If all forces sum up to zero, there will be no acceleration, and the body retains whatever velocity it had before. Statics is the study of objects that are neither currently moving nor experiencing a net force, and thus remain stationary.

By Newton’s Second Law, this means that the vector sum of the forces (and torques, as we will see in a later chapter) exerted on an object must be zero. In dynamic situations, the acceleration of the object is non-zero.

In this case the forces all balance, and the net force on each body is zero.

Dynamics is the study of motion which includes kinematics along with the forces present that influence the motion. A special case of dynamics is called statics, and is the study of those problems in which the forces balance and there is no motion in the system. We’ll begin our study of kinematics in one dimension; the generalization to two or three dimensions is fairly straightforward.
