Question

Statics is a sub-branch of mechanics that deals with bodies at ________.

Answer 1

1. Mechanics may be divided into three branches: statics, which deals with forces acting on and in a body at rest; kinematics, which describes the possible motions of a body or system of bodies; and kinetics, which attempts to explain or predict the motion that will occur in a given situation.
2. Thus, statics is a branch of mechanics that deals with the object at rest even when a number of forces acting on it are in equilibrium.
3. Time factor has no role to play in statics.
