Some basic topics to review,
The basic topics of statics that should be well understood are,
- applied/reaction forces
- free body diagrams/rigid body assumption
- force components in 2D and 3D
- moment components in 2D and 3D
- equilibrium of forces and moments
- two and three force members
- friction dry static, velocity
- mass properties - center of mass, centroids
- moments and product of inertia, polar moment of inertia
