Statics is primarily the study of bodies in static equilibrium. There are two conditions necessary for static equilibrium: the net force on a body equals zero and the net torque on a body equals zero....Statics is primarily the study of bodies in static equilibrium. There are two conditions necessary for static equilibrium: the net force on a body equals zero and the net torque on a body equals zero. Although any body with a constant velocity (of its center of mass) and a constant angular momentum is in equilibrium, the conditions of static equilibrium are most often applied to bodies that are at rest and not rotating.
