In this part . . .
Understand the laws of physics relevant to biomechanics so you can use the ideals of forces and motion to study many biophysical systems.
Familiarize yourself with rigid bodies, in particular combined with static equilibrium, and all the related principles.
Find out about energy, work, and power, and the many biomechanical applications when these concepts are combined with conservation laws.
Discover many physical principles that have applications in many fields of science, find out the limits on how large animals and plants can get, and visualize the human body as a machine.
Grasp the dynamics and related physical properties ...
