	Statics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Statics is the branch of physics concerned with physical systems in static equilibrium, that is, in a state where the relative positions of subsystems do not vary over time, or where components and structures are at rest under the action of external forces of equilibrium.
		When in static equilibrium, the system is either at rest, or moving at constant velocity through its center of mass.
		Statics is thoroughly used in the analysis of structures, for instance in architectural and structural engineering.

	Statics - Introduction
		This course is a beginning course in statics, which is a portion of the mechanics of rigid bodies.
		Statics is the study of bodies in equilibrium.
		For a first course in statics, there are several idealizations that are made which have proven to be very valid in a wide range of applications.

	statics STATICS is Easy with Streaming Video!
		Since statics, mechanics of materials SI system of units is an absolute system based on the units of time, length, and mass, whereas the U.S. customary system is a gravitational system based on the units of time, length, and force, different approaches are required for the solution of many problems.
		In statics, they may involve the analysis of a structure for various configurations and loadings of statics, mechanics of materials structure, or the determination of the equilibrium positions of a given mechanism which may require an iterative method of solution.
		Statics is the study of the conditions under which mechanical and other systems remain in a configuration ("state") which does not change with time.

	Comparative statics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Comparative statics is the comparison of two different equilibrium states, before and after a change in one of the variables.
		Being a study of statics it compares two different unchanging points, once they have changed.
		It is one of the primary analytical methods used in economics, where it is very commonly used in the study of changes in supply and demand when analyzing a market.

	Describing CS Wiz
		For example, an individual demand curve is derived from a comparative statics exercise on the consumer's optimization problem (maximization of utility subject to a budget constraint).
		To analyze the comparative statics properties of the model, the numerical value of a single exogenous variable can be changed and the problem resolved.
		Comparative statics analysis is completed by simply comparing the initial and new values of the endogenous variable.

	Comparative Statics Analysis in Economics
		Comparative Statics is the determination of the changes in the endogenous variables of a model that that will reusult from a change in the exogenous variables or parameters of that model.
		A comparative statics analysis tells how the monopoly price would be affected by changes in the exogenous variables N and y and in the parameters F and c.
		Thus in many cases comparative statics results can be established with the combined use of the first order and second order conditions.

		Introducing Shaping Structures: Statics, the first textbook to teach statics in the context of designing structural form.
		By Newton's second law, this situation implies that the net force and net torque (also known as motion) on every subsystem is zero, meaning that for every force bearing upon a member, there must be an equal and opposite force.
		Since the time of Paul Samuelson's Foundations of Economic Analysis (1947), the focus has been on "comparative statics", i.e., the comparison of one static equilibrium to another, with little or no discussion of the process of going between them --- except to note the exogenous changes that caused the movement.

	Equilibrium and Statics
		If an object is at rest and is in a state of equilibrium, then we would say that it is at "static equilibrium." "Static" means stationary or at rest.
		The above analysis of the forces acting upon an object in equilibrium is commonly used to analyze situations involving objects at static equilibrium.
		The most common application involves the analysis of the forces acting upon a sign that is at rest.

	Active Statics
		Active Statics is a set of eight highly interactive demonstrations that involve the user in experimentation with the relationship between structural form and forces.
		For maximum transparency and creative potential, these demonstrations are based on graphic statics, a body of techniques used by such masters as Antonio Gaudi, Gustave Eiffel, and Robert Maillart to create their structural masterpieces.
		These can be learned from Zalewski and Allen, Shaping Structures: Statics (New York, John Wiley and Sons, 1998, ISBN 0-471-16968-4), and from the companion CD-ROM lessons in graphic statics by Joseph Iano (New York, John Wiley and Sons, 1998, ISBN 0-471-28338-X).
