10 Questions
Newton's second law states that F = m\cdot a
True
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.
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.
True
For a system where α = 0, it is also true that M = 0.
True
In statics, if the acceleration of a system is zero, what can be said about the total force acting on the system?
It is also zero
What does it mean when a system in static equilibrium has zero acceleration?
The system is either at rest or its center of mass moves at constant velocity
What does the equation M = I \alpha = 0 represent in statics?
