Review: This physics textbook is designed as a foundation for engineer1ng mechanics for use in the classroom. Each chapter gives a review of the fundamental and the relevant definitions. This is followed by worked examples, and a set of problems. A separate Instructor’s Solution Manual is available as well as study packs. The chapters include a general introduction to units and fundamental concepts; vectors; forces; systems of forces and moments; objects in equilibrium; structures in equilibrium; centroids and moments of inertia; friction; measures of stress and strain; axially-loaded bars; torsion; states of stress; and strain; internal forces and moments in beams; stresses and deflections in beams; and buckling of columns.
