Analytical Mechanics by Hand,Finch

AI Thread Summary
Analytical Mechanics by Hand and Finch is being used for studying Classical Mechanics, but users are inquiring about the availability of solutions to the book's problems. Some Amazon reviews indicate that solutions exist for certain problems, but not comprehensively for all. There is uncertainty among users regarding where to find these solutions. The discussion highlights a need for clarity on the availability of complete solutions. Overall, the book is recognized as a resource, but its solution accessibility remains a concern.

Hello,

Has anyone used Analytical Mechanics by Hand,Finch for their study in Classical Mechanics?
Did the authors publish the solution for the questions given in the book?
I can't seem to find them any where.

Pardon me if i post this question in the wrong section.

thanks,

I am using it currently.

I have no idea about the solutions though.

According to some reviews on amazon, there are solutions to some problems but not all.
 
The rope is tied into the person (the load of 200 pounds) and the rope goes up from the person to a fixed pulley and back down to his hands. He hauls the rope to suspend himself in the air. What is the mechanical advantage of the system? The person will indeed only have to lift half of his body weight (roughly 100 pounds) because he now lessened the load by that same amount. This APPEARS to be a 2:1 because he can hold himself with half the force, but my question is: is that mechanical...
Some physics textbook writer told me that Newton's first law applies only on bodies that feel no interactions at all. He said that if a body is on rest or moves in constant velocity, there is no external force acting on it. But I have heard another form of the law that says the net force acting on a body must be zero. This means there is interactions involved after all. So which one is correct?
Thread 'Beam on an inclined plane'
Hello! I have a question regarding a beam on an inclined plane. I was considering a beam resting on two supports attached to an inclined plane. I was almost sure that the lower support must be more loaded. My imagination about this problem is shown in the picture below. Here is how I wrote the condition of equilibrium forces: $$ \begin{cases} F_{g\parallel}=F_{t1}+F_{t2}, \\ F_{g\perp}=F_{r1}+F_{r2} \end{cases}. $$ On the other hand...
