Engineering Mechanics: Statics 2nd Edition

The book came fast in great condition.However for students looking for the McGraw-Hill Connect Code that some instructors require to do homework for certain Engineering Physics: Statics courses, this book doesn't come with it.I was confused when I didn't receive the connect code, returned and requested another from Amazon, but it's simply not there.Didn't dock a star because the book is brand new, however, the description is misleading and should be fixed.Just a heads up for future buyers.

There are a lot of equation derivations and practice problems. Any engineering student knows how that goes. What I like particularly about this book is that at the end of each section is two or three practice problems worked out with full detail and explanation, to give the reader a typical example.

It was the correct book and edition, and it was in great condition!

It was exactly what I expected.

If your instructor/university requires you to get this book, I guess you don't have a choice! Sorry for you!If you are looking to buy this book to learn Statics, then forget it!I am a TA and I teach this course and tutor students almost every day. This is NOT written for sophomores. The language is terrible, wordings and drawings are confusing... this thing just sucks!Explanation of torques, moments, reaction forces & moments, free body diagrams and almost the entire chapters 3,4 & 5 (so far) are quite confusing to the students. The problems are another nightmare! You have to make several assumptions to solve them, and my students are only sophomores, they can't make these assumptions readily.Back when I took Statics, we had a different textbook from 1975, much easier and cheaper! Engineering Mechanics: Statics and DynamicsI'm NOT trying to promote it, but my point is to show how much education has become a business!

I purchased this book and expected it to come with the McGraw Hill Connect because the description mentions the McGraw Hill Connect. One week later, I received and opened the package to find out there was no online access code...VERY MISLEADING!!!

The book came in time, in very good condition. the book itself had excellent examples and i learned a lot from it.

I wish that the example problems didn't skip so many steps in the book. Other than the confusion of that, it's a great resource.
