<br/><br/>Includes index. 
<br/><br/>Statics -- Introduction - Vectors -- Forces -- Systems of forces and moments -- Objects in equilibrium -- Structures in equilibrium -- Centroids and centers of mass -- Moments of inertia -- Friction -- Internal forces and moments -- Virtual work and potential energy -- Dynamics -- Introduction -- Motion of a point -- Force, mass and acceleration -- Energy methods -body dynamics -- Three-dimensional kinematics and dynamics of rigid bodies -- Vibrations. 
<br/><br/> While covering the basic principles of mechanics in an example-driven format, this innovative book emphasizes critical thinking by presenting the reader with engineering situations. Compelling photorealistic art, and a robust photograph program helps readers to connect visually to the topics discussed. Features strong coverage of FBDs and important ABET topics.
