Book Description
Classical mechanics is concerned with the study of how objects move when subjected to different forces, as well as the forces acting on non-moving objects. The laws of classical mechanics enable us to calculate the trajectories of baseballs, bullets, spacecraft, and planets as they orbit the sun. Even for someone who has no professional reason to care about any of these things, there is a strong rationale for studying classical mechanics; It is by far the best example of a theory that explains a great number of phenomena on the basis of a few simple principles. Anyone who studies mechanics seriously, even at an introductory level, will find this study a real intellectual adventure. This book covers the basic topics and fundamental concepts of mechanics. Each chapter includes a number of examples; They are issues related to the material presented in the chapter, in addition to the solutions to those issues and some related discussions.
