{{Classical mechanics|cTopic=Branches}}
'''Statics''' is the branch of [[mechanics]] that is concerned with the analysis of loads ([[force]] and [[torque|torque, or "moment"]]) on [[physical system]]s in static equilibrium, that is, in a state where the relative positions of subsystems do not vary over time, or where components and structures are at a constant velocity. When in static equilibrium, the system is either at rest, or its [[center of mass]] moves at constant velocity.
 
By [[Newton's laws of motion|Newton's first law]], this situation implies that the net force and net torque (also known as moment of force) on every part of the system is zero. From this constraint, such quantities as [[stress (physics)|stress]] or [[pressure]] can be derived. The net forces equaling zero is known as the ''first condition for equilibrium,'' and the net torque equaling zero is known as the ''second condition for equilibrium.'' See [[statically determinate]].
 
==Vectors==
[[Image:Beam in static equilibrium2.svg|framed|Example of a beam in static equilibrium. The sum of force and moment is zero.]]
A scalar is a quantity, such as mass or temperature, which only has a magnitude. A vector is a quantity that has both a magnitude and a direction. There are several notations to identify a vector, including:
*A bold faced character '''V'''
*An underlined character <u>V</u>
*A character with an arrow over it <math>\overrightarrow{V}</math>.
 
Vectors can be added using the [[parallelogram law]] or the [[Euclidean vector|triangle law]]. Vectors contain components in orthogonal bases. Unit vectors i, j, and k are by convention [[Cartesian coordinate system|along the x, y, and z axes]].
 
==Force==
'''Force''' is the action of one body on another. A force is either a push or a pull. A force tends to move a body in the direction of its action. The action of a force is characterized by its magnitude, by the direction of its action, and by its point of application. Thus force is a vector quantity, because its effect depends on the direction as well as on the magnitude of the action.<ref>Meriam, James L., and L. Glenn Kraige. ''Engineering Mechanics'' (6th ed.)  Hoboken, N.J.: John Wiley & Sons, 2007; p. 23</ref>
 
Forces are classified as either contact or body forces. A contact force is produced by direct physical contact; an example is the force exerted on a body by a supporting surface. A body force is generated by virtue of the position of a body within a force field such as a gravitational, electric, or magnetic field. An example of a body force is the weight of a body in the Earth's gravitational pull.<ref>''Engineering Mechanics'', p. 24</ref>
 
==Moment of a force==
In addition to the tendency to move a body in the direction of its application, a force can also tend to rotate a body about an axis. The axis may be any line which neither intersects nor is parallel to the [[line of action]] of the force. This rotational tendency is known as the ''moment'' ('''M''') of the force. Moment is also referred to as ''torque''.
 
===Moment about a point===
The magnitude of the moment of a force at a point O, is equal to the perpendicular distance from O to the line of action of F, multiplied by the magnitude of the force: M = F * d, where
 
F = the force applied<br/>
d = the perpendicular distance from the axis to the line of action of the force. This perpendicular distance is called the moment arm.
 
The direction of the moment is given by the right hand rule, where counter clockwise (CCW) is out of the page, and clockwise (CW) is into the page. The moment direction may be accounted for by using a stated sign convention, such as a plus sign (+) for counterclockwise moments and a minus sign (−) for clockwise moments, or vice versa. Moments can be added together as vectors.
 
In vector format, the moment can be defined as the [[cross product]] between the radius vector, '''r''' (the vector from point O to the line of action), and the force vector, '''F''':<ref>{{cite book|last=Hibbeler|first=R. C.|title=Engineering Mechanics: Statics, 12th Ed.|year=2010|publisher=Pearson Prentice Hall|location=New Jersey|isbn=10: 0-13-607790-0}}</ref>
 
:<math>\textbf{M}_{O}=\textbf{r} \times \textbf{F}</math>
 
===Varignon's theorem===
[[Varignon's theorem]] states that the moment of a force about any point is equal to the sum of the moments of the components of the force about the same point.
 
==Equilibrium equations==
The static equilibrium of a particle is an important concept in statics. A particle is in equilibrium only if the resultant of all forces acting on the particle is equal to zero. In a rectangular coordinate system the equilibrium equations can be represented by three scalar equations, where the sums of forces in all three directions are equal to zero. An engineering application of this concept is determining the tensions of up to three cables under load, for example the forces exerted on each cable of a hoist lifting an object or of [[guy wires]] restraining a [[hot air balloon]] to the ground.<ref>{{cite book|last=Beer|first=Ferdinand|title=Vector Statics For Engineers|publisher=McGraw Hill|year=2004|isbn=0-07-121830-0}}</ref>
 
==Moment of inertia==
In classical mechanics, [[moment of inertia]], also called mass moment, rotational inertia, polar moment of inertia of mass, or the angular mass, (SI units kg·m²) is a measure of an object's resistance to changes to its rotation. It is the inertia of a rotating body with respect to its rotation. The moment of inertia plays much the same role in rotational dynamics as mass does in linear dynamics, describing the relationship between angular momentum and angular velocity, torque and angular acceleration, and several other quantities. The symbols I and J are usually used to refer to the moment of inertia or polar moment of inertia.
 
While a simple scalar treatment of the moment of inertia suffices for many situations, a more advanced tensor treatment allows the analysis of such complicated systems as spinning tops and gyroscopic motion.
 
