Excerpt from Mechanics for Engineers: A Text-Book of Intermediate Standard
Engineering students constitute a fairly large proportion of those attending the Mechanics classes in technical colleges and schools, but their needs are not identical with those of the students of general science. It has recently become a common practice to provide separate classes in Mathematics, adapted to the special needs of engineering students, who are in most institutions sufficiently numerous to justify similar provision in Mechanics. The aim of this book is to provide a suitable course in the principles of Mechanics for engineering students.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a thorough examination of mechanics, a branch of physics concerned with the motion of objects and the forces that cause them to move. By exploring principles developed over centuries, from the initial work of Aristotle to Newton and beyond, the author not only provides the foundational principles of mechanics but also a rich historical context. The book's in-depth study extends to topics such as kinematics, which describes the motion of objects without considering the forces that cause them to move, and dynamics, which focuses on the relationship between forces and the resulting motion. It also delves into work and energy, concepts crucial to understanding the transformation and conservation of energy within mechanical systems. Additionally, the text covers topics such as equilibrium and the center of gravity, essential concepts for analyzing the stability and motion of objects. Throughout the book, the author presents complex concepts with great clarity, using diagrams and examples to illustrate principles effectively. This approach enhances comprehension for readers of various backgrounds, making it an ideal resource for students, professionals, and anyone seeking to understand the fundamental principles of mechanics. It also offers insights for those delving into related fields such as engineering, physics, and architecture. Understanding mechanics is not merely about comprehending physical phenomena but also about appreciating the historical evolution of scientific thought. This book serves as a valuable tool for gaining a deeper understanding of the subject and its significance in shaping our understanding of the physical world. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
