This introduction to applied mechanics combines a straightforward readablefoundation in underlying physics principles with a consistent method of problemsolving that strips a problem to essentials and solves it in a logicalorganized manner. It presents the physics principles in small elementary stepskeeps the mathematics at a reasonable level algebra trigonometry and geometryare used provides an abundance of worked examples and features problems thatare as practical as possible without becoming too involved with manyextraneous details. The volume addresses forces vectors and resultantsmoments and couples equilibrium structures and members threedimensionalequilibrium friction centroids and center of gravity moment of inertiakinematics kinetics work energy and power and impulse and momentum. Forthose interested in an introduction to applied mechanics. «
