2. 1. Concept of mechanics Mechanics
Mechanics, an area of physics, is a natural science that explains and predicts the external force to stop or move the object.

3. 2. History of mechanics History
From prehistoric times, human beings have already used simple machines such as bevels, wheels, levers and pulley as tools.

4. 2. History of mechanics Archimedes’s spiral water pump
A water pump designed by Archimedes in ancient Greece.
When the shaft is turned, the spiral connected to the shaft raises the water.

5. 2. History of mechanics Ibn al-Haytham(965 ~ 1040)
Development of experimental control methods
Creative method of using tool → Knowledge of nature order
Al-Haytham’s “position paper” → The dynamics and kinematics theory of object motion → The concept of al-Haytham’s inertia has not been confirmed experimentally

6. 2. History of mechanics Galileo Galilei(1564 ~ 1642)
Based his scientific hypotheses on observation and experimentatin.
Conclusively refuted Aristotelian ideology
Proposed the Law of Inertia, which later became known as Newton’s 1st law of Motion
Predict the motion of an object using a mathematical model
“All truths are easy to understand once they are discovered; the point is to descover them.”
-Galileo Galilei-

7. 2. History of mechanics Isaac Newton (1642 ~ 1727) Classical mechanics
Establish classical mechanics
Classical mechanics (=Newton’s mechanics) → Physics that explains the relationship between force and motion acting on an onject → Static + Dynamics
The starting point of Newton’s mechanics is Kepler’s planetary motion
Newton’s law of motion
1st law : The law of inertia
2nd law : The law of acceleration
3rd law : The law of action reaction
“If I have seen further than others, it is by standing upon the shoulders of giants”
-Isaac Newton-

8. 2. History of mechanics Albert Einstein (1879 ~ 1955)
Relativity theory
Physics theory on time and space
Special Relativity + General relativity
The theory that natural laws are invariant to inertial systems and that time and space are relative to observers
“It’s not that I’m so smart,
It’s just that I stay with problems loger.”
-Albert Einstein-

9. “Science can’t solve the ultimate mystery of nature.
2. History of mechanics
Max Planck (1858 ~ 1947)
Quantum mechanics
quantum mechanics that deals with the shape of a microscopic system
Quantum mechanics generalizes classical theory, including all mechanics and electromagnetism
The theory that natural laws are invariant to inertial systems and that time and space are relative to observers
“Science can’t solve the ultimate mystery of nature.
And that is because, in the last analysis, we ourselves are a part of the mystery that we are trying to solve”
-Max Planck-
