Tf allovance 1s aude for the tine Spent for review and’ quizzes, it is seen that this text is equally suiteble for ‘teaching the standard basic Dynamics course in ¥0 to 45 periods and for teaching ‘a nore complete Dynmice course to advanced students. In addition, it should be hoted that STANIOS and DIANTCS may be used together to teach a combined ln or Seoredit-hour course covering all the essential topics in Dynamics, as vell Ghose sections of Statica whieh are prerequiites to the atuty of Dynamics (ace ‘ables VE, VII, and VIII. ‘The problens have been grouped arcording to the portions of material they funastrate and have been arranged in order of increasing difficulty, with prob ens requiring specisi attention indicated by asterisks. The instrictor's attention is eallea to the fact that, in most cases, problans have deen arrenged in groups of ¥ or more, al problens of the sane rdup being closely related. This means that the instructor vill easily find additional protlens to amplity @ particular point vntch he may have brought up in Aiscussing a probler aasimet for honevork. In this new edition of YECTOR MECHANICS FOR ENGIEERS, © grou of four problens designed to be solved with » computer has been added tothe review problens at the end of each chapter. The solutions of these problems ‘may be found in this manual; they consist of the required prograna in both BASIC and FONTAN versions and of the tabulated nimerical results.

It should also be noted that the anavers to all even-numbered problens are given st the end of the text. Because Of the large number of problene available in both systess of unite, the instruc tor has the choice of assigning problews using SI unite and probleis using U.S. customary units In vhatever proportion is found to be nost desirable for a given class.
