In statics a particle and a rigid body are viewed as pretty much the same thing, and can be analysed with the same methods. Assuming that a particle is in equilibrium i.e. the sum of the forces and the moments are all zero, and that a rigid body is made up of particles, we know that if each particle of this body is in equilibrium (internal forces cancel each other out) then we can conclude that the body must therefore also be in equilibrium. The difference between these a particle and a body is we will usually find a particle in space without these so-called constraints, while a rigid body- a beam comes immediately to mind, is usually constrained in some or other manner, by either a pin or roller or any other way.

Static charges occur due to the buildup of which subatomic particle?

Electrons! (Although it is possible that some other charged particle is causing your static charge, electrons are the most likely culprit.)


What is the name of the charged particle that is involved in both static and current electricity?

The charged particle involved in both static and current electricity is the electron. It carries a negative charge and plays a crucial role in the movement of electrical energy in both scenarios.


What is the relationship between static friction and the coefficient of static friction, denoted as latex: mus?

The relationship between static friction and the coefficient of static friction (s) is that static friction is directly proportional to the coefficient of static friction. This means that the force of static friction acting on an object is determined by the coefficient of static friction between the object and the surface it is in contact with.

What is the difference between static charge and static electricity?

Static charge refers to the imbalance of electric charges on an object's surface, while static electricity is the result of the buildup of this static charge. Static electricity can manifest as phenomena such as sparks or shocks when the charges are discharged.

Differentiate between static and dynamic systems in linear system analysis?

If a system is static then it will be known as STATIC SYSTEM and if it is not static then its a common sense that it will be a DYNAMIC SYSTEM.
