Statics, 4th Ed.

David J. McGill and Wilton W. King Statics is the first book in a two-volume set on basic mechanics. This is a text for standard courses in statics.Features Include:• Separate section on the Free-Body Diagram• Physical meaning of moment of a force about a line developed and displayed• Equilibrium used to motivate equipollence• Equilibrium analysis• Brief section on mechanics of deformable bodies allows discussion of static indeterminacy• Special topics chapter on virtual work, and hydrostatic pressure on submerged bodies• Appendices on vectors, moments and products of inertia of areas, and equilibrium: a body and its parts
