To the Instructor
This manual contains the solutions to all the problems in Mechanics of Materials, Eighth Edition. As stated
in the preface of the text, the problems in every section are arranged in an approximate order of increasing
difficulty. Be aware that answers to all but every fourth problem, which is indicated by an asterisk (*), are
listed in the back of the book. Also, every fourth problem has an additional hint for the solution and is
indicated with a bullet (). Finally, those problems indicated by a square () will require additional
numerical work.
You may wish to use one of the lists of homework problems given on the following pages. Here you will find
three lists for which the answers are in the back of the book, a fourth list for problems without answers, and a
fifth sheet which can be used to develop your own personal syllabus. The prepared lists generally represent
assignments with an easy, a moderate, and sometimes a more challenging problem.
If you have any questions regarding the solutions in this manual, I would greatly appreciate hearing from
you.
