Known for its accuracy, clarity, and dependability, Meriam, Kraige, and Bolton's Engineering Mechanics: Statics has provided a solid foundation of mechanics principles for more than 60 years. Now in its eighth edition, the text continues to help students develop their problem-solving skills with an extensive variety of engaging problems related to engineering design. In addition to new homework problems, the text includes a number of helpful sample problems. To help students build necessary visualization and problem-solving skills, the text strongly emphasizes drawing free-body diagrams - one of the most important skills needed to solve mechanics problems.

The revision of this classic text continues to provide the same high quality material seen in previous editions. In addition, the fifth edition provides extensively rewritten, updated prose for content clarity, superb new problems in new application areas, outstanding instruction on drawing free body diagrams, and new electronic supplements to assist learning and instruction. If you think you have seen Meriam & Kraige before, take another look: it's not what you remember it to be? it's better! * Web-based problem solving (eGrade) gives students opportunity to practice solving problems, with immediate feedback. * Computational mechanics booklets offer flexibility in introducing Matlab, MathCAD, and/or Maple into your mechanics classroom * Electronic figures from the text allow you to enhance your lectures by pulling material from the text into your Powerpoint or other lecture formats * 100+ additional electronic transparencies offer problem statements and fully worked solutions for use in lecture or as outside study tools for students.
