APPLIED STATICS AND STRENGTH OF
MATERIALS PRACTICE TEST 2026 EXAM
SCRIPT WITH VERIFIED SOLUTIONS
◉ Static Equilibrium. Answer: A balanced state or condition, usually
used to describe a situation in which
opposed force effects neutralize each other to produce a net effect of
zero (no motion occurring).
◉ Strength of Materials. Answer: Study of the properties of material
bodies that enable them to resist the
actions of external forces, of the stresses within the bodies, and of the
deformation of bodies that
result from external forces
◉ Scalar. Answer: Quantity that involves only magnitude.
◉ Vector. Answer: Quantity that involves magnitude and direction.
◉ Magnitude. Answer: Amount of a force
, ◉ Line of Action. Answer: : Orientation of the path of a force
◉ Sense. Answer: Which way the force is traveling along a line of
action (i.e., up or down).
◉ Collinear Forces. Answer: All forces act in a single straight line
◉ Coplanar Forces. Answer: All forces acting in a single plane.
◉ Parallel Forces. Answer: All forces having the same direction
◉ Concurrent Forces. Answer: All forces having their lines of action
intersect at a common point.
◉ Resultant. Answer: A single force that has the same effect as the
various forces in the system acting
simultaneously.
◉ Resolution. Answer: Breaking down a single force into its
components.
◉ Moment. Answer: The tendency of a force to cause rotation about a
given point or axis. It is equal to a force
