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.
 
Hi there, im studying nanoscience at the university in Basel. Today I looked at the topic of intertial and non-inertial reference frames and the existence of fictitious forces. I understand that you call forces real in physics if they appear in interplay. Meaning that a force is real when there is the "actio" partner to the "reactio" partner. If this condition is not satisfied the force is not real. I also understand that if you specifically look at non-inertial reference frames you can...
This has been discussed many times on PF, and will likely come up again, so the video might come handy.

I have recently been really interested in the derivation of Hamiltons Principle. On my research I found that with the term ##m \cdot \frac{d}{dt} (\frac{dr}{dt} \cdot \delta r) = 0## (1) one may derivate ##\delta \int (T - V) dt = 0## (2). The derivation itself I understood quiet good, but what I don't understand is where the equation (1) came from, because in my research it was just given and not derived from anywhere. Does anybody know where (1) comes from or why from it the...
