Engineering Mechanics – Statics, 8th Edition SI Version

“Known for its accuracy, clarity, and dependability, Meriam, Kraige, and Bolton’s Engineering Mechanics: Statics, 8th Edition has provided a solid foundation of mechanics principles for more than 60 years. This text continues to help students develop their problem-solving skills with an extensive variety of engaging problems related to engineering design. In addition to new homework problems, the text includes a number of helpful sample problems. To help students build necessary visualization and problem-solving skills, the text strongly emphasizes drawing free-body diagrams, one of the most important skills needed to solve mechanics problems. New to This Edition – Text has been thoroughly revised to maximize rigor, clarity, readability and approachability – Key Concepts throughout the book are especially marked and highlighted – Chapter Reviews at the end of each chapter are highlighted and provide itemized summaries of all key material – Approximately 50 percent of the homework problems are new to this eighth edition. All new problems have been independently solved in order to ensure a high degree of accuracy. – Sample Problems have been integrated throughout, including problems with computer-oriented solutions. – Answers to all problems listed in a special section at the very end of the book. – New photographs reinforce students understanding of how the concepts relate to the real world”
