Title overview

Engineering Mechanics: Statics, 15th Edition is the statics textbook that engineering programs build on. Drawing upon his decades of classroom experience and his knowledge of how students learn, author Russell Hibbeler provides highly visual methodical applications to help you conceptualize and master difficult concepts.

This textbook shows you how to draw correct free-body diagrams, set up and solve equilibrium problems systematically, and build a foundation for success in dynamics and mechanics of materials. The authors explain force vectors; equilibrium of both a particle and a rigid body; force system resultants; and structural analysis of trusses, frames, and machines. They also cover internal forces; friction; center of gravity and centroid; moments of inertia; and virtual work.

The 15th Edition features a large variety of problems, about 30% which are new, which involve practical applications to different fields of engineering.

If you are not using Mastering Engineering, you can purchase access to the videos that accompany this title.
