A primary objective in a first course in mechanics is to help
develop a student's ability first to analyze problems in a simple
and logical manner and then to apply basic principles to their
solutions. A strong conceptual understanding of these basic
mechanics principles is essential for successfully solving
mechanics problems. This edition of Vector Mechanics for Engineers
will help instructors achieve these goals. Continuing in the spirit
of its successful previous editions this edition provides
conceptually accurate and thorough coverage together with a
significant refreshment of the exercise sets and online delivery of
homework problems to your students. The 12th edition has new case
studies and enhancements in the text and in Connect. The hallmark
of the Beer-Johnston series has been the problem sets.This edition
is no different. Over 650 of the homework problems in the text are
new or revised. One of the characteristics of the approach used in
this book is that mechanics of particles is clearly separated from
the mechanics of rigid bodies. This approach makes it possible to
consider simple practical applications at an early stage and to
postpone the introduction of the more difficult concepts.
Additionally Connect has over 100 Free-Body Diagram Tool Problems
and Process-Oriented Problems. McGraw-Hill's Connect is also
available. Connect is the only integrated learning system that
empowers students by continuously adapting to deliver precisely
what they need when they need it how they need it so that class
time is more effective. Connect allows the professor to assign
homework quizzes and tests easily and automatically grades and
records the scores of the student's work. Problems are randomized
to prevent sharing of answers an may also have a "multi-step
solution" which helps move the students' learning along if they
experience difficulty.
