The Book of Forces

by Metin Bektas

Forces make the world go 'round - literally. This book provides a quick and easy-to-understand introduction to the quantity force and an overview of the many types of forces that shape our universe. Besides enlightening and down-to-earth explanations, you'll find plenty of detailed exercises demonstrating how the concepts and formulas can be applied to real-world situations. Knowledge of high school algebra is sufficient to follow the calculations. For more information, check out the table of contents.

From the author of "Great Formulas Explained", "Antimatter Propulsion" and "Physics! In Quantities and Examples".

This is a great little book for anyone with an interest in the basic engineering principles of forces. It uses simple language and simple examples to illustrate the simplicity of the fundamental concepts of forces. This is a great help for students, a good refresher for industry professionals, and a neat resource for non-engineers with an interest in physics, science, and/or engineering.

Thanks to the author for this little jewel.

that my best book

um nível bem introdutório mesmo. sou suspeita pra falar, mas as explicações e exemplos foram intuitivos o suficiente pra esse propósito. só acho estranho o uso da força centrífuga ao invés da centrípeta - imagino que seja mais fácil de entender, mas me parece um desserviço a longo prazo

This author has the ability of explaining complex subjects on a step by step easy to understand way. This book is about basic physics, but understanding (and getting to like) these topics are essential for further study. This book is like a review of basic information and some other forces we do not hear of so often.

A quick way to learn about forces in physics

Simple formulas, well explained in a practical way. Shows the enormous reach of the power of physics theories in simple examples.
