An interesting problem...

Euler's disk...

Mechanics is a science that deals with motion and deformation of bodies under the action of forces. Its essential ingredients are axioms, theorems, proofs, definitions, principles, but at the heart of it, what mechanics really consist of, are problems and solutions.
