    This document outlines the key concepts, tools, procedures, and examples for the topic of statics. It discusses concepts such as forces, moments, equilibrium, trusses, and friction. Tools include free body diagrams, vector operations, and equations for resultant forces and moments. The procedures involve defining a mechanical system, drawing free body diagrams, constructing equations, and manipulating the equations. Examples will be selected based on requests and sample exam problems.
