Physics books for (elasticity - hydraustatics)

AI Thread Summary
For comprehensive coverage of elasticity and hydrostatics, users recommend Landau and Lifgarbagez for elasticity due to their clear writing style. The discussion highlights the need for a physics reference that delves deeper into surface tension and related topics, which are not adequately covered in Serway's text. Participants express a desire for books that provide extensive explanations similar to those found in Serway's discussions on motion and electromagnetism. Suggestions for alternative resources are encouraged to fill these gaps in understanding. Overall, the search is for more detailed and accessible physics literature on these specific topics.

Can I find a physics reference for these three topics ??

I have Serway but it just mentions elasticity in a short form which is not so good and has no thing about surfacetention - bubbles , what book could have theese topics in an extended form , Just as serway explains motion and electricity and magnetism for example ??

Landau and Lifgarbagez have a book on elasticity, I find their style of writing much better than most.
 

Thread '1:1 versus 2:1 Mechanical Advantage debate'

The rope is tied into the person (the load of 200 pounds) and the rope goes up from the person to a fixed pulley and back down to his hands. He hauls the rope to suspend himself in the air. What is the mechanical advantage of the system? The person will indeed only have to lift half of his body weight (roughly 100 pounds) because he now lessened the load by that same amount. This APPEARS to be a 2:1 because he can hold himself with half the force, but my question is: is that mechanical...

Thread 'Newton's first law?'

Some physics textbook writer told me that Newton's first law applies only on bodies that feel no interactions at all. He said that if a body is on rest or moves in constant velocity, there is no external force acting on it. But I have heard another form of the law that says the net force acting on a body must be zero. This means there is interactions involved after all. So which one is correct?

Thread 'Beam on an inclined plane'

Thread 'Beam on an inclined plane'

Hello! I have a question regarding a beam on an inclined plane. I was considering a beam resting on two supports attached to an inclined plane. I was almost sure that the lower support must be more loaded. My imagination about this problem is shown in the picture below. Here is how I wrote the condition of equilibrium forces: $$ \begin{cases} F_{g\parallel}=F_{t1}+F_{t2}, \\ F_{g\perp}=F_{r1}+F_{r2} \end{cases}. $$ On the other hand...
