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.
