Re: Mechanics
Are you in the right thread?
In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
If it ain't broke, fix it until it is.
Always satisfy the Prime Directive of getting the right answer above all else.

Re: Mechanics
There's nothing wrong with using abbreviations. Thanks for explaining though.

Yes, I was mentioning some of my favorite physics books. They have got mechanics sections in them.

Have 10.2 yet?

Re: Mechanics
Mathematica? What is the difference between 10.0 and 10.2?

Re: Mechanics
hi math9maniac
1) Statics - Scalar and vector quantities (I guess I have some knowledge about this one), coplanar forces acting at a point, equilibrium of particles, moment of forces
2) Concepts of motion - displacement, (relative) velocity, and acceleration; equations of motion; Newton's laws of motion; momentum and impulse; friction; motion along inclined planes; further applications of Newton's laws of motion
I think I can help with all of this but I agree with bobbym. It's a lot easier if you post a question. Otherwise we don't know where to start ... could start with stuff that is easy for you ... or jump in too deep and you are still lost.
