Subdisciplines of mechanics include. 1  Statics, the study of non-moving bodies under known loads, how forces affect static bodies. 2  Dynamics the study of how forces affect moving bodies. Dynamics includes kinematics (about movement, velocity, and acceleration) and kinetics (about forces and resulting accelerations).
1 Researchers studied a group of men that typically walk approximately 10,000 steps per day (as measured by a pedometer) and asked them to reduce their steps to only 1,350 per day. 2  This meant taking elevators instead of stairs, driving to work and lunch.
@candgriff Without knowing what your stride measurements are, typically five miles is 10,000 steps. So 2000 steps would be one mile. The default is 10,000 steps, as it's what most health professionals say a person should walk each day. Welcome to the forums.
