Description

The field of study known as mechanics studies is how physical objects respond to forces and displacements as well as how those objects' actions affect their surroundings. The writings of Aristotle and Archimedes in Ancient Greece are where the scientific discipline first emerged. Scientists like Galileo, Kepler, and notably Newton set the groundwork for what is now referred to as classical mechanics during the early modern era. This area of classical physics is concerned with particles that are either at rest or travelling at speeds that are considerably slower than the speed of light. It can also be described as a field of study that studies how objects move and are affected by forces. Chemical engineers must be knowledgeable in fluid mechanics because the majority of chemical processing is done either entirely or partially in the fluid phase. This book offers a fundamental, hands-on introduction to engineering mechanics and is tailored to students who require a solid foundation in the field to fully engage in their engineering course.
