Engineering Mechanics, Dynamics 6 edition

Concise and authoritative, this book set the standard for excellence in basic mechanics texts. The major emphasis is on basic principles and problem formulation. Strong effort has been made to show both the cohesiveness of the relatively few fundamental ideas and the great variety of problems that these ideas solve. All of the problems deal with principles and procedures inherent in the design and analysis of engineering structures and mechanical systems with many of the problems referring explicitly to design considerations.

over The Past 50 Years, Meriam & Kraige's Engineering Mechanics: Statics Has Established A Highly Respected Tradition Of Excellence—a Tradition That Emphasizes Accuracy, Rigor, Clarity, And Applications. Now Completely Revised, Redesigned, And Modernized, The New Fifth Edition Of This Classic Text Builds On These Strengths, Adding New Problems And A More Accessible, Student-friendly Presentation.

This concise and authoritative book emphasizes basic principles and problem formulation. It illustrates both the cohesiveness of the relatively few fundamental ideas in this area and the great variety of problems these ideas solve. All of the problems address principles and procedures inherent in the design and analysis of engineering structures and mechanical systems, with many of the problems referring explicitly to design considerations.Sample problems are presented in a single page format with comments and cautions keyed to salient points in the solution.-- Illustrations are color coordinated to identify related ideas throughout the book (e.g., red = forces and moments, green = velocity and acceleration). Included in this new edition we find rewritten, updated prose for content clarity, new problems in new application areas and new electronic supplements to assist learning and instruction Dynamics is that branch of mechanics which deals with the motion of bodies under the action of forces.
