"Mechanical Engineering 101: The TextVook," is a lively, informed crash course featuring easy-to-follow text, that will get you up-to-speed on the history and fundamentals of mechanical engineering. Whether you're looking for a fact-filled introduction or a concentrated review, this Vook has the answers you're looking for. Dr. Vook, Ph.D guides you through this practical TextVook that will have you feeling informed and capable. it now!

In this Vook, Dr. Vook, Ph.D, breaks the challenging, useful world of mechanical engineering into eight chapters that will keep you engaged and help you all that you've learned. You'll begin your journey with a brief introduction to mechanical engineering. Then you'll dive into statics, learning about mass, acceleration, forces, Newton's laws of motion, vectors, and free body diagrams. You'll continue your exploration of statics with moments, rigid-body equilibrium, structural analysis, and friction and applications to static analysis. Finally, you'll explore dynamics with: projectile motion, theory and application of Newton's laws of motion, conservation of energy and momentum, vibrations, and a look at cutting-edge research in mechanical engineering. Tip boxes in each lesson give you fascinating facts, hints and history about each topic. As usual, Dr. Vook has got it all covered.
