Book Overview

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 applie

Customer Reviews

Got this for an engineering course

This has some great explanations on engineering statics in the field of mechanics. This is great for mechanical, industrial, and civil engineers. It has a good variety of problems, examples and solutions.

Great Shape

I got what I wanted when I wanted it. It was in great condition. No problems.

Good Statics and Dynamics Book

Although I never took either class, I would rate this a relatively good statics and dynamics book. This is not the type of book where you can "skim" through pages and learn the topics. It might be a tough read, but I still give it a high rating.

Excelent book

I had a very poor teacher, without this book and it's great examples I'm not so sure I would have even passed the class. I can honestly say I've learded the most from this one book than all of my other engineering coursed so far. I definately learned more from the book than I did from the instructor.

This is an excellent book!

This is the best book I have used in any engineering class. The text is clear and well-written, not long-winded or confusing. The book also contains many examples of each principle, fully worked out, along with a huge number of problems with the answers provided. This is a superb introductory test to mechanics.
