A body is said to be "free" when it is singled out from other bodies for the purposes of dynamic or static analysis. The object does not have to be "free" in the sense of being unforced, and it may or may not be in a state of equilibrium; rather, it is not fixed in place and is thus "free" to move in response to forces and torques it may experience.

Hertz solved the contact problem in the absence of friction, for a simple geometry (curved surfaces with constant radii of curvature). Carter considered the rolling contact between a cylinder and a plane, as described above. A complete analytical solution is provided for the tangential traction.

The first nine blocks in the solution to the single-wide block-stacking problem with the overhangs indicated. In statics, the block-stacking problem (sometimes known as The Leaning Tower of Lire (Johnson 1955), also the book-stacking problem, or a number of other similar terms) is a puzzle concerning the stacking of blocks at the edge of a table.
The angle of friction, [7] also sometimes called the angle of repose, [8] is the maximum angle at which a load can rest motionless on an inclined plane due to friction without sliding down. This angle is equal to the arctangent of the coefficient of static friction μ s between the surfaces. [8]
From December 2012 to December 2012, if you bought shares in companies when Paul G. DePodesta joined the board, and sold them when he left, you would have a -2.4 percent return on your investment, compared to a -0.2 percent return from the S&P 500.
Martin Gardner presents and discusses the problem [1] in his book of mathematical puzzles published in 1979 and cites references to it as early as 1895. The crossed ladders problem may appear in various forms, with variations in name, using various lengths and heights, or requesting unusual solutions such as cases where all values are integers.
