Question
It would be very unfortunate if the building you are currently in were to tip over. For 10 points each, answer some questions about statics, the science of things that don’t move.
[10m] Statics studies systems that satisfy two simultaneous conditions: the net force on each object must be zero, and the net of this quantity on each object must be zero.
ANSWER: torque [or moment of force]
[10e] Constraints such as walls may apply this force to elements. This force develops between bodies in contact to prevent them from passing into each other, and is named for the direction it points in.
ANSWER: normal force [prompt on reaction force]
[10h] When analyzing a static beam, the first and second integrals of the loading force distribution along the length of the beam give these two quantities. Diagrams of these two quantities are often plotted along with the beam’s free-body diagram; name either.
ANSWER: shear force OR bending moment [accept either; accept shear and moment diagrams]
