First published over 40 years ago, this work has achieved the status of a classic among introductory texts on mechanics. Den Hartog is known for his lively, discursive and often witfy presentations of all the fundamental material of both statics and dynamics(an considerable more advanced material) in new, original ways that provide students with insights in to mechanical relationships that other books do not always succeed in conveying. On the other hand, the work is so replete with engineering applications and actual design problems that it is as valuable reference to the practicing engineer as it is as a text refresher for the general engineering student. Chapters Cover: Discrete Coplanar Forces, Conditions of Equillibrium, Distributed Forces, Tissues and Cables, Beams, Friction, Space Foces, The Method Work, Kinematics of Plane Motion, Moments of Inertia, Dynamics Plane Motion, Work and Energy, Impulse and Momentum, Relative Motion, and Gyroscopes. Particularly in the last two chapters Den Hartog provides advance material not usual in introductory texts. "Very thoroughly recommended to all anxious to improve their real understanding of the principles of mechanics"-MECHANICAL WORLD
