Product Description
This best-selling book offers a concise and thorough presentation of engineering mechanics theory and application. The material is reinforced with numerous examples to illustrate principles and imaginative, well-illustrated problems of varying degrees of difficulty. The book is committed to developing its users' problem-solving skills and includes pedagogical features that have made Hibbeler synonymous with excellence in the field. Chapter topics cover general principles, force vectors, equilibrium of a particle, force system resultants, equilibrium of a rigid body, structural analysis, internal forces, friction, center of gravity and centroid, moments of inertia, virtual work, kinematics of a particle, kinetics of a particle: force and acceleration, kinetics of a particle: work and energy, kinetics of a particle: impulse and momentum, planar kinematics of a rigid body, planar kinetics of a rigid body: force and acceleration, planar kinetics of a rigid body: work and energy, planar kinetics of a rigid body: impulse and momentum, three-dimensional kinematics of a rigid body, three-dimensional kinetics of a rigid body, and vibrations. For individuals involved in the study of mechanical/civil/aeronautical engineering.

Reviews


Don't buy unless you have to!
This book is utter garbage! They show no work or explanations in the examples, or even in the solutions manual. The book goes like this: A really nice picture, then a formula without any numbers or explanation, then a numeric answer. I can't even figure out how to follow the solutions manual. The author has the most unique problem solving methods I have ever seen. My dynamics professor has given up on the book, as has the rest of my class. It is now just used as a book of homework problems. This will be the only book I sell back in my college career!

Still Waiting
I ordered this book about 2mths ago and still havenot recieved the book.

Bleh
I have never seen a textbook with such a sparse amount of explanation. Some of the sections are litterally a couple paragraphs, and they repeat themselves constantly. But they do a good amount of examples and have put a lot of effort into their illustrations. So, meh.

Overpriced>>No sol'n
Like the previous two reviews stated...the book is way overpriced and I had to buy a solution manual from Amazon.uk because apparently they dont sell it here?? If your teacher doesn't assign homework get a previous edition because the examples and explanation are the same...

Engineering Mechanics - Dynamic
I agreed with the previous response because the book is exactly the same as the 9th edition. The contents is the same as the 9th edition and the problem sets are 80% of whats in the 9th edition. The book is a rip off and it also contains ALL the same errors as it did in the past
