Achieving static equilibrium involves balancing forces and torques. To solve problems, we select a pivot point, draw an extended force diagram, and balance torques and force components. This analysis is crucial for understanding structures like beams or bridges under load, where forces and torques must be precisely balanced to maintain stability.
