statiikka
Statiikka, or statics, is a branch of mechanics that studies bodies in equilibrium under applied forces. It seeks to determine forces, reactions at supports, and internal member forces that maintain balance.
The core concepts are translational equilibrium, where the sum of all forces is zero, and rotational equilibrium,
Analytical methods include solving linear equations for forces and moments. In planar trusses, common techniques are
Statiikka underpins the design and analysis of structures such as buildings and bridges, as well as mechanical
In education, statics is taught in physics and engineering curricula and relies on vector algebra, geometry,
