4. Greece
Origin of word
Mechanics
Mechanics is derived from Greek
word Mekhanikos (an engineer).

5. What is mechanics?
Mechanics is a branch of physical science that deals with forces and their
effect on objects.

6. MECHANICS
Branches of mechanics
Quantum
mechanics
Relativistic
mechanics
Newtonian
mechanics
It deals with the objects moving
with velocities comparable to the
velocity of light.
It deals with the behavior of
matter and energy at atomic and
sub-atomic scale.
It deals with the effect of energy
and forces on everyday objects.

7. Concept of Matter
Matter
Anything that has mass
and takes up space
Solids
Substances that
cannot flow
Fluids
Substances that
can flow easily
Solid
Liquid
Gas
