AXXTO THE INSTRUCTOR
As indicated in its preface, Vector Mechanics
for Engineers: Staties is designed for the first
course in statics offered in the sophomore
year of college. New concepts have, therefore,
been presented in simple terms and every step
has been explained in detail. However, bee
of the large number of optional sections
which have been included and the maturity
of approach which has been achieved, this
text can also be used to teach a course
which will challenge the more advanced
student
The text has been divided into units, each
corresponding 10 a well-defined topie and
consisting of one or several theory sections,
one or several Sample Problems, a section
entitled Solving Problems on Your Own, and a
large number of problems to be assigned. To
assist instructors in making up a schedule of
iignments that will best fit their classes, the
various topics covered in the text have been
listed in Table I and a suggested number of
periods to be spent on each topic has been
indicated, Both a minimum and a maximum
number of periods have heen suggested, and
the topics which form the standard b
course in statics have been separated from
those which are optional. The total number of
periods required to teach the basic material
varies from 26 to 39, while covering the entire
text would require from 41 to 65 periods. If
allowance is made for the time spent for
review and exams, it is seen that this text is
equally suitable for teaching a basic staties
course to students with limited preparation
(since this ean be done in 39 periods or less)
and for teaching a more complete staties
course to advanced students (since 41 periods
or more are necessary to cover the entire text).
In most instances, of course, the instructor
will want to include some, but not all, of the
additional material presented in the text. In
addition, it is noted that the text is suitable for
teaching an abridged course in statics which
can be used as an introduction to the study of
dynamies (see Table 1),
‘The problems have been grouped according to
the portions of material they illustrate and have
been arranged in order of increasing difficulty,
with problems requiring special attention
indicated by asterisks. We note that, in most
cases, problems have been arranged in groups
of six or more, all problems of the same group
boeing closely related. This means that instructors
will easily find additional problems to amplify @
particular point which they may have brought
up in discussing a problem assigned for
homework. A group of problems designed to
be solved with computational software can be
found at the end of each chapter. Solutions for
these problems, including analyses of the
problems and problem solutions and output for
the most widely used computational programs,
are provided at the instructor s edition of the
text’s website:
http://ww.mbhe.comy/beerjohnston
To assist in the preparation of homework
assignments, Table I provides a brief
description of all groups of problems and a
classification of the problems in each group
according, to the units used, It should also be
noted that the answers to all problems are
given at the end of the text, except for those
with a number in italic, Because of the large
number of problems available in both systems
of units, the instructor has the choice of
assigning problems using SI units and problems
using U.S. customary units in whatever
proportion is found to be most desivable for a
given class, To illustrate this point, sample
lesson schedules are shown in Tables III, IV,
id V, together with various alternative lists
igned homework problems. Half of the
problems in cach of the six lists suggested in
Table HI and Table V are stated in SI units
of aand half in. U.S. customary units, On the other
hand, 75% of the problems in the four lists
suggested in Table TV are stated in SI units
and 25% in U.S. customary units.
Since the approach used in this text differs in
a number of respeets from the approach used
in other books, instructors will be well advi
sed to read the preface to Vector Mechanics
for Engineers, in which the authors have
outlined their general philosophy. In addition,
will find in the following pages a
by chapter, of the more
int features of this text, Tt is hoped
that this material will help instructors in
organizing their courses to best fit the needs
their students. The authors wish to
acknowledge and thank Amy Mazurek of
Williams Memorial Institute for her careful
preparation of the solutions contained in this
manual.
