My Favorite Resources for Engineering Statics

← Back to all posts

In this article, I show you my favorite places to find engineering statics resources like YouTube playlists, free online texts, and useful websites.

If you're looking for college and university engineering statics resources, you've come to the right place. If you're taking ENGR 141 at UVic specifically, our guide to the course covers what's actually tested and how to prepare for it.

Prefer to watch this instead of read it? Same recommendations, on video:

Jeff Hanson's Statics YouTube Playlist

The Heywood Academies Problem Bank

The statics problems we have built up over years of tutoring are in our Problem Bank now, alongside the rest of the courses we tutor.

Equilibrium, trusses, frames, and the rest, each with the full solution written out step by step rather than just a final answer, so when a free body diagram goes wrong you can find the line where it broke.

See what is in the Problem Bank, or sign up directly at practice.heywoodacademies.com.

Another Free Online Statics Textbook

This book has HARDER statics problems.

So if you're looking for resources for statics that includes lots of vectors and calculus, check out this free online statics textbook.

Once statics clicks, dynamics is the natural next course, and it uses a lot of the same vector skills. Take a look at our favorite dynamics resources when you get there.
