This document discusses static equilibrium and elasticity. It provides definitions and concepts related to:
- Static equilibrium, which refers to when an object is at rest with zero velocity and angular velocity.
- Elasticity and how objects deform under load but return to their original shape when unloaded. Elastic constants are defined for different deformation types.
- Three main types of elastic moduli - Young's, shear, and bulk - which relate the stress and strain for different deformation types like tension, shear, and changes in volume. Various materials have different moduli depending on their properties.
