Mechanics and Properties of Matter

: This book on mechanics and properties of matter is intended to suit the needs of B Sc I semester students. This book has been written as per the guidelines of dream National Education Policy 2020. The book covers the topics included in the syllabi of various Indian Universities. The subject matter is divided into TEN chapters. Each chapter is self contained and is treated in a comprehensive way using SI system of units. ‘Collision and Types of Collision, Motion of rockets, Centre of mass, Theory of compound pendulum, Satellite in a circular orbit, Theory of Single Cantilever and Surface tension’ are the some of topics which have been given special attention. While preparing the book it was assumed that the students are familiar with the basic principles of physics. However some of the elementary discussions are also included (at selected topics) to initiate an advanced treatment of the subject. Handpicked numerical are included to upgrade student’s knowledge. Question bank is given at the end of each chapter. I hope that this book will be found usefull by
