A primary objective in a first course in mechanics is to help develop a student's ability first to analyze problems in a simple and logical manner, and then to apply basic principles to their solutions. A strong conceptual understanding of these basic mechanics principles is essential for successfully solving mechanics problems. This edition of Vector Mechanics for Engineers will help instructors achieve these goals. Continuing in the spirit of its successful previous editions, this edition provides conceptually accurate and thorough coverage together with a significant refreshment of the exercise sets and online delivery of homework problems to your students.
The 12th edition has new case studies and enhancements in the text and in Connect. The hallmark of the Beer-Johnston series has been the problem sets.This edition is no different. Over 650 of the homework problems in the text are new or revised. One of the characteristics of the approach used in this book is that mechanics of particles is clearly separated from the mechanics of rigid bodies. This approach makes it possible to consider simple practical applications at an early stage and to postpone the introduction of the more difficult concepts. Additionally, Connect has over 100 Free-Body Diagram Tool Problems and Process-Oriented Problems.
McGraw-Hill's Connect, is also available. Connect is the only integrated learning system that empowers students by continuously adapting to deliver precisely what they need, when they need it, how they need it, so that class time is more effective. Connect allows the professor to assign homework, quizzes, and tests easily and automatically grades and records the scores of the student's work. Problems are randomized to prevent sharing of answers an may also have a "multi-step solution" which helps move the students' learning along if they experience difficulty.

Over 1,000 free-body diagram problems have been added to Connect.
100 stand-alone Process-Oriented Problems are now included in Connect.
Each chapter now features a case study. Connect contains videos based on each case-study to demonstrate more applications to students. Questions in Connect will relate back to the video.Statics and Dynamics offer Case Study Videos.Only Dynamics offers Working Model Videos.
Thoroughly Refreshed Problem Set in the Twelfth Edition. 70% of the problems are updated from the previous edition.
Concept Questions are multiple choice problems that require few, if any, calculations are included. Students are encouraged to solve these problems using the principles and techniques discussed in the text and to use these principles to help develop their intuition.
McGraw-Hill Education Connect is a digital teaching and learning environment that improves performance over a variety of critical outcomes; it is easy to use; and it is proven effective. Available within McGraw-Hill Educations Connect, SmartBook makes study time as productive and efficient as possible. It identifies and closes knowledge gaps through a continually adapting reading experience that provides personalized learning resources at the precise moment of need. This ensures that every minute spent with SmartBook is returned to the student as the most value-added minute possible. The result? More confidence, better grades, and greater success.
Computer and Design Problems are offered at the end of each chapter. While the problems are generic they are designed to be easily solved using popular computational programs like Matlab? and Mathcad?. The computer problems focus on symbolic manipulation and plotting rather than programming.
COSMOS is available with this title (Complete Online Solutions Manual Organization System). Instructors can learn more about the system by clicking here. and register for the system at the following link http://cosmos.mhhe.com.
A Careful, Step-By-Step Presentation is followed in each lesson of each chapter, and every chapter starts with a real-life example and an outline previewing the chapter objectives and lessons. Each lesson is accompanied by sample problems and Solving Problems On Your Own boxes that prepare students for the problem sets. Each chapter finishes with a brief Review Problem set and an assortment of computer and design problems.
Well-Respected Sample Problems are a signature Beer and Johnston text feature that allow students to see important key problem types and with the solution laid out on a single page, organized to provide a potent model for student problem solving. Sample Problems serve the dual purpose of amplifying the text and demonstrating the type of neat and orderly work that students should cultivate in their own solutions.
