Q: Which of the following branches of mechanics deal with the equilibrium of the bodies under the effect of the forces?
  • A. Kinetics
  • B. Kinematics
  • C. Statics
  • D. Dynamics
Correct Answer: Option C - Statics– It is that branch of mechanics which deals with the action of forces on bodies in equilibrium. Dynamics– It is that branch of mechanics which deals with the action of forces in motion. Kinetics– It deals with the problems which require the determination of the effect of forces on the motion of a body or conversely the forces causing a certain motion.
