Publisher's Synopsis
The principles of statics and dynamics are applied in order to understand and describe the behaviour of bodies in motion, displaying engineering mechanics principles and supported with worked examples.;Many in-text examples develop important concepts in statics using easily-visualized, commonplace objects and systems. The text is supported by more than 1200 illustrative figures that help students understand the ideas being presented. Problem sets including computer problems cover a range of difficulty from routine to challenging. In addition, a new ancillary package of plastic models and model problems provides more opportunities for investigating mechanical behaviour.
