MECHANICS - Body of Knowledge which Deals with the Study
and Prediction of the State of Rest or Motion of Particles and Bodies
under the action of Forces.
MASS – Mass is a property of matter by which we can compare the action of one body
with that of another.This property manifests itself as a gravitational attraction between
two bodies and provides a quantitative measure of the resistance of matter to a change
in velocity.
• The mutual forces of action and reaction between two particles are equal, opposite, and collinear.
