Engineering Mechanics: Statics

From Book News, Inc.
A text for an introductory mechanics course in undergraduate engineering programs, for students with background in algebra, geometry, trigonometry, calculus, and vector algebra. Chapters on general principles, concurrent force systems, statics of particles, internal forces, friction, and virtual work emphasize engineering and mathematical methods of analysis, and feature numerous color free-body diagrams, conceptual examples, worked problem examples, homework problems rated by difficulty, and computer problems. Includes an appendix on vector operations. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.


Book Description
These exciting books use full-color, and interesting, realistic illustrations to enhance reader comprehension. Also include a large number of worked examples that provide a good balance between initial, confidence building problems and more advanced level problems. Fundamental principles for solving problems are emphasized throughout.

Offers a refreshing approach to mechanics through a careful, step-by-step development of basic concepts. Exceptional, full-color art gives clarity and realism to the illustrations. Greater emphasis on free body diagrams provides a strong foundation. Covers moments of inertia and internal distribution extensively. Introduces distributed loads early for use in all subsequent rigid body equilibrium chapters, offering greater flexibility in the types of loads that can be applied to rigid bodies.
