Sinopsis

A clear, practical introduction to statics, focused on forces applied to a single particle and the key idea that a resultant force governs motion. The text uses the parallelogram, triangle, and polygon representations to show how forces combine and balance.


Readers will learn to distinguish between equilibrium and motion, work through the concept of systems of forces, and see how to reduce complex force sets to simpler equivalents. The chapters emphasize both theoretical proofs and concrete, exam-friendly problems, with optional sections on work, and separate, clearly marked summaries to aid revision.



  • How to represent forces and find the resultant in the parallelogram, triangle, and polygon forms

  • Criteria for equilibrium and methods to analyze a system of forces

  • Applications such as moments, transmission of force, and basic machines

  • Practice questions and end-of-chapter summaries to reinforce learning


Ideal for students beginning mechanics or preparing for university-level statics examinations.

Reseña del editor

Excerpt from The University Tutorial Series: The Tutorial Statics

The present book includes those portions of Statics Which are contained in the syllabus of the Science and Art Second (advanced) Stage Examination in Theoretical Mechanics. The earlier chapters require little or no knowledge of Trigonometry, involving as they do practically nothing beyond the mere definitions of the sine, cosine, and tangent. The later chapters deal with the General Conditions of Equi librium of Forces in one Plane; the Principles of Virtual Work and Virtual Velocities, the Laws of Friction, and the Centres of Gravity of frusta of cones, circular arcs, spherical zones, and the like. For the manuscript of these we are indebted to Mr. A. Cracknell, ma.
