Applied mechanics is a branch of mechanics that deals with the behavior of physical systems under the action of forces. It combines principles of physics and mathematics to analyze and solve problems related to motion and forces in various real-world contexts. Applied mechanics is crucial in fields such as engineering (mechanical, civil, aerospace, etc.), biomechanics, and materials science. Key areas within applied mechanics include: 1. **Statics**: The study of forces in equilibrium where objects are at rest or moving at a constant velocity.
