Applied Mechanics for Beginners

Excerpt from Applied Mechanics for Beginners

IN the preparation of this little book, the object has been to provide students of engineering and allied constructive arts with a practical statement of the principles of Mechanics essential to an intelligent interest in their occupations. While the book will serve as a sufficient preparation for the elementary examination in Applied Mechanics of the Board of Education, its contents are not limited by the syllabus of this or any other examining body.

Before the student can profitably take up the study of Mechanics, he should be acquainted with the elementary por tions of Practical Geometry, Machine or Building Construction, and Practical Mathematics. This preliminary knowledge has therefore been taken for granted.
