Known for its accuracy, clarity, and dependability, Meriam and Kraige's Engineering Mechanics: Statics
has provided a solid foundation of mechanics principles for more than
60 years. Now in its seventh edition, the text continues to help
students develop their problem-solving skills with an extensive variety
of engaging problems related to engineering design. More than 50% of the
homework problems are new, and there are also a number of new sample
problems. To help students build necessary visualization and
problem-solving skills, the text strongly emphasizes drawing free-body
diagrams-the most important skill needed to solve mechanics problems.
