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

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

because of the fact no learn is ever and not using a bias or an time table once you get appropriate all the way down to it. maximum of them anywasy. although, God gifted us with common experience, and that i take advantage of mine. So i firmly have faith the dissimilar study are precise or a minimum of close. there are maximum of adoptees who DO have those problems that it would be stupid to brush aside the study and peoples very own stories. i've got in no way tried suicide, yet i've got common some who've. regrettably, one succeeded. And he wasn't accompanied.

The subject fall under machine design. (lifting or haulage m/c.)
in mechanical engg. discipline. The principle or theory are explained in mechanics/ dynamics of machinery.

These simple machines pretty much have to do with physics
