Know which forces to draw, which equations to use, and how to check your answer.
A correct number is only part of a statics solution. You also need a clear free-body diagram, defensible assumptions, consistent signs, and a result that makes physical sense.
Engineering Statics: A Visual Guide with 200 Fully Worked Problems by Nathan S. Calder helps you build that complete reasoning process. Across 418 pages and 10 chapters, each numbered problem is followed by a fully worked solution, so you can attempt the question first and then compare your method step by step.
Model. Solve. Check. This repeatable approach connects the engineering picture to the mathematics:
- Model: use a labelled schematic diagram, a focused concept lesson, and explicit assumptions to identify the isolated body, loads, supports, and unknowns.
- Solve: follow the equilibrium relationships, substitutions, calculations, and final result rather than jumping straight to an answer.
- Check: examine units, directions, force and moment balance, and physical admissibility. Learn why a negative component can be valid while a negative cable tension can reveal a failed assumption.
- Transfer: finish with a question that changes the situation and prompts you to apply the underlying idea again.
Build skills across the core topics of engineering mechanics:
- Force vectors, components, moments, couples, and equivalent systems
- Particle equilibrium, rigid-body equilibrium, and support reactions
- Truss analysis, frames, and machines
- Distributed loads, centroids, and centers of gravity
- Internal forces, shear-force diagrams, and bending-moment diagrams
- Friction, contact conditions, tipping, and area moments of inertia
What makes this guide useful for practice? It combines 200 original problem diagrams with complete solution sequences, analytical shear and moment plots, and quick-reference relationships. Related problems vary geometry, force direction, loading, or admissibility, helping you practise the method beyond a single numerical example.
Written for first-year engineering students, mechanical and civil engineering learners, and independent students with basic algebra and trigonometry. Use it alongside your course, for structured self-study, or to revisit difficult topics before an examination. Integral-based sections explain what the mathematical element represents before evaluating it.
Make your next study session count: attempt the problem, follow the reasoning, and learn how to defend the result.

Right of withdrawal
If you are a consumer you can withdraw from the contract in accordance with the following. Consumer means any natural person who is acting for purposes which are outside his trade, business, craft or profession.
Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to California Books, Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
