Excerpt from Mechanics Applied to Engineering This book has been written especially for Engineers and Students who already possess a fair knowledge of Elementary Mathematics and Theoretical Mechanics; it is intended to assist them to apply their knowledge to practical engineering problems. Considerable pains have been taken to make each point clear without being unduly diffuse. However, while always aiming at conciseness, the short-cut methods in common use have often - and intentionally - been avoided, because they appeal less forcibly to the student, and do not bring home to him the principles involved so well as do the methods here adopted.
