What is currently being studied in science?

Levers, Pulleys, Wedge...What part of science are these studied?

  • I'm searching for information and books on simple machines such as levers, pulleys, inclines, wedges, etc. and was wondering if someone could enlighten me as to what science this is studied in?..Mechanics?..Mechanical Engineering?..Physics? I'm stumped at the moment as it seems that all the above mentioned categories involves these simple machines, but I'd like to find a narrower category that these fit in so I can search for books on the subject. I'm especially interested in moving very heavy objects by hand with the use of pulleys, inclines and levers, and I'm being overwhelmed with search results online. Any suggestions? Thanks

  • Answer:

    My own first exposure to a text that covered these was in high school physics.
