APL 100 MECHANICS SEMESTER II 2020-2021

A. TEXT :
‘ENGINEERING MECHANICS’ by P. C. Dumir, S. Sengupta and S. V. Veeravalli, Universities Press, 2020

B. SELECTED REFERENCES :
1. “Vector Mechanics for Engineers, Statics & Dynamics” by F. P. Beer et al. McGraw Hill, 10th Ed. (SI units) 2013
2. “Engineering Mechanics, Statics and Dynamics” by I. H. Shames, Prentice Hall, (III or IV edition).
Use these references for problems only ─the notations used and development of the theory is very different from those
used in the text book.
