Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around identifying a specific book related to classical mechanics, with a focus on analytical mechanics, including topics such as Lagrange mechanics and the principle of virtual work. Participants share their insights and suggestions based on visual references provided.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Debate/contested, Conceptual clarification

Main Points Raised

  • One participant seeks help in identifying a book on classical mechanics based on provided images.
  • Another participant suggests that the book resembles "Kleppner and Kolenkow."
  • A link to a potential book is shared, but it is not confirmed to be the correct one.
  • The original poster clarifies that they are looking for a book specifically focused on analytical mechanics.
  • Another participant proposes that "Shaum's Outlines Theoretical Mechanics" might contain relevant problems and diagrams.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants have differing opinions on the potential titles that match the original poster's request, and no consensus is reached regarding the exact book being sought.

Contextual Notes

The discussion includes references to specific topics within classical mechanics, but there are no detailed descriptions of the content or structure of the suggested books. The identification of the book remains unresolved.

I'm looking for a book of classical mechanics. I do not remember the title or the author, but has pictures of this kind, if someone could help me find it would be greatly appreciated.

Kind of looks like Kleppner and Kolenkow.
 
I already checked, however the book I want is for analytical mechanics, specifically those problems dealing Lagrange mechanics and the principle of virtual work.

Anyway thank you very much!
 
Shaum's Outlines Theoretical Mechanics probably contains problems and diagrams as you have them
