Continuing in the spirit of its successful previous editions, the ninth
edition of Beer, Johnston, Mazurek, and Cornwell's Vector Mechanics
for Engineers provides conceptually accurate and thorough
coverage together with a signifi cant refreshment of the exercise
sets and online delivery of homework problems to your students.
Nearly forty percent of the problems in the text are changed from
the previous edition. The Beer/Johnston textbooks introduced signifi
cant pedagogical innovations into engineering mechanics teaching.
The consistent, accurate problem-solving methodology gives
your students the best opportunity to learn statics and dynamics.
At the same time, the careful presentation of content, unmatched
levels of accuracy, and attention to detail have made these texts
the standard for excellence.
NEW TO THIS EDITION
v Thoroughly Refreshed Problem Set in the Ninth Edition. 40% of
the problems are updated from the previous edition.
v Online Homework specific to the text is provided. Many problems
are algorithmically-generated giving the instructor a wide array of
problems for assignment to students.

Plesha, Gray, and Costanzo’s Engineering Mechanics: Statics &
Dynamics presents the fundamental concepts clearly, in a modern
context using applications and pedagogical devices that connect with
today’s students. The text features a five-part problem-solving methodology
that is consistently used throughout all example problems.
This methodology helps students lay out the steps necessary to correct
problem-formulation and explains the steps needed to arrive at correct
and realistic solutions. Once students have fully mastered the basic
concepts, they are taught appropriate use of modern computational
tools where applicable. Further reinforcing the text's modern emphasis,
the authors have brought engineering design considerations into
selected problems where appropriate. This sensitizes students to the
fact that engineering problems do not have a single answer and many
different routes lead to a correct solution.
The first new mainstream text in engineering mechanics in nearly
twenty years, Plesha, Gray, and Costanzo’s Engineering Mechanics:
Statics and Dynamics will help your students learn this important
material efficiently and effectively.
FEATURES
v 5-Part Problem Solving Methodology used in all example problems.
A consistent problem-solving approach is used throughout. Each
example problem is solved using a "template" that helps students
effectively set up the problem and solve it correctly.
v Introduces Appropriate Use of Computational Tools. Fundamental
concepts are taught thoroughly, and the use of computational tools
is taught when appropriate.
v Appropriate Design Coverage. The authors have brought
engineering design considerations into selected problems where
applicable. This will sensitize students to the fact that engineering
problems do not have a single answer and many different routes lead
to a correct solution.
v Real World Examples, Problems, Applications, Photographs. All
the photographs, applications, examples are from the real world, so
that students will be able to identify circumstances that they encounter
in there daily lives.
v Online Homework features selected problems from the text and
algorithmically-generated problems that give the instructor a wide
array of homework assignment options.
