    Engineering Mechanics: Statics provides students with a solid foundation of mechanics principles. This product helps students develop their problem–solving skills with an extensive variety of engaging problems related to engineering design. To help students build necessary visualization and problem–solving skills, a strong emphasis is placed on drawing free–body diagrams, the most important skill needed to solve mechanics problems.
    In Chapter 1, the fundamental concepts necessary for the study of mechanics are established.

    In Chapter 2, the properties of forces, moments, couples, and resultants are developed so that the student may proceed directly to the equilibrium of non-concurrent force systems in Chapter 3 without unnecessarily belaboring the relatively trivial problem of the equilibrium of concurrent forces acting on a particle.

    In both Chapters 2 and 3, analysis of two-dimensional problems is presented in Section A before three-dimensional problems are treated in Section B. With this arrangement, the instructor may cover all of Chapter 2 before beginning Chapter 3 on equilibrium, or the instructor may cover the two chapters in the order 2A, 3A, 2B, 3B. The latter order treats force systems and equilibrium in two dimensions and then treats these topics in three dimensions.
    Application of equilibrium principles to simple trusses and to frames and machines is presented in Chapter 4 with primary attention given to two-dimensional systems. A sufficient number of three-dimensional examples are included, however, to enable students to exercise more general vector tools of analysis. The concepts and categories of distributed forces are introduced at the beginning of.

    Chapter 5, with the balance of the chapter divided into two main sections. Section A treats centroids and mass centers; detailed examples are presented to help students master early applications of calculus to physical and geometrical problems. Section B includes the special topics of beams, flexible cables, and fluid forces, which may be omitted without loss of continuity of basic concepts.
    Chapter 6 on friction is divided into Section A on the phenomenon of dry friction and Section B on selected machine applications. Although Section B may be omitted if time is limited, this material does provide a valuable experience for the student in dealing with both concentrated and distributed friction forces.


    Chapter 7 presents a consolidated introduction to virtual work with applications limited to single-degree-of-freedom systems. Special emphasis is placed on the advantage of the virtual-work and energy method for interconnected systems and stability determination. Virtual work provides an excellent opportunity to convince the student of the power of
    mathematical analysis in mechanics. Moments and products of inertia of areas are presented in Appendix A. This topic helps to bridge the subjects of statics and solid mechanics. Appendix C contains a summary review of selected topics of elementary mathematics as well as several numerical techniques which the student should be prepared to use in computer-solved problems. Useful tables of physical constants, centroids, and moments of inertia are contained in Appendix D.
