Mechanics is a branch of physical sciences concerned with bodies' state of rest or motion under the action of force. It includes statics and dynamics, dealing with equilibrium and accelerated motion. Basic quantities like length, time, mass, and force are crucial in understanding mechanics. Idealiza
