Mechanics \Me*chan"ics\, n. [Cf. F. m[82]canique.] That science, or branch of applied mathematics, which treats of the action of forces on bodies. Note: That part of mechanics which considers the action of forces in producing rest or equilibrium is called {statics}; that which relates to such action in producing motion is called {dynamics}. The term mechanics includes the action of forces on all bodies, whether solid, liquid, or gaseous.

Hydrodynamics \Hy`dro*dy*nam"ics\, n. [Hydro-, 1 + dynamics: cf. F. hydrodynamique.] That branch of the science of mechanics which relates to fluids, or, as usually limited, which treats of the laws of motion and action of nonelastic fluids, whether as investigated mathematically, or by observation and experiment; the principles of dynamics, as applied to water and other fluids. Note: The word is sometimes used as a general term, including both hydrostatics and hydraulics, together with pneumatics and acoustics. See {Hydraulics}. | |

Mechanics \Me*chan"ics\, n. [Cf. F. m[82]canique.] That science, or branch of applied mathematics, which treats of the action of forces on bodies. Note: That part of mechanics which considers the action of forces in producing rest or equilibrium is called {statics}; that which relates to such action in producing motion is called {dynamics}. The term mechanics includes the action of forces on all bodies, whether solid, liquid, or gaseous. It is sometimes, however, and formerly was often, used distinctively of solid bodies only: The mechanics of liquid bodies is called also {hydrostatics}, or {hydrodynamics}, according as the laws of rest or of motion are considered.

d8Hydroidea \[d8]Hy*droi"de*a\, n. pl. [NL. See {Hydra}, and {-oid}.] (Zo[94]l.) An extensive order of Hydrozoa or Acaleph[91]. [Written also {Hydroida}.] Note: This order includes the hydras and the free-swimming hydromedus[91], together with a great variety of marine attached hydroids, many of which grow up into large, elegantly branched forms, consisting of a vast number of zooids (hydranths, gonophores, etc.), united by hollow stems. All the zooids of a colony are produced from one primary zooid, by successive buddings. The Siphonophora have also been included in this order by some writers. See {Gymnoblastea}, {Hydromedusa}, {Gonosome}, {Gonotheca}. | |
