Sharma D.P. Engineering Mechanics

Pearson Education; Dorling Kindersley (India) Pvt. Ltd., 2011. — 637 p. — ISBN: 9788131759127.The importance of mechanics for engineering education is manifold. It forms the root of machines in mechanical engineering and an initial stage work in civil engineering design work. It is a support for electrical and other branches of engineering. Besides, engineering mechanics becomes interesting if the student is able to solve the problem without external guidance.
The contents of this book have been mapped to the syllabus of Rajasthan Technical University, Kota. It not only stresses the mathematical way of problem solving but prepares the student to predict the results, forces and motions by imagining and visualizing the consequences. The problems have been made as interesting as possible being practical and resembling real-life situations.
