Engineering Mechanics

This is a comprehensive book which caters to the needs of Engineering Machines course of undergraduate syllabi of almost all Indian universities. It deals thoroughly with the basic laws of mechanics combined with the emphasis on the use of correct free-body diagrams. Standard notations have been used. It is a balanced mix of theory and well graded solved examples. Problems have been solved systematically by using the correct approach. New approach of applying "Checks" has been introduced to ascertain the correctness of solution of problems on Trusses and Shear Force & Bending Moment Diagrams. The book thoroughly deals with both, Statics and Dynamics branches of Mechanics. Sufficient number of chapters have been added for students and teachers of various universities. The book is extremely useful for the competitive and professional examinations such as GATE, UPSC, PSCs of all states, GRE, AMIE.
