Laws of Mechanics for Everyone
Description
This is Revised edition of book and contains fundamental aspects of mechanics (Conservation Laws) and try to build in an approach for formulation of aspects of physics that requires classical mechanical approach.
Book narrates a meaningful story behind how and why the quantities (Position, Velocity, Acceleration, Mass, Charge, Energies (KE, PE, ME, Thermal Energy etc), Momentum, Angular Momentum, Moment) are defined the way they are and applies the understanding to Inverse square law interaction and spring law of force to obtain results for planetary laws of motion and SHM.
The book has 4 parts.
Philosophical Part (Chapter 1&2)
Mathematical Part (3-7)
Classical Mechanics Part (8-12)
Application part (13,14)
Every single mathematical calculation step is clearly explained, including with any terms that involve other mathematical concepts. The book present ideas and explanations in a descriptive way using a logical and intuitive approach in addition to providing a physical representation of the idea to ensure that the reader can visualise what he or she is reading and be able to evaluate the ideas and explanations from their own perspective, resulting in a pictorial and clearer way of representing ideas in the reader's mind.
The book has almost no prerequisites (for Secondary school students) although having a basic exposure to Calculus and Vector Algebra can be useful.
Good understanding of this book can boost the learning of other topics of physics.
