statics
Statics is a branch of physics that studies and analyzes forces, torques, and the resultant equilibrium of stationary bodies under the influence of these factors. It involves the study of objects that are either at rest, or move at a constant velocity. Statics is crucial in the design and analysis of structures, from buildings and bridges to machinery components.
Webster Dictionary
Staticsnoun
that branch of mechanics which treats of the equilibrium of forces, or relates to bodies as held at rest by the forces acting on them; -- distinguished from dynamics
Etymology: [Cf. F. statique, Gr. statikh` the art of weighing, fr. statiko`s. See Static.]

Statics
Statics is the branch of mechanics that is concerned with the analysis of loads on physical systems 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 first law, this situation implies that the net force and net torque on every part of the system is zero. From this constraint, such quantities as 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.
