ABSTRACT

Space statics is concerned with the equilibrium of forces in a three-dimensional space. The basic concepts are as given in Sections 1.2 and 1.3. That is, in the general case of a number of forces P1, P2 ... Pn and a number of moments m1, m2, ... mm acting in space, as shown in Fig. 1.3-1, the resultant force R is given in magnitude and direction by
