Summary

Over the past 50 years, Meriam & Kraige's Engineering Mechanics has established a highly respected tradition of excellence. Readers turn to this book because of its emphasis on accuracy, rigor, clarity, and applications. The new sixth edition continues this tradition while also improving the accessibility of the material. The explanations of concepts are now easier to understand and more worked examples have been incorporated throughout the pages.
