"The present title " Engineering Mechanics" has been written for the undergraduate and those preparing for the higher national certificate and professional institution examinations, as well as for those following a degree, or diploma courses. The main aim has been to give a clear understanding of the principles underlying engineering design, and a special effort has been made to indicate the shortest analysis of a wide variety of problem. Each chapter is complete in itself and is built up logically to cover all aspects of the particular theory. The book is written in a simple and easy to follow language, so that even an average student can grasp the subject by self study."

Contents: 1. Fundamentals of engineering mechanics. 2. Beams and cables. 3. Trusses. 4. Moments and products of inertia. 5. Friction. 6. Kinematics of rigid bodies: relative motion. 7. Kinetic of plane motion of rigid bodies. Index.
