The first of two volumes, this book discusses statics and explains the laws of rigid bodies. It deals with stationary forces and explains how a free body diagram best describes a body in equilibrium. Furthermore the book discusses how to solve various levels of problems on statics using these diagrams, enabling students to build a strong base before moving onto a higher course ER -
