Definition of “Mechanics”
Science concerned with the motion of bodies under
the action of forces, including the special case in
which a body remains at rest. Of first concern in the
problem of motion are the forces that bodies exert
on one another. This leads to the study of such topics
as gravitation, electricity, and magnetism, according
to the nature of the forces involved. Given the forces,
one can seek the manner in which bodies move
under the action of forces; this is the subject matter
of mechanics proper.
