From Book News, Inc.
New edition of a standard text first published in 1962. Designed for a first course in statics, it emphasizes an understanding of the principles of mechanics and their application to solving engineering problems. Topics include statics of particles, rigid bodies, centroids and centers of gravity, analysis of structures, forces in beams and cables, friction, moments of inertia, and method of virtual work. Sample and assigned problems are given, and interactive software (IBM; Windows) is included. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
Book Description
***Book is published and available as of 6/03!!!
For the past forty years Beer and Johnston have been the uncontested leaders in the teaching of undergraduate engineering mechanics. Over the years their textbooks have introduced significant theoretical and pedagogical innovations in statics, dynamics, and mechanics of materials education. At the same time, their careful presentation of content, unmatched levels of accuracy, and attention to detail have made their texts the standard for excellence. The new Seventh Edition of Vector Mechanics for Engineers: Statics continues this tradition.
