GOOD: Considering the age of this textbook, it is in good condition, but the pages are beginning to tan. The book's cover and spine are in excellent condition; however, the dust jacket shows signs of wear. The previous owner's name is written inside the front cover, and there is a minimum amount of highlighting, but this does not obscure the text.
The 58-page Supplemental Problems booklet has no bending or creases, but it, too, is beginning to show its age with some tanning of the pages. The previous owner stored this booklet inside the textbook for protection.

"Dynamics is that branch of mechanics which deals with the motion of bodies under the action of forces. The study of dynamics in engineering usually follows the study of statics which deals with the action of forces on bodies at rest. Dynamics has two distinct parts—kinematics, which is the study of motion without reference to the forces which cause motion, and kinetics, which relates the action of forces on bodies to their resulting motions."—from the first paragraph of chapter 1 of the text.
A knowledge of Algebra, Trigonometry, Calculus and Linear Algebra is recommended for this text. Containing ample figures and problems, the text is well written and understandable with the proper background. Note that the problems are not worked in either the supplement or the text book and not all answers are provided.
