Features: This book is one of the most popular engineering mechanics series textbooks in the United States. It covers the fundamental concepts and principles of statics, with comprehensive content and simple, intuitive explanations that closely relate to real-world phenomena. The book progresses from basic to advanced topics, generally starting with particles, then moving to plane systems, and finally to spatial forces. It primarily includes fundamental principles and operations of forces, the characteristics of vectors and concurrent force systems and their applications in particle equilibrium analysis, concentrated and distributed forces, rigid body equilibrium, structural analysis, internal forces, friction, the center of gravity and center of mass of objects, moments of inertia, and the principle of virtual work, among other topics. For students studying engineering mechanics, these contents are essential to master and can lay a solid foundation for further advanced courses. For engineering professionals, this book is also an excellent reference.
