For introductory dynamics courses found in mechanical engineering, civil engineering, aeronautical engineering, and engineering mechanics departments.

This best-selling text offers a concise and thorough presentation of engineering mechanics theory and application. The material is reinforced with numerous examples to illustrate principles and imaginative, well-illustrated problems of varying degrees of difficulty. The text is committed to developing students' problem-solving skills and includes pedagogical features that have made Hibbeler synonymous with excellence in the field. The Ninth Edition has been updated to offer insightful new problems, improved examples, and a stronger supplement package.

Features

• NEW�Optional MATLAB and MathCAD worksheets online at Hibbeler Website.
• NEW�Course Management Option. WebCT, Blackboard, and Course Compass classes available� Features extensive Statics and Dynamics the Next Generation resources that help encourage "active learning" in the class.
• Statics and Dynamics Study Pack�Contains Free Body Diagram Workbook, Working Model CD-ROMs for Statics and Dynamics, and Drill Website containing practice problems with full solutions.

Workbooks�Two 100 page workbooks that step students through numerous free body diagram problems. Full explanations and solutions are provided.
CD-ROMs�Working Model Based CD-ROMs that help students better understand concepts in Dynamics. Contains over 120 simulations of examples in Hibbeler's Statics and Dynamics texts. Simulations are tied directly to examples in the book by number, and use actual art from the book to provide a one to one correlation between book and CD. Students do not need to know how to program working model. All simulations are preset, and students can experiment with them by simply adjusting sliders that change values. For more experienced users, all functions of Working Model are available except the Save function.
Website�Password protected website that provides over 1000 statics/dynamics problems with solutions. Solutions contain both math and associated free body diagrams. Students can use these for practice before quizzes and tests, as well as self-drill. Password for the site is listed on the inside cover of the Study Pack workbook.

• Presentation CD-ROM�Contains PowerPoint slides and pdf files of many figures in the text for easy creation of electronic presentations.
• Photos�Added in the margins to more explicitly show the connection between physical situations and their mathematical abstractions.
• Design oriented problems�Integrated throughout.
• Fundamentals of engineering problems�Integrated throughout.

Helps students prepare for the PE exam.

• Art program�Enhanced with time-elapsed illustrations to more effectively simulate motion.
• Wealth of diverse, well-illustrated problem sets that are innovatively organized�Features a large variety of problem types from a broad range of engineering disciplines, stressing practical, realistic situations encountered in professional practice, varying levels of difficulty, and problems that involve solution by computer.
• The drawing of free-body diagrams�Emphasized throughout the text.
• Procedures for Analysis sections�Integrated to provide students with a logical and orderly method for applying theory.
• Numerous, well-chosen examples�Illustrate the application of fundamental theory to practical engineering problems.
