Customer Reviews

great examples. Easily 5 stars when it comes to a school textbook. I would def. get the statics and dynamics version and save money in the long run.

Straight-forward step by step examples. You should have already had an introductory physics class before approaching this material. Statics typically requires university level physics I as a pre-req. Haven't covered the dynamics materials yet. I've yet to find a typo in worked examples or missing information from a problem, and I've worked an extensive number of the statics problems. Study the step-by-step examples, and you should be familiar with the basics of statics at a minimum. Enjoy.
