Fundamental Laws Of Mechanics (Pb)

The book has been categorized into two parts. Classical Mechanics contains the description of the laws of motion in the Newtonian context, i.e., when the speeds involved in the problem are much lesser than the speed of light. The second part, Relativistic Mechanics, considers those concepts and problems that get left out because of the Newtonian approximation. Here, the subject matter involves speeds that are comparable to the speed of light. The chapters in Fundamental Laws Of Mechanics open with an essay. A most interesting and instructive set of problems and questions, with solutions, then follow. Nearly 80 problems are provided. They form an important part of the text, as they’re closely associated with, and supplement, the subject matter in the textbook. A few refinements and corrections have been made in this text to impress upon the students the essence of the problems being discussed and studied, especially in the areas of conservation laws and Newton’s 2nd law of motion. New problems and examples have been also been added in this edition.
