Apie šią el. knygą
first year students taking a degree or diploma in engineering. Its main objective is to
provide simple and friendly techniques necessary in the learning of Statics. Focus is
placed on the application of basic algebra, trigonometry and elementary calculus to
solve problems with extra emphasis on the Free Body Diagram.
The following are some distinctive features of this book:
Rigorous and detailed approach to solve resultant and equilibrium of particles.
Emphasis on the techniques of drawing Free Body Diagrams.
Thoroughly cover the moment equation to solve problems comprising statics of
rigid bodies.
Addressing various effective techniques to tackle analysis of structure problems.
Friction topics, centroids and centre of gravities of two and three dimensional
composite bodies are also included.
It is hoped that this effort, which is an attempt to guide students through a learning
experience in an effective manner, will be appreciated by both lecturers and students.
Any comments and suggestions for improvement are welcome and InsyaAllah will be
incorporated in the next edition. The countless prior comments and suggestions made
by our colleagues and students are acknowledged and highly appreciated.
