Abstract:This chapter introduces statics and dynamics, applying them to environmental and engineering systems. Environmental mechanics and forces are discussed regarding both natural and human-designed systems. Fundamental concepts of physics, such as scalar and vector quantities, mechanics and kinetics, and forces are discussed.
