Engineering Mechanics-Statics and Dynamics Principles (3rd Edition)

More than just a book, this volume is part of a system to teach engineering mechanics, a system comprised of three components: 1) this core principles book, 2) algorithmic problem material available online, and 3) a course management system to track and monitor student progress. KEY TOPICS Chapter topics cover vectors; forces; systems of forces and moments; objects and structures in equilibrium; centroids and centers of mass; moments of inertia; friction; internal forces and moments; virtual work and potential energy; motion of a point; force, mass, and acceleration; energy and momentum methods; planar kinematics of rigid bodies; planar dynamics of rigid bodies; energy and momentum in rigid body dynamics; three-dimensional kinematics and dynamics of rigid bodies; and vibrations. For individuals preparing for a career in engineering mechanics.
