Synopsis

This book by an accomplished educator aims to provide a solid foundation in mechanics for engineering students. The author believes that engineering students frequently lack practical, everyday examples when studying mechanics. Within the book, students will find an abundance of real-world problems that present significant facts about engineering practices, serving to engage students far more effectively than abstract examples. Furthermore, this text emphasizes the crucial elements and fundamental principles of mechanics that establish the basis for every engineer's knowledge. The author believes these essential elements and principles are best understood and remembered by solving numerous problems. The text is structured into the three sub-divisions of mechanics: Work, Force, and Motion. The author provides a solved example at the start of each section, which is then followed by a series of problems that are similar in nature. These problems are designed to act as a guide for students to use when completing their own work. Throughout this book, the author has intentionally left more data in many of the problems than is absolutely necessary for solving the problem. This technique provides students with the opportunity to determine which data is relevant and which can be disregarded, just as they would need to do when working on real-world engineering problems.
