Question

The science which deals with the action of forces on bodies such that the bodies are at rest is called-

• A. Kinematics
• B. Statistics
• C. Statics
• D. Dynamics

Answer 1

Answer:

C. Statics

Mechanics is the science that deals with the effects of forces on objects. It has two parts: Statics and Dynamics. Statics deals with the equilibrium of bodies under the action of forces, where the body can be at rest or in uniform motion and the net force on the body is zero. Dynamics deals with the motion of the body under the action of force, where it deals with accelerated bodies.
