For courses in Statics and Dynamics offered by Engineering Technology Departments. This introduction to applied mechanics combines a straightforward, readable foundation in underlying physics principles with a consistent method of problem solving that strips a problem to essentials and solves it in a logical, organized manner. It presents the physics principles in small elementary steps; keeps the mathematics at a reasonable level (algebra, trigonometry and geometry are used); provides an abundance of worked examples; and features problems that are as practical as possible without becoming too involved with many extraneous details.

Combines theory with practical applications within a direct, readable presentation. Theory is delivered with a few clear statements as each subject is developed through practical examples organized in a systematic format.
An ideal reference or refresher on the principles and techniques of applied mechanics. Each topic is developed in a consistent manner: physics principles are presented in small elementary steps; the mathematics is kept at a reasonable level; an abundance of worked examples steps readers through problem-solving strategies; and problems (all with answers) are as practical as possible without becoming too involved with many extraneous details. Provides checklist "Hints for Problem-Solving" sections and a comprehensive math review (algebra, trigonometry, and geometry). STATICS. Forces, Vectors, and Resultants. Moments and Couples.
