.... in virtually all the situations that confront an engineer, mechanics
lie at the core of much engineering analysis. In fact, no physical science
plays a greater role in engineering than does mechanics, and it is the oldest of
all physical sciences. The writings of Archimedes covering bouyancy and the
lever were recorded before 200 B.C. Our modern knowledge of gravity and motion
was established by Isaac Newton (1642-1727).
