Abstract

This article analyzes innovations in the field of physics during the ‘Abbasid era when the Banu Saljuq was in control of politics and the military. Basically, physics was divided into two branches, mechanics and optics. This article only touches innovations in mechanics as it was during the Bani Saljuq rule that many innovations took place in the area of mechanics in various aspects, including weight measurement and specific gravity of a substance. The most prominent figure of that time was alKhazini.
