N1  - Includes index; Introduction -- Statics of particles -- Rigid bodies: equivalent systems of forces -- Equilibrium of rigid bodies -- Distributed forces: centroids and centers of gravity -- Analysis of structures -- Forces in beams and cables -- Friction -- Distributed forces: moments of inertia -- Method of virtual work
N2  - The main objective of a first course in mechanics should be to develop in the engineering student the ability to analyze any problem in a simple and logical manner and to apply to its solution a few, well understood, basic principles
