Due to the importance of engineering mechanics and its applications in many engineering disciplines, it is a part of common engineering curricula. The contents of this volume have been developed to match the syllabi of major universities. This treatise is organized to provide the basic concepts in the initial chapters; advancing to subsequent application of these concepts to a variety ofsituations encountered in engineering problem solving.The architecture of the volume makes it a self-sufficient introduction to the subject. The book begins with an introduction to basic building blocks of this subject, such as units, system of units of force and force systems. Representation, interaction and concatenation of forces in the Cartesian space are also dealt with. Concept of planar forces is developed through concurrent and non-concurrent forces in chapters 2 and 3. These chapters demonstrate articulation of forces and force systems to resolve forces, to work out resultants, and equilibrium conditions through free body diagrams.The concept and articulation of moments and couples is developed through forces and force systems. Forces and moments are further related to real applications by introducing beams and loading of beams.
