Engineering Mechanics: Statics

Front Cover
Prentice Hall, 2010 - Science - 655 pages
In his substantial revision of Engineering Mechanics, R.C. Hibbeler empowers students to succeed in the whole learning experience. Hibbeler achieves this by calling on his everyday classroom experience and his knowledge of how students learn inside and outside of lecture.

In addition to over 50% new homework problems, the twelfth edition introduces the new elements ofConceptual Problems, Fundamental Problems and MasteringEngineering, the most technologically advanced online tutorial and homework system.
