The
principles of Mechanics are exactly applicable to machines, it may be a
simple machine such as a liver or bicycle or a machine as complex as an
aircraft. When Mechanics is applied in Engineering, design and analysis
of mechanisms and machine, it is called as Engineering Mechanics.
When
bodies interact and forces act between them there are two
possibilities, they may move or they may remain static. The branch of
Engineering Mechanics dealing with the motion of bodies is called as
Dynamics and the other branch is called as Statics, in which we study
balance and equilibrium of bodies.
Throughout
the study of Engineering Mechanics the principles of three Newton's
Laws of Motion are used invariably. So complete understanding of these
laws is a must. Along with this, as the physical quantities encountered
during engineering analyses are mostly vectors, the adequate knowledge
of vector algebra is required.
