If we try to slide two objects past each other, a small amount of force will result in no motion. The force of friction is greater than the applied force. This is static friction. (Figure 1.3) If we apply a little more force, the object ‘breaks free’ and slides, although we still need to apply force to keeps the object sliding. This is kinetic friction (Figure 1.4). We need not apply quite as much force to keep the object sliding as we originally needed to break free from the static friction.

Celsius was the first to suggest a connection between the aurora borealis and changes in the magnetic field of the Earth. At Nuremberg in 1733 he published a collection of 316 observations of the aurora borealis made by himself and others. In astronomy, Celsius began the first attempt to measure the magnitude of starlight with a tool other than the human eye.

What tasks do mechanical engineers do?

At the age of 14 Young had learned Greek and Latin and was acquainted with French, Italian, Hebrew, German, Chaldean, Syriac, Samaritan, Arabic, Persian, Turkish and Amharic. Young’s modulus relates the stress (pressure) in a body to its associated strain (change in length as a ratio of the original length). For the first time it allowed prediction of the strain in a component subject to a known stress (and vice versa). Young’s modulus depends only on the material, not its geometry, thus allowing a revolution in engineering strategies. Classical thermodynamics is concerned with the macroscopic behaviour of thermodynamic systems, while statistical thermodynamics is concerned with the behaviour of systems at the molecular or atomic level. Chemical thermodynamics, meanwhile, is concerned with the thermodynamic properties of chemical reactions. The Sakia was developed in the Kingdom of Kush during the 4th century BC. It relied on animal power reducing the tow on the requirement of human energy. [9] Reservoirs in the form of Hafirs were developed in Kush to store water and boost irrigation. [10] Bloomeries and blast furnaces were developed during the seventh century BC in Meroe. [11] [12] [13] [14] Kushite sundials applied mathematics in the form of advanced trigonometry. [15] [16] Instructions for manufacturing a part must be fed to the necessary machinery, either manually, through programmed instructions, or through the use of a computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) or combined CAD/CAM program. Optionally, an engineer may also manually manufacture a part using the technical drawings. However, with the advent of computer numerically controlled (CNC) manufacturing, parts can now be fabricated without the need for constant technician input. Manually manufactured parts generally consist of spray coatings, surface finishes, and other processes that cannot economically or practically be done by a machine. In most developed countries, certain engineering tasks, such as the design of bridges, electric power plants, and chemical plants, must be approved by a professional engineer or a chartered engineer. "Only a licensed engineer, for instance, may prepare, sign, seal and submit engineering plans and drawings to a public authority for approval, or to seal engineering work for public and private clients." [40] This requirement can be written into state and provincial legislation, such as in the Canadian provinces, for example the Ontario or Quebec's Engineer Act. [41]

Nuclear engineers require mathematics to conduct research on nuclear engineering problems or apply principles and theory of nuclear science to problems concerned with release, control and utilization of nuclear energy and nuclear waste disposal. Newton developed a theory of colour based on the observation that a prism decomposes white light into the many colours that form the visible spectrum. He also formulated an empirical law of cooling and studied the speed of sound. In mathematics, Newton shares the credit with Leibniz for the development of differential and integral calculus.

Energy: In the energy industry, mechanical engineering is used to design and develop energy systems, such as power plants and r enewable energy systems. Mechanical engineers in this field work on everything from thermodynamics and fluid dynamics to materials science and control systems.Mechanics is, in the most general sense, the study of forces and their effect upon matter. Typically, engineering mechanics is used to analyze and predict the acceleration and deformation (both elastic and plastic) of objects under known forces (also called loads) or stresses.
