Mechanics: Statics and Kinematics

Mechanics is the branch of physics that deals with the study of motion. Mechanics is divided into statics, which deals with sets of forces in equilbrium and kinematics, which deals with dynamic forces acting on objects. No matter what your interest in science or engineering, mechanics is the subject that is revisted in the analysis of many physical phenomena.
