Synopsis

Master the fundamentals of rigid-body dynamics with clear, example‑driven guidance.

This classic text presents core ideas in a practical, approachable way, helping you connect theory to real problems.

This edition gathers key methods for calculating inertia, exploring motion in two and three dimensions, and introducing momentum, vis viva, and energy concepts. Rich with worked examples and end‑of‑chapter exercises, it supports learners from first steps to more advanced challenges in dynamics.
  • Learn how to find moments of inertia by integration and coordinate methods.
  • Follow the development of d'Alembert's principle, Euler's equations, and motion about fixed axes.
  • Explore two‑ and three‑dimensional motion, including impulsive forces, relative motion, and moving axes.
  • See how vis viva, momentum, and energy interrelate in rigid-body systems through practical problems.
Ideal for students and self‑learners seeking a solid foundation in dynamics, with historical notes and a broad range of problems to reinforce understanding.
