Explanation:

Statics:

  • Fluid statics or hydrostatics is the branch of fluid mechanics in which stresses generated in a fluid system is determined when it is at rest or static condition.
  • Force exerted by the fluid on the surface with which it is in contact is called Total Hydrostatic Force.
  • The point of application of total hydrostatic force on the surface is known as the centre of pressure.

Kinematics:

  • ​​Kinematics is the branch of classical mechanics that describes the motion of points, objects and systems of groups of objects, without reference to the causes of motion (i.e.., forces).
  • The study of kinematics is often referred to as the geometry of motion.

Dynamics:

  • Dynamics: It is that branch of mechanics which deals with the study of the motion of objects taking into account the factors which cause motion.
  • Here, the time factor plays an essential role. The term dynamics is derived from the Greek word 'Dynamics' meaning power.
  • Since force is the cause of motion, therefore dynamics is based on the concept of force.
  • Newton has contributed towards the measurement of force from his three famous laws of motion.
