Here's why:
* Mechanics deals with the motion and forces of objects. Volume is a key property of objects that influences how they interact with forces and how they move.
* Volume is a measure of the amount of three-dimensional space an object occupies.
While volume is also used in other branches of science like chemistry (measuring the volume of liquids and gases) and biology (measuring the volume of organs or cells), its fundamental concept and application are rooted in physics.
