Essential Classical Mechanics

Classical mechanics is the branch of physics that focuses on the motion of macroscopic objects, including projectiles and celestial bodies such as planets, stars, galaxies, and spacecraft. It provides the foundational framework for studying large objects moving at speeds much lower than the speed of light. In classical mechanics, objects are modeled as point particles, defined by characteristics such as mass, position, and the forces acting upon them. The primary subdivisions of classical mechanics are statics, dynamics, and kinematics. Mathematically, classical mechanics is categorized into Newtonian, Lagrangian, and Hamiltonian mechanics. This book is a compilation of chapters that discuss the most vital concepts in the field of classical mechanics. It includes topics, ranging from the basic to the most complex theories and principles in the field. In this book, constant effort has been made to make the understanding of the difficult concepts of classical mechanics as easy and informative as possible, for the readers.
