The Beer/Johnston textbooks have over the years introduced significant pedagogical innovations into engineering mechanics teaching. Careful presentation of content, unmatched levels of accuracy, and attention to detail has made these texts the standard for excellence. This book, the ninth edition of the classic text Vector Mechanics for Engineers: Dynamics continues in the spirit of its successful previous editions, provides conceptually accurate and thorough coverage together with a significant refreshment of the exercise sets and problems. Salient Features  SI Units used throughout the book. Visual Program: Liberal use of effective-forces diagrams to achieve a more intuitive and complete understanding of fundamental principles. Real World Examples, Applications & Problems: Helps students identify circumstances in there daily lives and better understand the concepts. Computer and Design Problems: Problems are designed to be easily solved using popular computational programs like Matlab, Mathcad, and Maple. The computer problems focus on symbolic manipulation and plotting rather than programming aspects
