Pearson brings to you Engineering Mechanics – an ideal offering for the complete course on engineering mechanics. Written in a simple and lucid style, the book covers the basic principles of mechanics and its application to the solution of engineering problems. This book is apt for self-study by the students and lays down a strong foundation for problem- solving abilities in mechanics.
Features1. Holistic treatment of basic principles and applications of both Statics and Dynamics.
2. The theory has been explained in a logical and consistent manner, following a unified approach throughout the book, which makes the learning easy and smooth.
3. Emphasis is given on gradual built-up of concepts with numerous illustrations.
3. Free-Body Diagrams are emphasized throughout the book, without which the concepts of mechanics cannot be fully understood
5. More than 600 solved examples are provided. Most of these are similar to questions asked in university examinations.
