Experimental physics is an
important part of the education of anyone interested in science or
engineering, serving as one of the fundamental fields of knowledge for
understanding how the world around us functions. This textbook seeks to
present the topics usually covered in an experimental physics course
for aspiring scientists and engineers in a concise but comprehensive
manner. The book is organized into ten chapters on different topics,
including work and energy, gravity, relative motions, and fluid
mechanics. Proof of the most important theorems is given, and
additional information is provided to stimulate the curiosity of the
students. At the end of each chapter, performed exercises and exercises
with solutions are offered to illustrate the chapter's points and make
their importance even clearer. Based on the author's teaching notes
from his own lectures, this book proves invaluable to anyone with an
interest in developing a clearer understanding of such topics as
mechanics and thermodynamics.
