About This Book

Classical mechanics is a fundamental branch of physics that deals with the motion of objects under the influence of forces. Developed primarily by Sir Isaac Newton in the 17th century, it provides the foundation for understanding physical systems, from everyday objects to planetary motion. The principles of classical mechanics are essential in engineering, astronomy, and many scientific disciplines. Classical mechanics also includes concepts of energy and momentum. The conservation of energy and momentum plays a crucial role in analyzing collisions, motion, and oscillations. Additionally, the study of rotational motion and gravitational forces helps explain planetary movements and mechanical systems. Although classical mechanics accurately describes macroscopic objects, it is limited at atomic and relativistic scales, where quantum mechanics and relativity take over. Nevertheless, it remains a cornerstone of physics, essential for engineering, robotics, and space exploration. This book provides a comprehensive exploration of classical mechanics, covering fundamental principles, laws of motion, and their applications in real-world physics and engineering. Contents: 1. Introduction,2. Principles and Applications of Classical Statistical Mechanics, 3. Gravitational Forces and Motion, 4. Newton’s Laws of Motion, 5. Conservation Laws and Energy, 6. Rigid Body Dynamics, 7. Work, Energy, and Power, 8. Conservation of Momentum and Collisions, 9. Theory and Applications of Classical Wave Mechanics.
