Engineering Mechanics: Combined Statics and Dynamics FROM THE PUBLISHER
This best-selling book offers a concise and thorough presentation of engineering mechanics theory and application. The material is reinforced with numerous examples to illustrate principles and imaginative, well-illustrated problems of varying degrees of difficulty. The book is committed to developing its users' problem-solving skills and includes pedagogical features that have made Hibbeler synonymous with excellence in the field. The Ninth Edition has been updated to offer insightful new problems, improved examples, and a stronger supplement package. Chapter topics cover general principles, force vectors, equilibrium of a particle, force system resultants, equilibrium of a rigid body, structural analysis, internal forces, friction, center of gravity and centroid, moments of inertia, virtual work, kinematics of a particle, kinetics of a particle: force and acceleration, kinetics of a particle: work and energy, kinetics of a particle: impulse and momentum, planar kinematics of a rigid body, planar kinetics of a rigid body: force and acceleration, planar kinetics of a rigid body: work and energy, planar kinetics of a rigid body: impulse and momentum, three-dimensional kinematics of a rigid body, three-dimensional kinetics of a rigid body, and vibrations. For individuals involved in the study of mechanical/civil/aeronautical engineering.

Booknews
Presents to the student the theory and applications of engineering mechanics. The author emphasizes the drawing of free-body diagrams and notes the importance of selecting an appropriate coordinate system and associated sign convention for vector components when the equations of mechanics are applied. Discussion of the subject areas of statics and dynamics covers such topics as the properties of a concurrent force system, the equilibrium and kinematics of a particle, and the planar motion of a rigid body.
