Author Description

"Volume 2, Dynamics", contains 114 sample problems and 1313 unsolved problems from which a choice of assignments can be made. Of these problems over 50 percent are new with the balance selected from the preceding editions. Each problem set begins with relatively simple, uncomplicated problems to help students gain confidence with the new topic. Many practical problems and examples of interesting engineering situations drawn from a range of applications are represented in the problem collection. The major emphasis of "Engineering Mechanics" is on basic principles and methods rather than on a multitude of special cases, and an effort has been made to show both the cohesiveness of the relatively few fundamental ideas and the great variety of problems which these few ideas will solve.
