Somewhat Hard

A very good book on static mechanics. The problems seem hard at first but remembering sigma Fx = 0, sigma Fy = 0, sigma Fz=0, you'll be fine. This book is easier if you know basic college physics topics aka moments, forces, vectors, etc. This is recommended for mechanical and civil engineers. This book is being utilized at Northeastern University.
