Presents to the student the theory and applications of engineering mechanics. The author emphasizes the drawing of free-body diagrams and notes the importance of selecting an appropriate coordinate system and associated sign convention for vector components when the equations of mechanics are applied. Discussion of the subject areas of statics and dynamics covers such topics as the properties of a concurrent force system, the equilibrium and kinematics of a particle, and the planar motion of a rigid body.
