About This Book

This comprehensive and self-contained textbook will help students in acquiring an understanding of fundamental concepts and applications of engineering mechanics. With basic prior knowledge, the readers are guided through important concepts of engineering mechanics such as free body diagrams, principles of the transmissibility of forces, Coulomb's law of friction, analysis of forces in members of truss and rectilinear motion in horizontal direction. Important theorems including Lami's theorem, Varignon's theorem, parallel axis theorem and perpendicular axis theorem are discussed in a step-by-step manner for better clarity. Applications of ladder friction, wedge friction, screw friction and belt friction are discussed in detail. The textbook is primarily written for undergraduate engineering students in India. Numerous theoretical questions, unsolved numerical problems and solved problems are included throughout the text to develop a clear understanding of the key principles of engineering mechanics. This text is the ideal resource for first year engineering undergraduates taking an introductory, single-semester course in engineering mechanics.

Introduction 
to 
Engineering 
Mechanics 
Engineering 
Mechanics 
is 
basically 
a 
branch 
of 
mechanics, 
associated 
with 
the 
study 
of 
effect 
of 
forces 
acting 
on 
rigid 
bodies. 
Such 
forces 
may 
keep 
a 
body 
or 
bodies 
in 
rest 
or 
in 
motion. 
If 
a 
body 
remains 
in 
rest 
condition, 
it 
means 
the 
net 
effect 
of 
all 
forces 
acting 
is 
zero; 
this 
condition 
of 
the 
body 
is 
termed 
as 
static 
or 
equilibrium. 
However, 
if 
the 
body 
moves, 
it 
means 
an 
unbalanced 
force 
is 
acting 
and 
causing 
the 
motion; 
this 
condition 
of 
body 
is 
termed 
as 
dynamics. 
us, 
engineering 
mechanics 
is 
mainly 
concerned 
with 
the 
effect 
of 
forces 
on 
rigid 
body. 
However, 
mechanics 
is 
broadly 
classied 
into 
various 
categories 
depending 
upon 
type 
(nature) 
of 
bodies 
influenced 
by 
forces. 
e 
bodies 
may 
be 
solid 
(rigid 
or 
deformable) 
or 
fluid.
