According to WikiPedia
●Statics is the branch of mechanicsbranch of mechanics that is
concerned with the analysis of loadsanalysis of loads (force
and torque, or "moment") on physical systems
in static equilibriumin static equilibrium, that is, in a state where
the relative positions of subsystems do not do not
vary over timevary over time, or where components and
structures are at a constant velocityconstant velocity.
●When in static equilibrium, the system is either
at rest, or its center of mass moves at constant
velocity.
