• NEW! Preliminary Problems designed to test students' conceptual understanding of the theory are placed throughout the text. The solutions to these problems require little or no calculation and are intended to help students develop a basic understanding of the concepts before they are applied numerically.

• Free-Body Diagrams are emphasized throughout the book. In particular, special sections and examples are devoted to show how to draw free-body diagrams. Homework problems have also been added to develop this


practice.

• General Analysis and Design Problems in the book depict realistic situations encountered in engineering practice. Some of these problems come from actual products used in the industry.

• Approximately 30 percent of the problems in this edition are new. These showcase the applications of mechanics in many different fields of engineering."
