Excerpt from Syllabus of Elementary Dynamics, Vol. 1: With an Appendix on the Meanings of the Symbols in Physical Equations

Motion when considered in itself, apart from the physical nature of the moving object and the forces which produce the motion, forms the subject of the preliminary Science of Kinematics.

Dynamics naturally divides itself into different branches, according to the greater or less simplicity of the masses or systems of matter, on and between which the forces are supposed to act.

Excerpt from Syllabus of Elementary Dynamics, Vol. 1: With an Appendix on the Meanings of the Symbols in Physical Equations

The Science of Dynamics treats of Force, Matter and Motion, their measures and mutual relations.

Motion when considered in itself, apart from the physical nature of the moving object and the forces which produce the motion, forms the subject of the preliminary Science of Kinematics.

Dynamics naturally divides itself into different branches, according to the greater or less simplicity of the masses or systems of matter, on and between which the forces are supposed to act.

1. The simplest case is that of a single particle, or mass of matter of insensible dimensions, and therefore such that it may be treated as a geometrical point.

2. Next in simplicity is the case of a (so-called) Rigid body, or a mass whose position (like that of a definite geometrical figure) is determined when the positions of three of its points (not in the same straight line) are determined.

3. Then follow cases of greater complexity, according to the supposed nature of the forces connecting the parts of the system. - Flexible Strings, Elastic Strings, Fluid Masses, Elastic Solids, &c.

Each branch of Dynamics is conveniently subdivided into two parts, Statics and Kinetics.

In Statics are considered all those relations of the forces acting on the system, which are independent of the element of time. It includes, therefore, the case of the system remaining at rest or moving with steady (i.e. unchanging) motion, in which cases the forces are said to be in equilibrium.
