Which Introductory Statics Textbook is Best for First-Year Engineering Students?

[Prashant91]

Hi All

I am currently doing a 1st year engineering course. The course is called applied mechanics and focusses on statics. Could someone recommend a good introductory statics textbook.

The link below is the unit outline for my course.

RC Hibbeler would probably be the standard.

RC Hibbeler would probably be the standard.

would this be higher rated than vector mechanics - statics 10th edition by beer, johnson ?

Probably the same.
