Engineering Mechanics: Statics UPDATED
ACTUAL QUESTIONS AND CORRECT
ANSWERS
Statics - Correct answers✔✔A science which deals with the action of forces on bodies, the forces
being so arranged that they are in equilibrium.



Force - Correct answers✔✔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 - Correct answers✔✔A number of forces acting on a body.



Coplanar Forces - Correct answers✔✔The forces acting on a body lying in the same plane.



Collinear Forces - Correct answers✔✔The coplanar forces having a common line of action.



Concurrent Forces - Correct answers✔✔The system of forces intersecting at a common point.



Parallel Forces - Correct answers✔✔Those forces having parallel lines of action.



Principle of Transmissibility of a Force - Correct answers✔✔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.



Resultant Force - Correct answers✔✔The single force and associated torque obtained by
combining a system of forces and torques acting on a rigid body.
