Engineering Mechanics: Statics

A mechanic fixes machines. They usually spend a year in trade school learning how to do that. A mechanical engineer DESIGNS the machines the mechanic fixes . They spend at least four years in university studying lots of math and physics and engineering.

The primary purpose of the study of engineering mechanics is to develop the capacity to predict the effects of force and motion while carrying out the creative design functions of engineering .

Engineering mechanics is divided into two parts, the first one is statics and the second one is dynamics .

Mechanics may be divided into three branches: statics, which deals with forces acting on and in a body at rest; kinematics, which describes the possible motions of a body or system of bodies; and kinetics, which attempts to explain or predict the motion that will occur in a given situation.
