Ebook Engineering Mechanics (Volume 1: Statics): Part 1

(BQ) Ebook Engineering Mechanics (Volume 1: Statics): Part 1 presents the following content: In Chapter 1, the fundamental concepts necessary for the study of mechanics are established. In Chapter 2, the properties of forces, moments, couples, and resultants are developed so that the student may proceed directly to the equilibrium of nonconcurrent force systems in Chapter 3 without unnecessarily belaboring the relatively trivial problem of the equilibrium of concurrent forces acting on a particle. Application of equilibrium principles to simple trusses and to frames and machines is presented in Chapter 4 with primary attention given to two-dimensional systems.
