Engineering Mechanics: Statics Test Questions With
Accurate Solutions
Statics - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅A science which deals with the action of forces on
bodies, the forces being so arranged that they are in equilibrium.


Force - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅A pull or push, which acting on a body changes or tends
to change, the state of rest or uniform motion of the body. Measured in Newton (N).


Force System - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅A number of forces acting on a body.



Coplanar Forces - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅The forces acting on a body lying in the same
plane.


Collinear Forces - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅The coplanar forces having a common line of
action.


Concurrent Forces - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅The system of forces intersecting at a
common point.


Parallel Forces - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅Those forces having parallel lines of action.



Principle of Transmissibility of a Force - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅States that if a force
acts at any point of a rigid body it may be considered to act at any other point in its line of action
provided the point is rigidly connected with the body.


Resultant Force - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅The single force and associated torque
obtained by combining a system of forces and torques acting on a rigid body.


Resultant of Many Forces Formula - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅R = √((∑Fx)²+(∑Fy)²)
