The book "A Self-Study Guide for Statics in Engineering Mechanics" is thoughtfully designed for students who may not have access to classroom learning or consider themselves average learners. It enables them to study independently at home and prepare effectively for undergraduate examinations as well as competitive exams such as UPSC CSE GATE, ESE, and PSUs, helping them achieve excellent results. The book emphasizes long-term retention of concepts. Each chapter is structured to ensure comprehensive understanding: every article is followed by an example, which is then reinforced with a similar exercise for practice. At the end of each chapter, solved problems are provided, each paired with a corresponding practice problem. Students are strongly encouraged to diligently work through these exercises and practice problems to build confidence and mastery over the subject matter.
