Engineering Mechanics: Statics (book)

Engineering Mechanics: Statics is a foundational textbook that explores how forces affect objects at rest. It explains how to analyze and determine the forces acting on structures like bridges, beams, and buildings to ensure they remain stable and safe. The book covers concepts such as equilibrium, force vectors, moments, and support reactions, providing the tools to design and assess static structures. Its clear explanations and practical examples help students and engineers understand how to balance forces and prevent structural failure, forming the basis for more advanced engineering principles.
