When Einstein saw that Newtonian mechamics was insufficient, he first began his scientific work. It could not make the laws of mechanics agree with the laws of the electromagnetic field.

What does the bold part 'it' mean?

Thanks.

It refers to Newtonian mechamics. The second sentence is explaining why it (Newtonian mechamics) was insufficient. Hope this helps!
