Statics is one of the most important and fundamental courses in
engineering mechanics. The objective of this book is to impart knowledge
of fundamental concepts and to gain skill of identifying, formulating
and solving engineering problems and also to apply concepts of statics
in solving real life problems.
The book starts with an introduction to mechanics and goes on to cover
concepts of statics like system of forces, equilibrium, analysis of
structures, centroid, moment of inertial, friction and stress - strain.
The topics are covered in an easy to understand manner. Since problem
solving is critical in engineering mechanics, the solutions to the
problems are given in a systematic and step-wise manner.
