ENGINEERING MECHANICS: STATICS
QUESTIONS AND CORRECT DETAILED
ANSWERS ALREADY GRADED A+ LATEST
UPDATE 2025
Statics - ANSWER-A science which deals with the action of forces on bodies, the forces being
so arranged that they are in equilibrium.
Force - ANSWER-A pull or push, which acting on a body changes or tends to change, the
state of rest or uniform motion of the body. Measured in Newton (N).
Force System - ANSWER-A number of forces acting on a body.
Coplanar Forces - ANSWER-The forces acting on a body lying in the same plane.
Collinear Forces - ANSWER-The coplanar forces having a common line of action.
Concurrent Forces - ANSWER-The system of forces intersecting at a common point.
Parallel Forces - ANSWER-Those forces having parallel lines of action.
Principle of Transmissibility of a Force - ANSWER-States that if a force acts at any point of a
rigid body it may be considered to act at any other point in its line of action provided the point is
rigidly connected with the body.
