Corrections to Problems and Soluti ons in the “ FE Exam Review” Section o f the Beer and Johnston ,

Statics/Dynamics Website

During the course of teaching the “Dynamics” portion of a review course for the Fundamentals of Engineering

(FE) Exam, I used and referred my students to the “FE Exam Review” link, that appears once a textbook chapter

is selected, on the following Beer and Johnston, Statics/Dynamics Website:

http://highered.mcgraw-hill.com/sites/0073529400/student_view0/index.html .

The “FE Exam Review” link presents to the student review problems, which the student is asked to solve, and

then the student has to select for each problem the correct answer among multiple choices. I discovered that

several of the problems in the “FE Exam Review” section have errors in their statements, solutions, and multiple-

choice answers. Some of the mistakes in the solutions are quite serious because they involve the application ofwrong physical principles. In this document, I list the errors and corrections. To this end, I have divided the

remainder of the document into two parts: Part 1 and Part 2.

Part 1 of the document lists all the online problems and solutions from Chapters 11 through 17, and Chapter 19. I

do not cover Chapter 18 in my FE exam review class. When a student accesses the problems online, the

problems appear to the student in a random order and without numbers. For this reason, in Part 1, I list all the

problems and I assign numbers to them in a manner similar to that used in the textbook.

Part 2 of the document lists the errors and corrections according to the problem numbering scheme laid out in

Part 1.

My statements above apply equally to the following website:
