- 1. Mechanics is the branch of physics concerned with the behavior of physical bodies when subjected to forces or displacements, and the subsequent effects of such bodies on their environment. It involves the study of motion, forces, energy, and interactions between objects. Mechanics encompasses various subfields such as classical mechanics, quantum mechanics, and fluid mechanics, each dealing with different aspects of physical phenomena. Understanding mechanics is essential in many scientific and engineering disciplines, as it provides the foundation for analyzing and predicting the behavior of systems in the physical world.
