Nothing is more frustrating for an’ examinee than. the feeling that he/she
Copyright ©2004 by Benchmark Publishing could have done better had there been some review materiais for the most
difficult subject in the Licensure Examinations.
In the Licensure Examinations for Registered Electrical Engineers, one of
the three board subjects, Engineering Sciences and Allied Subjects (ESAS),

this book may be reproduced by any curriculum. What makes such board subject difficult for examinees is that it
means or stored in a database or requires a thorough knowledge of all the different engineering fields of
retrieval system without the prior written interest other than electrical engineering. The difficulty of mastering the
permission from the publisher. theories and formulas of these fields is coupled with the thought that there
are no available standard review materials for such subject.
Recognizing the needs of the examinees, the authors decided to publish a
legitimate reviewer for the most difficult subject in the Electrical Engineers’
Printed in the Republic of the Philippines Board Examinations. The writing of the manuscript began two years ago and
ended just recently. And finally, the almost a thousand page book, 2001
Solved Problems in Engineering Sciences and Allied Subjects reached
fruition.
Published by Benchmark Publishing
This book is divided into 23 chapters. Each chapter represents one area of
interest in the engineering discipline and contains the theory and principle of
the field then followed with problems and questions for practice with

 CHAPTER 1
Engineering Mechanics - Statics
MECHANICS is the oldest branch of physics. It deals with the study of the
bodies & systems and the forces acting on them. This is traditionally
divided into two: .
© Statics the study of bodies at rest or in equilibrium.
® Dynamics the branch of mechanics which deals with the mation of
bodies. This has two distinct parts:

@ Kinematics, which is the study of motion without reference to the

forces which cause the motion, and

&: Kinetics, which relates the action of forces on bodies to their

resulting motion.

PHYSICAL QUANTITIES in MECHANICS

@ Scalar Quantity is a quantity that has magnitude only.
Example opeed, distance, volume, current & etc.

‘® Vector Quantity is a quantity that has’ magnitude and direction.

Ecamgllin force gravity, displacement, acceleration ,» Momentum & etc.

@ FRICTION «Belt Friction

Friction is the force that arises to oppose the motion or impending
motion of two bodies in contact.
Static friction the force between two stationary surfaces in contact that
prevents motion between them. It has a certain maximum value _
called starting friction.
Dynamic or kinetic friction occurs when there is relative (sliding) motion
at the interface of the surfaces in contact.
Rolling Friction occurs when one surface rotates as it moves over the
another surface but does not slip or slide at the point of contact.
