Features: This book is one of the "New Century Higher Vocational and Technical Series Textbooks for Civil Engineering," written based on the fundamental teaching requirements for mechanics courses in civil engineering majors formulated by the Ministry of Education. The book focuses on reflecting the characteristics of current higher vocational and technical teaching reform, highlighting its targeted, applicable, and practical nature. During the writing process, attention was paid to selecting content carefully, simplifying formula derivations, linking theory with practice, and emphasizing engineering applications. The text is concise, with clear and easy-to-understand explanations, closely integrated with illustrations. The book is divided into twelve chapters, covering: Introduction, Basic Concepts of Statics, Force Analysis and Free-Body Diagrams of Objects, Plane Force Systems, Spatial Force Systems, Motion of Points, Basic Motion of Rigid Bodies, Plane Motion of Rigid Bodies, Differential Equations of Motion for Particles and Rigid Bodies, Theorem of Kinetic Energy, D'Alembert's Principle, and Virtual Work Principle. After the main chapters, there are review questions and exercises, with answers provided.
