Recommedation for Classical Mechanics book

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers around the search for a suitable classical mechanics book to prepare for an upcoming competition. The participant has previously ranked third in a similar competition and seeks a resource that emphasizes solved examples rather than theoretical explanations. Key topics for the competition include kinematics, dynamics, conservation of energy, Newton's gravity, fluid statics, fluid dynamics, and thermodynamics. The participant has already reviewed three books and is looking for a more challenging option.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of classical mechanics principles
  • Familiarity with kinematics and dynamics
  • Knowledge of thermodynamics and fluid mechanics
  • Experience with problem-solving in physics
NEXT STEPS
  • Research "Classical Mechanics: A Problem Solving Approach" by David Morin
  • Explore "Problems and Solutions in Classical Mechanics" by A. P. French
  • Investigate "University Physics with Modern Physics" by Young and Freedman for additional examples
  • Look into online resources or forums for additional solved problems in classical mechanics
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for students preparing for physics competitions, educators seeking advanced problem-solving resources, and anyone looking to deepen their understanding of classical mechanics through practical examples.

There will be a competition in classical mechanics and I need a good book to prepare. The competiton was also held last year and i ended up thir, so I dear to say that I know classical mechanics very well. The competition will include kinematics, dynamics, law of conservation of energy, Newton's gravity, fluid statics, fluid dynamics and thermodynamics. I don't need a textbook with explained principles, I just need a book with lot of solved examples. I already went through three such books and I want another one, possibly a little harder. Thanks in advance :D.
