Engineering Mechanics: Statics and Dynamics, 3rd Edition

Engineering Mechanics Statics and Dynamics is a textbook designed essentially for all engineering students. It explains the fundamental concepts and principles underlying the subject, illustrate the applicantion of numerical methods to solve engineering problems with mathematical models, and introduces students to the use of computer applications to solve problems. A continuous step-by-step build up of the subject makes the book very student-friendly. All topics and sequentially coherent subtopics are carefully organized and explained distinctly within each chapter. An abundance of solved examples is provided to illustrate all phases of the topic under consideration. All chapters include several spreadsheet problems for modeling of physical phenomena, which enable the student to obtain graphical representations of physical quantities and perform numerical analysis of problems without recourse to a high-level computer language. Adequately equipped with numerous solved problems and exercises, this book provides sufficient material for a two-semester course. The book would also serve as a ready reference for practicing engineers and for those preparing for competitive examinations. The Third Edition includes past question papers and their solutions.
