Synopsis

Excerpt from Mechanics of Engineering<br/><br/>The diagrams are very numerous (about one to every page an appeal to the eye is Often worth a page of verbal description). The symbols for distances, angles, forces, etc. Used in the algebraic work are, as far as possible, inserted directly In the diagrams, render ing the latter full and explicit, and thus saving time and mental effort to the student. In problems in Dynamics three kinds of arrows ar used to distinguish forces, velocities, and accelerations, respectively, and thus to prevent confusion of ideas. Illustrations and examples of a practical nature, both algebraic and numerical, are of frequent occurrence....
