Synopsis

[According to Back Cover] THEORETICAL MECHANICS: STATICS AND THE DYNAMICS OF A PARTICLE by William Duncan MacMillan Beginning with elementary concepts and postulates peculiar to mechanics, this exceptionally clear and comprehensive text carries the student through vectors and their applications, to a thorough exposition of the statics of a particle and an intermediate level exposition of particle dynamics. Each new concept is carefully defined and then illustrated through the solution of hundreds of basic problems in astronomy, ballistics, transmission of power, stress and strain, elasticity, and related topics. 340 practise problems and many examples fully worked out in the text make it possible for anyone with a working knowledge of calculus and differential equations to test and extend the principles developed in the text while 200 key diagrams make the exposition clear and explicit. Partial Contents: PART I. Vectors, Velocity. Acceleration. Mass and Force. Work and Energy. Center o
