Applied Mechanics for Engineering Technology 7th ed

 Walker,  Applied Mechanics for Engineering Technology 7th ed,  2003 : For courses in Statics and Dynamics offered by Engineering Technology Departments.This introduction to applied mechanics text combines a straightforward, readable foundation in underlying physics principles with a consistent method of problem solving that strips a problem to essentials and solves it in a logical, organized manner. It presents the physics principles in small elementary steps; keeps the mathematics at a reasonable level (algebra, trigonometry, and geometry are used); provides an abundance of worked examples; and features problems that are as practical as possible without becoming too involved with many extraneous details.NEW - Improved format features-e.g. redesigned layout of equations, selective bolding of important key concepts, uniform artwork. Provides students with an improved, standardized presentation that clarifies ambiguities and enhances the flow of information.NEW - New problems and examples-With clarifying remarks added. Provides students with examples and problems that relate to real-world practical situations.NEW - Components, equivalent couples, equilibrium and free-body diagrams explanations improved. Provides students with an appropriate presentation sequence of difficult concepts.NEW - Individual problems contain steel table information. Provides students with a more cohesive presentation.Clear, direct style and 175 worked examples-Presents theory with a few clear statements as each subject is developed and illustrated through practical examples. Provides students with a text that is very readable and to the point.960 graded application problems of varying complexity-Features a good balance between S.I. and U.S. units. Cross-references problems to the corresponding sections within each chapter. Gives instructors a broad range of problems from which to choose. Providesstudents with opportunity for practice at various levels of difficulty and provides a means of quick-reference while working problems or reviewing.Emphasis on the application of theory. Enables students to learn by doing and shows the relevance of material they're studying to the real-world."Hints for Problem-Solving" sections-Conclude each chapter. Provides a strategy and troubleshooting techniques that will assist students in analyzing and solving all types of problems.Answers for all problems-Provided in the back of the text. Allows students to check their work as they go, to ensure they comprehend the material before moving on; and encourages students to tackle more challenging or more varied problems on their own.Comprehensive math review-Covers algebra, trigonometry, and geometry. Accommodates students with different needs and varied backgrounds in math.
