Principles of Mechanics: Fundamental University Physics is an open-access textbook by Salma Alrasheed (King Abdullah University of Science and Technology), published by Springer in 2019. It covers the core of a university mechanics course: units and vectors, kinematics, Newton’s laws, work and energy, impulse and momentum, systems of particles, rotation of rigid bodies, rolling and static equilibrium, central force motion, and oscillatory motion — with worked examples and end-of-chapter problems throughout.
This is a faithful MyST Markdown conversion of the printed book: all equations are live LaTeX, all figures are the original book artwork, and worked examples and problems are interactive directives.
