 Not 100% Helpful June 29, 2008
I purchased this solution's manual to assist me with Beer & Johnston's Vector Mechanics for Engineers. Although the solutions they provide therein are clear and complete, you should not expect to find a solution to a specific problem bedeviling you. I spent a great deal of time looking for a similar solved problem from which I could harvest the technique and apply to my situation but, 70% of the time I was unsuccessful. In the absence of a solutions manual from the publisher and limited professor office hours, this may be your only recourse. Good Luck!
Suppliments Beer Dynamics May 21, 2008
If your text book is Beer Vector Mechanics for Engineers 8 edition, I think you'll find this a very helpful supplement. Equations are similarly formatted, but explanations are somewhat different (and for me more understandable). Many problems are more basic and you get the chance to build up to the problems in Beer's book.
It's infinitely more helpful than Schaum's Engineering Mechanics Statics and Dynamics 5th Ed, by E.W.Nelson, C.L. Best, et al. If you're using the Beer book, I think this Schaum's book will confuse and frustrate you.
 Thank you, Shelly! I love this book. May 20, 2007

This book is possibly the best dynamics books I've laid my hands on. I am an engineering student using this for a first-year Mechanics course, and this book is a lifesaver.
Each chapter starts with 'questions' like 'give a definition of moment of inertia' and then proceeds to actually explain the concepts as opposed to starting with lengthy derivations. The text is clear, aided by diagrams and the derivations that are provided are usually easy to follow.
But the real gem comes afterwards - the author starts with small, fairly simple problems in the beginning, and then each successive problem builds on the concepts learned from the earlier problems. In this way, one learns progressively, as opposed to having all the information presented at once. After six or seven questions, you will be solving more advanced questions. It is *essential* to work through the problems in order unless one already has a thorough knowledge of the topics covered in those problems. The worked solutions don't just give a method, they give explanations and the rationale behind solving it that particular way.
I cannot recommend this book highly enough - I went from dreading Dynamics to loving the challenge.
Be aware though that this book does not cover orbital dynamics.

I will only say this...I would not sell my 2 volumes for a thousand dollars. I hope that these books are someday back in print as they are the ULTIMATE guides to learning, understanding and mastering this material. A MUST HAVE!.
A good book November 20, 1999

This book has it right. A very good sample of the kinds of problems seen in a statics course. All the problems are worked out with written solutions. I found a copy at a local library. If this book was in print I would buy it.
