Analysis of the forces which act upon particles and rigid bodies at rest. Balances of forces and moments on an object provide the basis for equilibrium calculations involving points, rigid bodies, trusses, frames and machines with a variety of supports, including frictional. The concepts of centroids, center of gravity and moment of inertia are also introduced.
