The word mechanics, though it indicated of old the study of machines, has long since outgrown this limited meaning and now embraces the entire study of moving bodies, both large and small, suns and satellites, as well as atoms and mole cules. The phenomena of nature present to us a world of change through ceaseless motion. Mechanics is the Science of Motion as the physicist Kirchhoff has defined it, and has all natural phenomena for its field of investigation. Why things happen and how they happen are the questions that here present themselves.
