Engineering Mechanics: Statics
The book is divided into 11 chapters, in which the principles are first applied to
simple, then to more complicated situations. In a general sense, each principle is
applied first to a particle, then a rigid body subjected to a coplanar system of forces,
and finally to three-dimensional force systems acting on a rigid body.
Chapter 1 begins with an introduction to mechanics and a discussion of units. The
vector properties of a concurrent force system are introduced in Chapter 2. This
theory is then applied to the equilibrium of a particle in Chapter 3. Chapter 4 contains
a general discussion of both concentrated and distributed force systems and the
methods used to simplify them. The principles of rigid-body equilibrium are
developed in Chapter 5 and then applied to specific problems involving the
equilibrium of trusses, frames, and machines in Chapter 6, and to the analysis of
internal forces in beams and cables in Chapter 7. Applications to problems involving
frictional forces are discussed in Chapter 8, and topics related to the center of gravity
and centroid are treated in Chapter 9. If time permits, sections involving more
advanced topics, indicated by stars, may be covered. Most of these topics are
included in Chapter 10 (area and mass moments of inertia) and Chapter 11 (virtual
work and potential energy). Note that this material also provides a suitable reference
for basic principles when it is discussed in more advanced courses. Finally, Appendix
A provides a review and list of mathematical formulas needed to solve the problems
in the book.
