Classical An introduction to mechanics solutions

Click For Summary
The discussion revolves around finding a solution manual or alternative resources for problems in the second edition of "An Introduction to Mechanics." The original poster is struggling with conceptual problems in the first chapter, which do not provide answers. It is noted that instructor solution manuals are restricted to educators, prompting a search for other textbooks that include answers to problems. Suggestions include considering "Exercises for The Feynman Lectures on Physics," although there is uncertainty about whether it provides answers. The poster emphasizes the need for resources that match the difficulty level of the original text to verify their problem-solving accuracy.

Hello,

Per your guidance I'm running through the 2nd edition of an introduction to mechanics. I'm only in the 1st chapter and all the problems are conceptual with no sign of answers. Does anyone know where I can find a manual? Or maybe an alternate source of problems with answers?

Instructor solution manuals are only available to instructors. You would need to find a different textbook to study that has answers to half of the questions posted in the back of the book. :smile:

Can you recommend any place? I was thinking Exercises for The Feynman Lectures on Physics, but I'm not sure if that has answers either...

I would still prefer the same difficulty as K&K. I just need some form of answers to ensure I'm doing the problems correctly.

Thread 'What is the best conceptual high school physics book?'

i am self learning physics. have you ever worked your way backwards again after finishing most undergrad courses? i have textbooks for junior/senior physics courses in classical mechanics, electrodynamics, thermal physics, quantum mechanics, and mathematical methods for self learning. i have the Halliday Resnick sophomore book. working backwards, i checked out Conceptual Physics 11th edition by Hewitt and found this book very helpful. What i liked most was how stimulating the pictures...
