This book provides a thorough understanding of the principles and applications of engineering mechanics. Beginning with an introduction to the subject, the book provides a detailed treatment of systems of forces and explains the concepts of centroid and centre of gravity, moment of inertia, virtual work, friction, kinematics of particle and motion of projectiles. It also discusses the laws of motion, power and energy, and collision of elastic bodies in dynamics. Topics are dealt with in a well-organised sequence with proper explanations and simple mathematical formulations.Key features: Includes both vector and scalar analyses of topics.Emphasises the practical applicability of engineering mechanics to real-life situations.Provides key concepts to help instructors deliver improved lectures.Includes a large number of worked-out examples.Provides chapter-end review questions to test students understanding of the subject.Includes chapter-end numerical problems to enhance problem-solving ability.Incorporates objective type questions to help students prepare for examinations.Read mor
