Features: This book is written based on the basic requirements of the theoretical mechanics course for higher industrial schools. It is part of the Engineering Mechanics section of the "Theoretical Mechanics" series for the national basic mechanics teaching base. The book consists of six chapters, covering fundamental concepts and axioms of statics, the simplification, composition, and equilibrium of force systems, and equilibrium problems with friction. The book emphasizes the thinking and methods for analyzing and solving problems, making it suitable for classroom teaching. It can be used as a textbook for theoretical mechanics courses in majors such as mechanical engineering, aerospace, navigation, civil engineering, electromechanical, and power in higher industrial schools. It is also available for reference by students in evening universities, correspondence universities, and related engineering professionals. For non-rigid bodies, the applicability of this axiom is limited. For example, a soft rope can be in equilibrium when subjected to two equal and opposite pulling forces, but it cannot remain balanced if compressed. Therefore, the necessary and sufficient conditions for the equilibrium of rigid bodies are only necessary, not necessarily sufficient, for deformable bodies.
