The primary objective of any dynamics course is to develop a student's capacity to predict the effects of force and motion while carrying out the creative design functions of engineering. Meriam and Kraige achieve this through a highly visual, logically structured pedagogical approach. engineering mechanics dynamics meriam 7th edition exclusive
