In this book, all the chapters adequately cover the basic concepts of Engineering Mechanics with maximum emphasis on solving the problems in a lucid manner so that average student can understand easily. Although the author does not claim complete originality, an attempt is made that the book is self sufficient eliminating the need for reference to other books. S.I. units have been used for numerical problems however in chapters dealing with Centroids and Moment of Inertia some dimensions are in milli meters.Syllabus covered in this book caters not only to the needs of Mechanical, Civil, Production, Automobile, Mechatronics and Aeronautical Engineering students of JNTUH but students of all Universities. The problems solved are useful for students preparing for IES, GATE and all other competitive examinations.
