Source for HARD Dynamics problems?

Click For Summary
For studying Dynamics, which involves the study of motion and includes concepts like kinematics and kinetics, several recommended resources include Landau's mechanics book, Thornton and Marion's "Classical Dynamics," and Greenwood's "Classical Dynamics." While online sources may be limited, these textbooks are considered comprehensive for exam preparation. Poole and Goldstein's "Classical Mechanics" is also noted as a useful reference. It's important to ensure the chosen material aligns with the specific course requirements, particularly if it is an engineering mechanics course. Utilizing these resources can enhance understanding and problem-solving skills in Dynamics.

This is more of a question for study purposes...I've been studying a little bit for my Dynamics exam, but I just don't feel like doing these problems is going to prepare me for the exam well. Does anyone know of a good online source for dynamics problems?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
What is dynamics? Is that something like classical mechanics?
 
Haha - sorry - it's the study of motion. So kinematics, kinetcs, Newton, etc
 
There is a good mechanics book by Landau that could probably check out from your university/college library.

Thornton and Marion have a pretty good basic book called "Classical Dynamics." I've looked at Poole and Goldstein's "Classical Mechanics," but only as a reference; still it seemed good.

I doubt you will find much of anything online.
 
Haha, those are tough books. Is this an engineering mechanics course?? If so, then i recommend Greenwood's Book Classical Dynamics.
 
The book claims the answer is that all the magnitudes are the same because "the gravitational force on the penguin is the same". I'm having trouble understanding this. I thought the buoyant force was equal to the weight of the fluid displaced. Weight depends on mass which depends on density. Therefore, due to the differing densities the buoyant force will be different in each case? Is this incorrect?
