"The authors continuously emphasize the importance of communicating solutions through graphics. They focus on drawing correct free-body diagrams and inertial-response diagrams through an innovative illustration program used throughout the text, and dedicate a full chapter to free-body diagrams to help you develop this vital skill." "Sheppard and Tongue introduce a consistent analysis procedure early in the text, and use it throughout, including all worked examples. This problem-solving methodology helps you develop the skills needed to apply these principles systematically in your analysis of mechanics problems." "Innovative real-world case studies and system analysis exercises show you how to simplify and model the system to perform analysis. Exercises introduce some basic design issues, inviting you to suggest design improvements."--BOOK JACKET.
