This includes the mathematical description of static systems of rigid bodies, including the conditions for equilibrium.

Equilibrium

A bodies is in mechanical equilibrium either when it is not in motion, or is in motion with a constant velocity. For this to be true, there are two conditions required.

The first is that there are no net forces on the body

The second is that there are no net torques, or rotating forces, on the body.


The history of statics and static systems can be examined. There seems to be little evidence of it in prehistory or antiquity, but in classical and medieval times, and especially modern times, it has been developed. its future is obscure. Sociology including social structure and change, communities, and peoples of the world will be useful. Institutions including families, education, economics, government, and religion may be useful. Culture including connections to material culture, conceptual culture, and behavioral culture will be useful. Anthropology including social foundations, demography, physical anthropology, human ecology, human geography, and particular groups will be useful. Personal studies including the human body, psychology seem to provide mostly applications, but biography may be useful.	Links to other sites: Not yet available.
Biology including molecular biology, cell biology, organism biology, systematics, ecology, and biophistory may also suggest and illustrate applications. Earth science including geology, hydrospheric science, atmospheric science, physical geography, and geohistory also illustrates and suggests applications. Astronomy including Solar system astronomy, stellar astronomy, galactic astronomy, and cosmology chiefly illustrates applications. Chemistry including substances, changes, and chemical systems suggests some applications of statics. The structure of matter, quantum theory, relativity, electromagnetism principally suggest illustrations of rigid body statis and are not directly useful. This will be connected to other areas of mechanics. Gravitation and nonrigis mechanics principally suggest illustrations. Other areas of rigid body mechanics including rigid body description and motion, rotational dynamics, and dynamic systems can be connected. Particle mechanics including particle systems, energetics, kinetics, kinematics, and particle description can also be connected.
