Engineering Introductory book for mechanics of machines?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on the complexities of learning kinematics and dynamics of rigid bodies, specifically addressing topics such as relative velocity, acceleration methods, and the dynamics of rigid links, including gears and cams. A participant expresses difficulty with a specific textbook, suggesting alternatives like "Concepts of Physics-1" by H.C. Verma and "ABC of Physics," both available on Amazon, as potentially more accessible resources for understanding these concepts.

Topics covered include links, mechanisms, Kinematics of rigid bodies : Relative Velocity and Acceleration method, Instantaneous Centre Method, Dynamics of Rigid Links, Gears, Cams etc

I cuurently have this book : http://www.amazon.com/dp/0195154525/?tag=pfamazon01-20

and find it very difficult to learn.

You can try"Concepts of Physics-1" by H.C.Verma or " ABC of physics" . This are all available in amazon.
 
TL;DR Summary: Book after Sakurai Modern Quantum Physics I am doing a comprehensive reading of sakurai and I have solved every problem from chapters I finished on my own, I will finish the book within 2 weeks and I want to delve into qft and other particle physics related topics, not from summaries but comprehensive books, I will start a graduate program related to cern in 3 months, I alreadily knew some qft but now I want to do it, hence do a good book with good problems in it first...
This is part 2 of my thread Collection of Free Online Math Books and Lecture Notes Here, we will consider physics and mathematical methods for physics resources. Now, this is a work in progress. Please feel free comment regarding items you want to be included, or if a link is broken etc. Note: I will not post links to other collections, each link will point you to a single item. :book:📚📒 [FONT=trebuchet ms]Introductory college/university physics College Physics, Openstax...
