Mechanics Questions & Answers

Monday, 6 July 2015

Mechanics is a major part of physics and an area of science concerned with the behaviour of physical bodies when subjected to forces or displacements, and the subsequent effects of the bodies on their environment. It has 2 major parts classical mechanics which deals with Isaac Newton's laws of motion and quantum mechanics.
