Vector Mechanics For Engineers: Statics, 11th Edition
Download Free (EPUB, PDF)

A primary objective in a first course in mechanics is to help develop a student's ability first to analyze problems in a simple and logical manner, and then to apply basic principles to their solutions. A strong conceptual understanding of these basic mechanics principles is essential for successfully solving mechanics problems. This edition of Vector Mechanics for Engineers will help instructors achieve these goals. Continuing in the spirit of its successful previous editions, this edition provides conceptually accurate and thorough coverage together with a significant refreshment of the exercise sets and online delivery of homework problems to your students. This edition has undergone a complete rewrite to modernize and streamline the language through the text. Over 650 of the homework problems in the text are new or revised. One of the characteristics of the approach used in this book is that mechanics of particles is clearly separated from the mechanics of rigid bodies. This approach makes it possible to consider simple practical applications at an early stage and to postpone the introduction of the more difficult concepts.McGraw-Hill Education's Connect, is also available as an optional, add on item. Connect is the only integrated learning system that empowers students by continuously adapting to deliver precisely what they need, when they need it, how they need it, so that class time is more effective. Connect allows the professor to assign homework, quizzes, and tests easily and automatically grades and records the scores of the student's work. Problems are randomized to prevent sharing of answers an may also have a "multi-step solution" which helps move the students' learning along if they experience difficulty.

I don't like the style of this book. They try to add colors to pages and stuff, but I like my pages white. My professor chose this one for his class, so I had to get it. The book itself has a lot of errors in the answers, which should be taken care of before publishing an 11th edition...

The books is great if you like reading and learning the concepts. Some solutions do not provide enough explanations and some answers are wrong but all in all its a good book to learn statics when you are trying to learn it on your own.

Everything I ever wanted and good price, screw the book store. This is a much better option!

Great book. Helpful and fortunately teaxher relies on it heavily

Cheap and it was the current edition!!! I'm happy

Fantastic Book and very affordable rental.

Good book an improvement.
