For Statics Courses. A Proven Approach to Conceptual Understanding and Problem-solving Skills Engineering Statics excels in providing a clear and thorough presentation of the theory and application of engineering mechanics. Engineering Mechanics empowers students to succeed by drawing upon Professor Hibbeler’s everyday classroom experience and his knowledge of how students learn. This 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 Fourteenth Edition includes new Preliminary Problems, which are intended to help students develop conceptual understanding and build problem-solving skills. The text features a large variety of problems from a broad range of engineering disciplines, stressing practical, realistic situations encountered in professional practice, and having varying levels of difficulty. Also Available with Mastering Engineering -- an online homework, tutorial, and assessment program designed to work with this text to engage students and improve results. Interactive, self-paced tutorials provide individualized coaching to help students stay on track. With a wide range of activities available, students can actively learn, understand, and retain even the most difficult concepts. The text and MasteringEngineering work together to guide students through engineering concepts with a multi-step approach to problems.

I didn't read the chapters of this book so thoroughly, but the question bank of this book is very extensive and consists good problems. Completed a summer assignment from this book consisting of more than a 100 questions for my Engineering Mechanics assignment in my first year of BE.
لم أر كتابًا يجمع الدسامة واللذّة كما يجمعها هذا الكتاب ولو كان الأمر بيدي لجعلته مقرّرًا في الثانويّة لكلّ الشعب لأنّه مرحلة متقدّمة وذكيّة من الفيزياء
أحبّ مراجعة أمثلته بين الحين والآخر
تعرّفت عليه في كلّيّة الهندسة وبقيت العلاقة إلى اليوم
As far as I know, this is the best textbook to use for learning statics. Quite a few foundational concepts are just lightly touched upon, likely because the authors assume you've been exposed to them before.
It helped me to understand the basics of statics, however, the explanation is often quite hard to follow and you need a lot of other background information that the book just expects you to know.
While not the easiest read, it's arguably the most effective statics textbook available. The author's approach of building concepts systematically makes even complex topics digestible. However, it demands dedication - you can't just skim through it. Worth noting: The homework problems are particularly well-crafted, ranging from straightforward to challengingly complex. This gradual progression is invaluable for building confidence and competence.
It is actually for civil engineering. I am mechanical engineer and I was bored while I was studying it. The auditors of the book are also civil engineer.
