This text is concerned with the mechanics of rigid and deformable solids in equilibrium. It has been prepared by members of the Mechanical Engineering Department at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology for use as a text in the first course in applied mechanics. The central aim has been to treat this subject as an engineering science. To this end the authors have clearly identified three fundamental physical considerations which govern the mechanics of solids in equilibrium, and all discussion and theoretical development has been related to these basic considerations.

This text is based on the understanding and application of three fundamental physical consideration which govern the mechanics of solids in equilibrium. All the discussion and theoretical development is explicitly related to these three basic considerations. This approach brings in unity to an elementary presentation of the subject. It puts considerable emphasis has been put on the process of constructing idealized models to represent actual physical situations.
