2.4 - Statics Summary As stated earlier, this is a very brief introduction into the concepts of statics. We presented only the features that might shed some light on the biomechanics presented in this website. A full discussion of this topic would be prohibitively long for this website. The basic principle of statics is - In a static or stationary body, all forces must be balanced in all directions. For an archer, this means, if all forces are directly aligned, there are no adverse lateral forces. However, if any angles exist, between the Bow’s line of force and the Archer’s force, this will create an adverse lateral force, and additional body forces must be applied to support and balance these angles. |
