Problems and Solutions in Particle Mechanics

Mechanics is the backbone of physics, and particle mechanics is the most fundamental aspect. It has two parts; kinematics and dynamics. In this book, units and dimensions are covered in the first chapter, and the 2nd chapter (vectors) is specifically for dealing with all vector operations (addition, subtraction and multiplication). Kinematics is dealt with in another three chapters (general kinematics with basic definitions of velocity, acceleration etc.). Then, in dynamics we have three chapters (Newton’s laws, Friction and Circular motion). Newton’s laws are applied to these mechanical systems with and without friction. Covering the topic in such detail will help students to master this fundamental topic, which in turn will allow them to grasp the other areas of physics more efficiently.
