Classical mechanics problem book

It starts off gentle and gradually builds up the difficulty level. It also has a good mix of conceptual and computational problems.In summary, for a first-year student in classical mechanics, the book "Classical Mechanics with Problems and Solutions" by Morin is recommended. It covers a range of difficulty levels and includes both conceptual and computational problems. It can be found on gigapedia.com as a PDF file. Other recommended books are "Classical Dynamics: A Contemporary Approach" by Jose and Saletan, and "Mathematical Methods of Classical Mechanics."

I'm on first semester, having classic mechanics cource and i need some good problem book with problems, with to be solved require more than just knowing forumula.

I think you probably want the book "3000 Solved Problems in Physics" instead of the Goldstein book.

Classical Mechanics with Problems and Solutions by Morin is what you're looking for, trust me.

Get it off gigapedia.com, there's a .pdf file somewhere.

What level of CM are you at.
Classical Dynamics: A Contemporary Approach-Jose/Saletan has many challenging problems in addition to having a good exposition.

Also, if you can work through the holes of Mathematical Methods of Classical Mechanics, then you do not need problems.

For a beginning undergrad, I second the recommendation of Morin.
 

FAQ: Classical mechanics problem book

What is classical mechanics?

Classical mechanics is a branch of physics that deals with the motion of objects and the forces that cause this motion.

What is a problem book in classical mechanics?

A problem book in classical mechanics is a collection of exercises and problems that cover various topics in classical mechanics. It is often used as a supplement to a textbook for practice and to enhance understanding of the subject.

How can a classical mechanics problem book be helpful?

A classical mechanics problem book can be helpful in developing problem-solving skills and applying theoretical concepts to real-world situations. It can also aid in preparing for exams and improving overall understanding of the subject.

What topics are typically covered in a classical mechanics problem book?

Topics covered in a classical mechanics problem book may include kinematics, dynamics, energy, momentum, rotational motion, and oscillations. It may also cover more advanced topics such as Lagrangian and Hamiltonian mechanics.

Is a classical mechanics problem book suitable for self-study?

Yes, a classical mechanics problem book can be used for self-study as it typically includes solutions or hints for the problems, allowing individuals to check their work and learn at their own pace. However, it is recommended to have a basic understanding of the subject before attempting to use a problem book for self-study.
