Holistic treatment of basic principles and applications of both Statics and Dynamics.2. The theory has been explained in a logical and consistent manner, following a unified approach throughout the book, which makes the learning easy and smooth.3. Emphasis is given on gradual built-up of concepts with numerous illustrations.3. Free-Body Diagrams are emphasized throughout the book, without which the concepts of mechanics cannot be fully understood5. More than 600 solved examples are provided. Most of these are similar to questions asked in university examinations."
