Designed for the first-year undergraduate students of all engineering disciplines, this well-written textbook presents a comprehensive coverage of the fundamental concepts, principles and applications of engineering mechanics in an easy-to-comprehend manner. The book presents an in-depth analysis of various branches of engineering mechanics and the units of measurements. It discusses the system of forces, its characteristics and graphical representation along with composition of coplanar concurrent/non-concurrent forces in a simple but effective style. Using a self-instructive student-friendly approach, the book describes properties of surfaces which cover centre of gravity and moment of inertia. Separate chapters are devoted to a thorough study of friction, kinematics and kinetics of particles. Finally, this book explains the elements of rigid body dynamics. Key Features Includes a number of self-explanatory, graded and worked-out examples for practice. Incorporates review and summary, key terms and review questions at the end of each chapter to clarify the concepts. Presents step-by-step build-up of topics with side-by-side free body diagrams. Contains problems for practice at the end of each chapter to consolidate learning. Table of Contents Preface 1. Fundamentals of Mechanics 2. Statics and Equilibrium of Particles 3.
