The principles of statics and dynamics are applied in order to understand and describe the behaviour of bodies in motion, displaying engineering mechanics principles and supported with worked examples. Many in-text examples develop important concepts in statics using easily-visualized, commonplace objects and systems. The text is supported by more than 1600 illustrative figures that help students understand the ideas being presented. Problem sets including computer problems cover a range of difficulty from routine to challenging. In addition, a new ancillary package of plastic models and model problems provides more opportunities for investigating mechanical behaviour.

History & Philosophy

McGill and King stress engineering mechanics principles, and support their concept-driven approach with a wealth of worked examples illustrating how the principles of Statics may be applied to understand the behavior of rigid bodies at rest or in equilibrium. Literally hundreds of in-text examples develop important concepts in Statics using easily-visualized, commonplace objects and systems. The text is supported by more than 1,600 illustrative figures that help students understand the ideas being presented. All problem sets have been extensively revised for the Third Edition, including the computer problems, to provide students and instructors with an almost inexhaustible source of exercises covering a range of difficulty from routine to challenging. In addition, a new ancillary package of plastic Models and Model Problems provides even more opportunities for investigating mechanical behavior.
