 McGill and King stress engineering mechanics principles, and support their concept-driven approach with a wealth of worked examples illustrating how the principles of Dynamics may be applied to understand and describe the behavior of bodies in motion. Literally hundreds of in-text examples develop important concepts in Dynamics using easily-visualized, commonplace objects and mechanical systems. The text is supported by more than 1,200 illustrative figures that help students understand the ideas being presented. All problem sets have been extensively revised for the Third Edition, including the computer problems, to provide students and instructors with an almost inexhaustible source of exercises covering a range of difficulty from routine to challenging. In addition, a new ancillary package of plastic Models and Model Problems provides even more opportunities for investigating mechanical behavior.
