Opis

This revised text develops unique conceptual examples that relate fundamental engineering principles to situations engineers encounter in daily practice. These examples help students to develop qualitative reasoning and problem-solving skills. Many of the example and homework problems are new, and the homework problems are now grouped according to difficulty level. Other new study tools include hints in the example problems and highlighted key equations. The chapters on kinematics and kinetics have been revised to enhance clarity.
