Statics, Including Hydrostatics and the Elements of the Theory of Elasticity (Classic Reprint) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Foundations of Statics and Hydrostatics offers a clear, practical path through the core ideas of force, pressure, and equilibrium.

This classic text introduces vector methods and the foundations of statics, then builds toward the analysis of rigid bodies, fluids, and structural systems. It emphasizes practical tools and graphical techniques you can apply directly to real problems. The book covers how forces combine and balance, how to model mass and motion in three dimensions, and how fluids behave under gravity, pressure, and buoyancy. You’ll learn through concise explanations, worked examples, and a broad range of applied topics—from frames and beams to the pressure of liquids and the stability of floating bodies. The material is structured to support both study and applied problem solving in engineering and physics contexts.

• Vector theory and geometric methods to simplify force analysis
• Statics of particles, planes, frames, and connected structures
• Graphical statics, funicular polygons, and reciprocal figures
• Mass systems, centers of mass, and moments of inertia
• Fluid pressure, hydrostatics, buoyancy, and floating bodies