The concept was introduced by [[Leonhard Euler]] in his 1765 book ''Theoria motus corporum solidorum seu rigidorum''; he discussed the moment of inertia and many related concepts, such as the principal axis of inertia.
 
==Solids==
Statics is used in the analysis of structures, for instance in [[architectural engineering|architectural]] and [[structural engineering]]. [[Strength of materials]] is a related field of mechanics that relies heavily on the application of static equilibrium. A key concept is the [[center of gravity]] of a body at rest: it represents an imaginary point at which all the [[mass]] of a body resides. The position of the point relative to the [[Foundation (engineering)|foundation]]s on which a body lies determines its [[Stability theory|stability]] in response to external forces. If the center of gravity exists outside the foundations, then the body is unstable because there is a torque acting: any small disturbance will cause the body to fall or topple. If the center of gravity exists within the foundations, the body is stable since no net torque acts on the body. If the center of gravity coincides with the foundations, then the body is said to be [[metastable]].
 
==Fluids==
[[Hydrostatics]], also known as [[fluid statics]], is the study of fluids at rest (i.e. in static equilibrium). The characteristic of any fluid at rest is that the force exerted on any particle of the fluid is the same at all points at the same depth (or altitude) within the fluid. If the net force is greater than zero the fluid will move in the direction of the resulting force. This concept was first formulated in a slightly extended form by [[France|French]] [[mathematician]] and [[philosopher]] [[Blaise Pascal]] in 1647 and became known as [[Pascal's Law]]. It has many important applications in [[hydraulics]]. [[Archimedes]], [[Abū Rayhān al-Bīrūnī]], [[Al-Khazini]]<ref name=Rozhanskaya-642>Mariam Rozhanskaya and I. S. Levinova (1996), "Statics", p. 642, in {{Harv|Morelon|Rashed|1996|pp=614–642}}: {{quote|"Using a whole body of mathematical methods (not only those inherited from the antique theory of ratios and infinitesimal techniques, but also the methods of the contemporary algebra and fine calculation techniques), Arabic scientists raised statics to a new, higher level. The classical results of Archimedes in the theory of the centre of gravity were generalized and applied to three-dimensional bodies, the theory of ponderable lever was founded and the 'science of gravity' was created and later further developed in medieval Europe. The phenomena of statics were studied by using the dynamic approach so that two trends - statics and dynamics - turned out to be inter-related within a single science, mechanics. The combination of the dynamic approach with Archimedean hydrostatics gave birth to a direction in science which may be called medieval hydrodynamics. [...] Numerous experimental methods were developed for determining the specific weight, which were based, in particular, on the theory of balances and weighing. The classical works of al-Biruni and al-Khazini may be considered the beginning of the application of experimental methods in [[medieval science]]."}}</ref> and [[Galileo Galilei]] were also major figures in the development of hydrostatics.

The title of the show is a play on words and a minor double entendre. The Mad Men were the men of Madison avenue in Manhattan, the hub of the advertising world at period. But the title, in my opinion, means more than that.

Like humans, dogs have different sleeping habits. Their sleeping positions should be also considered when contemplating item of pet beds. Puppy that loves to sprawl wants a wider bed whilst a dog that would rather curl right into a ball can do well using a smaller bed. Most importantly, these beds are created to provide comfort whatever position your dogs sleep in. Presently there are different brands, check how the sizes differ even whether it is tagged Large or Double X.

Wedding planners help produce a system it will help keep you organize budget as well as get the cheapest deals at the smallest costs. Talk honestly about budgets. Talk about what hand calculators produce whereas talk to folks and other generous loved-ones who demand to contribute. Discuss who are assigned spend for the things.

Individuals have got high arches or flat feet much more prone to developing each of them. This is due to the overpronation or oversupination normally occurs as a result of poor biomechanical form the toes often take with these conditions. Women may be likely than men to advance a heel spur this can choice of footwear.

Full marks to Abhishek Kapoor for coming at the India's first true blue film on rock audio. There have been movies of four-five people bonding together things a band, like Tere Liye and Pyaar Mein Kabhi Kabhie in the past, but additionally they were cradles that would rock enough to place you to sleep. But Abhishek Kapoor is here up with superlative stuff in Rock On. He seems to have his mind and heart, at right place while making the film. Undoubtedly definitely give competition to Abbas Tyrewala, who directed Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na in the awards in the coming year.

Solar shaver. People immediately thinks of solar power and shavers in an identical sentence but a solar travel shaver left in the vehicle can are invaluable if you're late for virtually any meeting and to smarten up. Even on a jungle trek you maintain clean shaven and keep beard itch at salty.

It was the period I was hearing on the baby bed, seeing you hardly been my fortune, till this moment. If truth be told, I had always shared a bed with my elder brother as a youngster. That is, till I got old enough to throw him amazing bed with my sleep. Of course, Received a bed of my then. Which reason enough for me to be zapped when we visited retail store and I discovered out that the tiny baby bed could be more expensive than what we had paid for the king- size bed at your own home.

As I lugged successful heavy bed to the parking lot, I regarded how I'd spent finest part of my infancy rollicking around on the cold, hard floor or school benches mumbai even in the warm embrace of my new mother. And I discovered well life time memories. But hey! Just because Did not get to enjoy the luxury of babies bedding isn't any reason for me to deprive my baby! My baby will sleep in his/her own crib bedding.
