Into. to stra mechanics 1
Mechanics deals with the motion and rest of bodies under forces. It has developed from analyzing rigid bodies under gravity to more complex systems like robots, aircraft, and spacecraft experiencing various forces. Mechanics is divided into statics which studies equilibrium, and dynamics which studies motion. Fundamental concepts include length, time, mass, displacement, velocity, acceleration, momentum, and force. Forces can be represented graphically and act through a line of action with a magnitude and direction. Newton's laws form the basis of mechanics.
