Book Description
This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1915 edition. Excerpt: ... walks four miles per hour, he has a velocity of 36 + 4 = 40 miles per hour relative to the earth. If the conductor walks toward the rear of the train he will have a velocity of 36-4 = 32 miles per hour relative to the ground. To illustrate the method of finding the resultant of two velocities, take an overhead traveling crane in the turbine or engine room of any large power plant. Let the line OX (Fig. 59) represent the center line of the crane, and the line OF the direction the crane moves in passing down the room. Assume the crane as stationary, and suppose a workman crosses the girder of the crane at F2 ft. per sec., or at the end of a certain number of seconds (say, T) he arrives at the point B. Again, suppose the workman stands at the point O on the crane which is now moving down the room with a velocity of Vi ft. per sec., and at the end of T sec. arrives at the point C. Now let the workman start at the point O and walk along the girder with a velocity of F2 ft. per sec., and at the same time let the crane move down the room with a velocity of Vi ft. per sec. At the end of T sec. the man arrives at B on the crane, but this point, due to the velocity of the crane has been moved to D. Therefore, the man, due to the combined action of his own velocity and that of the crane, has arrived at D. If both man and crane had moved for T/2 sec., at the end of this time the man would be at E. It must be evident that the points D and E lie on the same straight line OD which is the diagonal of the parallelogram OCDBO. If another man started at the same time as the crane and walked in a direction OD with a velocity of OD ft. per sec., he would be directly under the man walking on the crane girder, overhead. In other words, the diagonal OD...

Book Description
Excerpt from Elementary Mechanics for the Practical Engineer: Engineers' Study Course From Power The subject matter of this book is an exact reproduction of a series of thirty lessons which appeared in Power as a part of the Engineers Study Course. These lessons were intended as "Home Study" for those who had followed the previous courses given in Power. Each lesson was so arranged that the average home study student could thoroughly master the material given each week, before proceeding with the next lesson. To drive home the principles given, five study questions were inserted each week and the student was urged to solve these problems before referring to the answers which appeared in the next lesson. The fact that these questions combined with their answers formed a vital part of the original course is the authors only excuse for the manner in which they appear in the text. The aim of the entire course was to present only those principles of mechanics which could be directly applied to the various phases of power plant operation; and the problems were selected with this same point in mind. These questions were intended to arouse in the reader a desire to know the "why and" the "wherefore" of every machine or piece of apparatus with which he might come in contact during his daily work.

Book Description
This is the more practical approach to engineering mechanics that deals mainly withtwo-dimensional problems, since these comprise the great majority of engineering situationsand are the necessary foundation for good design practice. The format developedfor this textbook, moreover, has been devised to benefit from contemporary ideas ofproblem solving as an educational tool. In both areas dealing with statics and dynamics,theory is held apart from applications, so that practical engineering problems, whichmake use of basic theories in various combinations, can be used to reinforce theoryand demonstrate the workings of static and dynamic engineering situations.In essence a traditional approach, this book makes use of two-dimensional engineeringdrawings rather than pictorial representations. Word problems are included in the latterchapters to encourage the student's ability to use verbal and graphic skills interchangeably.SI units are employed throughout the text.This concise and economical presentation of engineering mechanics has been classroomtested and should prove to be a lively and challenging basic textbook for two onesemestercourses for students in mechanical and civil engineering. Applied EngineeringMechanics: Statics and Dynamics is equally suitable for students in the second or thirdyear of four-year engineering technology programs.

Book Description
Engineering mechanics is one of the fundamental branches of science that is important in the education of professional engineers of any major. Most of the basic engineering courses, such as mechanics of materials, fluid and gas mechanics, machine design, mechatronics, acoustics, vibrations, etc. are based on engineering mechanics courses. In order to absorb the materials of engineering mechanics, it is not enough to consume just theoretical laws and theorems—a student also must develop an ability to solve practical problems. Therefore, it is necessary to solve many problems independently. This book is a part of a four-book series designed to supplement the engineering mechanics courses. This series instructs and applies the principles required to solve practical engineering problems in the following branches of mechanics: statics, kinematics, dynamics, and advanced kinetics. Each book contains between 6 and 8 topics on its specific branch and each topic features 30 problems to be assigned as homework, tests, and/or midterm/final exams with the consent of the instructor. A solution of one similar sample problem from each topic is provided. This first book contains seven topics of statics, the branch of mechanics concerned with the analysis of forces acting on construction systems without an acceleration (a state of the static equilibrium). The book targets the undergraduate students of the sophomore/junior level majoring in science and engineering.
