Add your own review!

Overview

Gain a solid understanding of Newtonian dynamics and its application to real-world problems with Pytel/Kiusalaas' ENGINEERING MECHANICS: DYNAMICS, 4E. The text focuses on both fundamental principles and important problem-solving techniques. The authors clearly introduce critical concepts using learning features that connect real problems and examples with the fundamentals of engineering mechanics. You learn how to effectively analyze problems before substituting numbers into formulas -- a skill that benefits you tremendously as you encounter real life problems that do not always fit into standard formulas. This book's concise presentation is complemented by a useful Student Study Guide that clarifies concepts and includes guided solutions to a number of additional equilibrium problems.
