This handy book serves as an introduction to the course of Statics and is intended forfirst year students taking a degree or diploma in engineering. Its main objective is toprovide simple and friendly techniques necessary in the learning of Statics. Focus isplaced on the application of basic algebra, trigonometry and elementary calculus tosolve problems with extra emphasis on the Free Body Diagram.The following are some distinctive features of this book: Rigorous and detailed approach to solve resultant and equilibrium of particles. Emphasis on the techniques of drawing Free Body Diagrams. Thoroughly cover the moment equation to solve problems comprising statics ofrigid bodies. Addressing various effective techniques to tackle analysis of structure problems. Friction topics, centroids and centre of gravities of two and three dimensionalcomposite bodies are also included.It is hoped that this effort, which is an attempt to guide students through a learningexperience in an effective manner, will be appreciated by both lecturers and students.Any comments and suggestions for improvement are welcome and InsyaAllah will beincorporated in the next edition.
