Engineering Mechanics: Statics, 9th Edition is an engineering textbook designed to establish core principles of mechanics for students. The presentation helps learners build problem-solving skills through a wide variety of exercises related to engineering design.

Core subject coverage centers on two- and three-dimensional force systems, conditions of static equilibrium, and structural analysis. The textbook also explores distributed forces and the action of friction across physical bodies and mechanical components.

To support visualization and analytical problem-solving, the text places a primary emphasis on drawing free-body diagrams. Isolating systems and diagramming forces are presented as essential techniques for working through practical mechanics problems.
