Taking a comperhensive problem-approach,this volume of Engineering Mechanics covers the subject of statics with special reference to engineering applications. A particular feature of the text is the treatment of the concept of force: this treatment has developed from a recent research project in which the authors have been involved. Their clear and unambiguous style, exploring as it does all the conditions and limitations for the validity of principles and methods of application, will make this a crucial textbook for undergraduates starting courses in engineering mechanics.
