About Book: 

     This book is specially designed for undergraduate engineering students pursuing a one – semester course on engineering mechanics offered by various technological universities across the country.

       The book deals with both statics and dynamics, the essential parts of rigid body mechanics. It starts with the discussion of elementary topics, including units, dimensions, and fundamental laws of mechanics, which form the basis of subsequent concepts such as dynamics, friction, and rigid body mechanics covered in the later part of the book. Students often find it difficult to understand and assimilate the concepts of mechanics. Which are applied to solve engineering problems. Hence, a strong command of the fundamentals becomes essential.

       Comprehensive and student-friendly in its treatment of concepts, the book provides numerous solved problems, exercises with hints, objective-type questions with answers, and solved model question papers. It is recommended that all students follow the simple algebraic (addition and summation with respect to sign convention) approach to solve the problems.
