Introduction:
With this work, we will learn to solve different static exercises.
with different types of problems and solutions, this is clear for the
resolution of systems of forces in equilibrium of forces or in objects without
movement, moreover for this type of exercises they will be resolved through the
calculation of the moment at a specific point and the calculation of the force, and in
some of these problems will be solved with the help of vectors
the moments and the forces.

Conclusion:
Well, in conclusion, I think it is quite important to work with the
moment and the forces in equilibrium, in addition to being much simpler to
work that the other topics, in this we see how many of the
mechanisms in real life, and how restrictions are imposed on objects, to
achieve the movement and in general the reactions we need for different
cases, of course all this does not take friction into account, but it is a
simple way to do all these calculations.
