SAVE YOUR STUDENTS MONEY!
- Approximately 40% of the homework problems are new or revised. Includes more problems that produce forces as functions of time, and problems that integrate to project trajectories for particles and rigid bodies.
- New sample problems
- Adopting time order of occurrence display for key equations including work-energy, conservation of energy, and impulse momentum.
- Content revisions to meet course needs include
- More complete diagrams for impulse-momentum problems sections 3/C and 6/C in text
- Additional discussion of General Equations of Motion in Plane Kinetics of Rigid Bodies
- New discussion of establishing coordinate systems as part of problem-solving, see ch 1
- More photographs added throughout the text to improve the link between theory and practical application
Enhanced instructor resources, including animated PowerPoint lecture slides and online algorithmically generated homework.
- Provides a wide variety of high quality problems that are known for their accuracy, realism, applications, and variety. Students benefit from realistic applications that motivate their desire to learn and develop their problem solving skills.
- Sample Problems with a worked solution step appear throughout providing examples and reinforcing important concepts and idea in engineering mechanics
- Introductory Problems are simple, uncomplicated problems designed to help students gain confidence with a new topic. These appear in the problem sets following the Sample Problems.
- Representative Problems are more challenging than Introductory Problems but are of average difficulty and length. These appear in the problem sets following the Sample Problems.
- Computer-Oriented Problems are marked with an icon and appear in the end-of-chapter Review Problems.
- Review Problems appear at the end of chapter.
- Offers comprehensive coverage of how to draw free body diagrams. Through text discussion and assignable homework problems students will learn that drawing free body diagrams is the most important skill needed to learn how to solve mechanics problems. Meriam and Kraige teach students the appropriate techniques and then apply them consistently in solutions of mechanics problems.
- SI Units are covered. There are approximately two problems in SI units for every one in U.S. customary units.
