This book is a foundational text on Applied Mechanics for engineering and architectural students. It offers a step-by-step approach emphasising graphical representations. The author presents the fundamental principles of mechanics, illustrated with numerous experiments that are easily recreated with simple apparatus. The concepts of vectors are introduced to represent forces, and this concept is extended to show how these principles apply to larger, more complex systems. This allows the author to demonstrate the important principles of moments and leverages, including the centre of gravity and principles of equilibrium. The book is written with clarity and accessible language that will be of great use to those beginning their study of mechanics. Tackling a subject that is often perceived as a difficult topic, the author carefully presents the necessary knowledge to enable the reader to gain a full understanding of the principles of Applied Mechanics.

Originally published in 1915, 'the aim of the present book is to present the elementary principles of mechanics in accurate though clear terms and to show the application of those principles to the simpler problems arising in engineering and architectural applications'.
