It includes the study of forces on bodies at rest, vector algebra, resultant of force systems, analysis of force systems in equilibrium, free-body diagrams, statically indeterminant systems, distributed loads, internal forces, application to trusses, frames and beams, friction, centroids, moments of inertia, and the method of virtual work.
