Mathematical Elements of Natural Philosophy, Confirm’d by Experiments, Vol. 2: Or an Introduction to Sir Isaac Newton's Philosophy (Classic Reprint) - Hardcover
Synopsis
This book is a comprehensive examination of the properties of fluids, focusing on air and other elastic fluids. The author begins by establishing that air is a fluid and possesses the properties of other fluids, but also has the unique property of elasticity, which allows it to take up a greater or lesser space according to the force applied to it. The author explores the relationship between the elasticity of air and its density, demonstrating that the elastic force is inversely proportional to the distance between the particles of air. This relationship has important implications for the behavior of air in different situations, such as when it is compressed or expanded. The book also includes a discussion of the effects of heat on the elasticity of air, as well as the effects of gravity on the density of air. The author concludes by exploring the applications of the principles of air elasticity to a variety of practical problems, such as the design of air pumps and the study of sound. Overall, this book provides a thorough and accessible introduction to the properties of air and other elastic fluids, making it a valuable resource for students and researchers alike.
