What is mechanics? Give definitions of its sub-branches.
(N/A) Mechanics: The branch of physics which studies and deals with the motion of objects is called mechanics. It is broadly divided into two sub-branches:
$(1)$ Kinematics: The branch of mechanics that describes the motion of objects without considering the causes of that motion (i.e.,forces) is known as kinematics.
$(2)$ Dynamics: The branch of mechanics that describes the motion of objects by considering the causes of that motion (i.e.,forces) is known as dynamics.

View Solution$A$ balloon is moving up in air vertically above a point $A$ on the ground. When it is at a height $h_{1}$,a girl standing at a distance $d$ (point $B$) from $A$ sees it at an angle $45^{\circ}$ with respect to the vertical. When the balloon climbs up a further height $h_{2}$,it is seen at an angle $60^{\circ}$ with respect to the vertical if the girl moves further by a distance $2.464d$ (point $C$). Then the height $h_{2}$ is (given $\tan 30^{\circ} = 0.5774$):
