Engineering Mechanics (2e) is designed to\n serve as a textbook for a single-semester undergraduate course on engineering\n mechanics. It provides a lucid introduction to both statics and\n dynamics.Beginning with a review of vector algebra and Newton's laws, the\n book goes on to cover concepts of statics, such as equilibrium of bodies,\n plane trusses, friction, and the method of virtual work, employing both the\n scalar and the vector approach. This is followed by an extensive discussion\n of topics in dynamics, including momentum, work and energy, rotational\n dynamics, and harmonic oscillators. A chapter on non-inertial frames\n completes the utility of this book as a first-level text on engineering\n mechanics. Written in an easy-to-understand manner, the book includes a large\n number of solved examples which illustrate problem-solving methodology. A\n summary at the end of each chapter reviews the key concepts discussed in the\n chapter. An extensive set of end-of-chapter exercises, which include both\n long problems and objective-type questions, are supplemented by conceptual\n checkpoints interspersed throughout the text. \n
