Synopsis

Explore the science of air resistance through original experiments.

This edition presents Francis Bashforth's revised account of experiments using the Bashforth Chronograph to measure how air slows projectile motion, with practical applications to calculating trajectories in Bernoulli’s method.

The work collects detailed observations, data, and derived results that link empirical tests to mathematical models of flight. It sheds light on early methods for predicting paths of projectiles by combining experimental results with theory.

• See how a chronograph-based setup captured measurements for fast-moving projectiles
• Examine data tables and calculations used to model air resistance
• Learn how the results were applied to trajectory calculations
• Gain insight into 19th-century dynamics and scientific methods

Ideal for readers of the history of science, engineering, and applied physics.
