2 Vectors: position,forceandmoment 42
The key vectors for statics, namely relative position, force, and mo-
ment, are used to develop vector skills. Notational clarity is empha-
sized because good vector calculation demands distinguishing vectors
fromscalars. Vectoradditionismotivatedbytheneedtoaddforcesand

One object is in equilibrium if the forces and moments balance. For a
particle,forcebalancetellsall. Butforanextendedobject,momentbal-
ance is also essential. There are special shortcuts for an objects that

relevant the possibility of motion needs to be taken into account. Many
real-world problems are not statically determinate and thus yield either
only partial solutions, or yield full solutions after you have made extra
assumptions.

Hereweconsidercollectionsofpartsassembledsoastoholdsomething
up or hold something in place. Emphasis is on trusses, assemblies of
bars connected by pins at their ends. Trusses are analyzed by drawing
free-body diagrams of the pins or of bigger parts of the truss (method
ofsections). Frameworksbuiltwithotherthantwo-forcebodiesarealso
analyzedbydrawingfree-bodydiagramsofparts.Structurescanberigid
or not and redundant or not, as can be determined by the collection of
equilibriumequations.

6 Transmissionsandmechanisms 328
Some collections of solid parts are assembled so as to cause force or
torque in one place given a different force or torque in another. These
include levers, gear boxes, presses, pliers, clippers, chain drives, and
crank-drives. Besides solid parts connected by pins, a few special-

purpose parts are commonly used, including springs and gears. Tricks
for amplifying force are usually based on principals idealized by pul-
leys, levers, wedges and toggles. Force-analysis of transmissions and
mechanisms is done by drawing free-body diagrams of the parts, writ-

The ‘internal forces’ tension, shear and bending moment can vary from
point to point in long narrow objects. Here we introduce the notion of
graphingthisvariationandnotingthefeaturesofthesegraphs.

8 Hydrostatics 406
Hydrostaticsconcernstheequivalentforceandmomentduetodistributed
pressure on a surface from a still fluid. Pressure increases with depth.
With constant pressure the equivalent force has magnitude = pressure
times area, acting at the centroid. For linearly-varying pressure on a
rectangular plate the equivalent force is the average pressure times the
area acting 2/3 of the way down. The net force acting on a totally sub-
merged object in a constant density fluid is the displaced fluid’s weight
actingatthecentroid.
