เนื้อหาย่อ : The first book published in the Beer and Johnston series, Mechanics for Engineers: Statics is a scalar-based introductory statics text. It provides first-rate treatment of rigid bodies without vector mechanics. This new edition provides an extensive selection of new problems and end-of-chapter summaries. The text brings the careful presentation of content, unmatched levels of accuracy, and attention to detail that have made Beer and Johnston texts the standard for excellence in engineering mechanics education. Features ㆍ A clear separation of the mechanics of particles from the mechanics of rigid bodies, thus making it possible to consider simple practical applications at an early stage ond to postpone the introduction of more difficult concepts. ㆍAn emphasis on the importance of free-body diagrams, with force being distinguished from other elements of the free-body diagrams by using a lighter shade of blue. ㆍ Precision, accuracy, and mathematics at an accessible level for engineering courses. ㆍ A mathematics review section that helps students understand the basics of the scalar mathematics used in statics and dynamics. Sample problems that help students work through the solution of typical engineering problems and prepare them for the assigned chapter homework problems.
