Includes index.

Kinematics of particles.--Kinetics of particles: Newton's second law.--Kinetics of particles: energy and momentum method.--Systems of particles.--Kinematics of rigid bodies.--Plane motion of rigid bodies: forces and accelerations.--Plane motion of rigid bodies: energy and momentum methods.--Kinetics of rigid bodies in three dimensions.--Mechanical vibrations.--Appendix A: Some useful definitions and properties of vector algebra.--Appendix B: Mass moment of inertia.--Appendix C: Fundamentals of engineering examination.--Answers to problems.

Continuing in the spirit of its successful previous editions, the eleventh edition of Vector Mechanics for Engineers: Dynamics provides conceptually accurate and thorough coverage together with a significant refreshment of the exercise sets. In this edition: Thoroughly refreshed problem set. Concept questions include multiple choice problems that require few, if any, calculations. Students are encouraged to solve these problems using the principles and techniques discussed in the text and to use these principles to help develop their intuition.
