Synopsis

The theory and applications of engineering mechanics is provided in this book in a thorough yet concise manner. This is the second SI edition including enhanced illustrations so engineering principles are made simpler and clearer. Many photographs are used to show how principles of engineering mechanics are applied in the real-world, and in some instances, these photos further enhance example problems and aid in the understanding of the theory presented. Motion of particles and rigid bodies is depicted. Problem sets have been revised so that both design and analysis problems can be selected according to varying degrees of difficulty. A new appendix has been added to provide practice for solving problems for the Fundamentals in Engineering exam with partial solutions and answers given to all these problems.
