General Principles
True or False

1 .       Static's deals with bodies that have constant velocity. 

 
 


2 .       Equilibrium means at rest or moving with constant velocity. 

 
 


3 .       A particle has a mass but its size can be neglected. 

 
 


4 .       The particles that compose a rigid body remain at a fixed distance from one another both before and after a load is applied. 

 
 


5 .       A concentrated force is assumed to act at a point on a body. 

 
 


6 .       A particle subjected to a system of forces will remain at rest provided the force system is balanced. 

 
 


7 .       The weight of a body remains constant regardless of its location. 

 
 


8 .       The SI system considers force to be a derived unit. 

 
 


9 .       A newton is equal to the force required to accelerate 1 kg at 9.81 m/s2

 
 


10 .       The prefix giga ( G ) indicates 109

 
 


11 .       The prefix mega ( M ) indicates 10-6

 
 


12 .       The unit ms is a milli-second. 

 
 


13 .       A milli-meter squared is written as mm2

 
 


14 .       It is satisfactory to write k µ s as an appropriate composite unit. 

 
 


15 .       The set of composite units s/kg are allowed. 

 
 


16 .       The accuracy of a number is indicated by the number of significant figures it contains. 

 
 


17 .       2.16 rounded off to two significant figures is 2.2. [Hint]

 
 


18 .       2.25 rounded off to two significant figures is 2.3. [Hint]

 
 


19 .       2.05 rounded off to two significant figures is 2.0. [Hint]

 
 


20 .       2.35 rounded off to two significant figures is 2.4. [Hint]
