DESCRIPTION:
From the Publisher Combines theory with practical applications within a direct, readable presentation. Theory is delivered with a few clear statements as each subject is developed through practical examples organized in a systematic format.
It presents the physics principles in small elementary steps; keeps the mathematics at a reasonable level; provides an abundance of worked examples; and features problems that are as practical as possible without becoming too involved with many extraneous details. This edition features 7% more problems, an enhanced layout and design and a logical, disciplined approach that gives readers a sound background in core statics and dynamics competencies. The volume addresses forces, vectors, and resultants, moments and couples, equilibrium, structures and members, three-dimensional equilibrium, friction, centroids and center of gravity, moment of inertia, kinematics, kinetics, work, energy, and power and impulse and momentum. For those interested in an introduction to applied mechanics.. Featuring a non-calculus approach, this introduction to applied mechanics book combines a straightforward, readable foundation in underlying physics principles with a consistent method of problem solving
Chase P said Horrible book, full or errors. This book is chalked full of errors. From the examples that skip critical steps to the answers in the back of the book being completely wrong. Also beware of the very poorly worded questions that will be inflicted on you. Its clear that they just needed to crank out another edition due to the poor technical editing and shoddy explanations.If you need this book for a class, my sympathies, I hope you have a good professor because this book is not worth the paper its printed on.. "so many errors whats the point" according to CAG. This book is so full of errors and missing information that it is difficult to know if what you are doing is correct.. A Customer said FULL OF ERRORS. This has to be one of the worst text book i've used in all of my semester of schooling. The examples are poor and not related to the questions. There are multiple incorrect answers in the back of the book. Be carefull.
