Summary: A Textbook of Applied Mechanics covers various topics including vector quantities, units of mass and force, resultant and components of forces, stresses in frames, epicyclic gearing, statics of a particle, moment of a force, parallel forces, lifting machines, and more. It explains principles such as equilibrium of forces, resolving forces, torque calculations, velocity ratios, and efficiency in lifting tackles. Through examples like trusses, cantilevers, bridges, and gear systems, the book illustrates the application of theoretical concepts in solving real-world engineering problems. Additionally, it delves into the analysis of forces in equilibrium, moments, and rotations, providing a comprehensive understanding of mechanical principles and their practical implementation.
