Engineering Mechanics: Statics excels in providing a clear and thorough presentation of the theory and application of engineering mechanics. It empowers you to succeed by drawing upon Professor Hibbeler's decades of everyday classroom experience and his knowledge of how students learn. The text is shaped by the comments and suggestions of hundreds of reviewers in the teaching profession, as well as many of the author’s students.

The 15th Edition features a large variety of problems, about 30% which are new, which involve practical applications to different fields of engineering.

For Combined Statics and Dynamics courses.

This edition of the highly respected and well-known book for Engineering Mechanics focuses on developing a solid understanding of basic principles rather than rote learning of specific methodologies. It covers fundamental principles instead of "cookbook" problem-solving, and has been refined to make it more readable. It includes over 500 new problems rigorously checked for accuracy. 

This book contains the most important formulas and more than 190 completely solved problems from Kinetics and Hydrodynamics. It provides engineering students material to improve their skills and helps to gain experience in solving engineering problems. Particular emphasis is placed on finding the solution path and formulating the basic equations. 

Topics include:
