Description

This book arms engineers with the tools to apply key physicsconcepts in the field. A number of the key figures in the newedition are revised to provide a more inviting and informativetreatment. The figures are broken into component parts withsupporting commentary so that they can more readily see the keyideas. Material from The Flying Circus isincorporated into the chapter opener puzzlers, sample problems,examples and end-of-chapter problems to make the subject moreengaging. Checkpoints enable them to check theirunderstanding of a question with some reasoning based on thenarrative or sample problem they just read. SampleProblems also demonstrate how engineers can solve problemswith reasoned solutions.
