Engineering Mechanics (2e) is a comprehensive textbook suitable for a single-semester undergraduate course. It covers statics and dynamics, starting with a review of vector algebra and Newton's laws. The statics section covers equilibrium, trusses, friction, and the method of virtual work. Dynamics topics include momentum, work, rotational dynamics, and harmonic oscillators. The book features numerous solved examples, end-of-chapter exercises, conceptual checkpoints, and chapter summaries to reinforce learning and problem-solving skills. It’s clear and easy-to-understand writing style makes it an ideal resource for engineering students.

Three comprehensive chapters on rotational dynamics which students usually find difficult to understand.
High-quality 3D illustrations which give a real-world feel to the concepts discussed
A comprehensive collection of solved examples to hone problem-solving skills
Extensive end-of-chapter exercises that incorporate practical problems and multiple choice questions
In-text conceptual checkpoints that test students’ understanding
