I'm currently using Statics: Analysis and design of systems in equilibrium by Sherri D sheppard.

My classmates and I want another statics book for reference. We are looking into

Vector Mechanics for Engineers, Statics and Dynamics 7e
Ferdinand P. Beer (Author), Jr., E. Russell Johnston (Author), Elliot R. Eisenberg (Author), William E. Clausen (Author), George H. Staab (Author)

Engineering Mechanics-Statics 10e
by Russell C. Hibbeler

Engineering Mechanics: Statics 4e
by Anthony Bedford (Author), Wallace T. Fowler
 
Engineering news on Phys.org
Engineering Mechanics-Statics 10e
by Russell C. Hibbeler

we use this one in our statics class, so far I find it pretty good, nice diagrams and helpfull examples... also I think you can get a supplementary solutions manual for it
 
Hey mate...use this book, it's really great...I used it in my first year...
Engineering Mechanics STATICS
By: J.L.Meriam L.G. Kraige
 
I recommend Engineering Mechanics: Statics - Beer and Johnstons, but i used at college Engineering Mechanics: Statics - Jaan Kiusalaas and Andrew Pytel. Both are good, but the first one has more interesting exercices, i recommend get both.
 

Thread 'Query on Isentropic relationships (such as PV^gamma = constant)'

Hi all, I have a question. So from the derivation of the Isentropic process relationship PV^gamma = constant, there is a step dW = PdV, which can only be said for quasi-equilibrium (or reversible) processes. As such I believe PV^gamma = constant (and the family of equations) should not be applicable to just adiabatic processes? Ie, it should be applicable only for adiabatic + reversible = isentropic processes? However, I've seen couple of online notes/books, and...

Thread 'How can I find the cleanout for my building drain?'

I am a long distance truck driver, but I recently completed a plumbing program with Stratford Career Institute. In the chapter of my textbook Repairing DWV Systems, the author says that if there is a clog in the building drain, one can clear out the clog by using a snake augur or maybe some other type of tool into the cleanout for the building drain. The author said that the cleanout for the building drain is usually near the stack. I live in a duplex townhouse. Just out of curiosity, I...
