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 'I need a concave mirror with a focal length length of 150 feet'

I need to cut down a 3 year old dead tree from top down so tree causes no damage with small pieces falling. I need a mirror with a focal length of 150 ft. 12" diameter to 36" diameter will work good but I can't think of any easy way to build it. Nothing like this for sale on Ebay. I have a 30" Fresnel lens that I use to burn stumps it works great. Tree service wants $2000.

Thread 'Questions about the Tesla turbine'

Hi all, i have some questions about the tesla turbine: is a tesla turbine more efficient than a steam engine or a stirling engine ? about the discs of the tesla turbine warping because of the high speed rotations; does running the engine on a lower speed solve that or will the discs warp anyway after time ? what is the difference in efficiency between the tesla turbine running at high speed and running it at a lower speed ( as fast as possible but low enough to not warp de discs) and: i...
