Synopsis
Gain a solid, approachable grounding in the core ideas of applied mechanics.
This concise, introductory edition rearranges and expands key material from a longer treatise, offering a clear path for beginners and junior students of engineering to build essential skills.
This book serves as a practical stepping‑stone to the full work, with more than 250 new examples that reinforce concepts. It covers how to measure and construct shapes, understand motion and forces, and apply fundamental principles to machines, fluids, and structures. You’ll find approachable explanations of work, energy, friction, and the behavior of simple and hydraulic machines, all tied to concrete problem solving.- Learn to calculate areas, volumes, and curves with straightforward rules and scale drawings.
- Grasp motion, velocity, and force through step‑by‑step demonstrations and examples.
- Explore how work and energy relate to lifting, turning, and driving machines.
- See how hydraulics and governors control systems in practical engineering contexts.

Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a thorough introduction to the principles of applied mechanics, starting with basic concepts then moving on to more complex topics, including a discussion of screw motion. The author begins with a survey of mensuration and curve construction, since an understanding of these is required for further study of applied mechanics. The author explains how to determine the moment of inertia and other properties of shape required to solve mechanics problems. The book also covers more complex topics like projectiles, friction, and the analysis of forces in various mechanical systems, including pulleys, belts, gears, and brakes. The author includes worked examples throughout and concludes with valuable information on experimental results and strength of materials, considering elasticity, testing, and impact resistance. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781332020348_0
