A complete introduction to the physics of movement

Engineering Mechanics: Dynamics presents the fundamentals of kinematics in a practical way with immediate real-world relevancy. Covering the physics of movement as it relates to particles and rigid bodies, this book explores the applications of Newton's laws, impulse, momentum, work and energy, vibrations, and much more. In-text conceptual examples illustrate difficult concepts, and end-of-chapter problems help students test both their theoretical and practical understanding. Call-out boxes highlight critical laws and theorems, while color diagrams and charts clarify complex concepts.

Using exceptional, full-color art, this student-friendly text has received rave reviews for its outstanding problem material due to extensive use of real life objects, number and variety of problems and careful gradation of difficulty. Emphasis on free body diagrams provides a stronger foundation of statics. Dynamics covers all of kinematics before kinetics and includes a thorough review of vector algebra, SI units and US customary system units.
