
For a system in static equilibrium, the acceleration equals zero, the system is either at rest, or its center of mass moves at constant velocity.
True
The application of the assumption of zero acceleration to the summation of moments acting on the system leads to M = I \cdot \alpha = 0.
The application of the assumption of zero acceleration to the summation of moments acting on the system leads to M = I \cdot \alpha = 0.
For a system where α = 0, it is also true that M = 0.
For a system where α = 0, it is also true that M = 0.
