Excerpt from A Treatise on the Theory of Friction
Proceeding. To investigate this question, the Author has given some examples, in which it admits a simple solution. The general problem is then examined by the help of certain analytical Lemmas, and rules are given for its solution. But the great length of the process would make this solution very difficult, except for the simplest cases.
A special section is devoted to extreme positions of a solid body.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a comprehensive study of the theory of friction, a force that affects the motion of objects and is crucial in understanding mechanics. The author has carefully laid the theoretical foundations, starting from basic principles and progressing to more complex applications. The author places friction within the broader context of mechanics, emphasizing its significance and summarizing the historical development of its understanding. The book also delves into the nuances of static and dynamic friction, exploring the differences in their effects on objects at rest and in motion. The author masterfully explains the concept of the "cone of resistance" and introduces the "coefficient of friction" to mathematically describe the relationship between the force of friction and the normal force. These concepts are essential for understanding how friction affects the movement of objects on various surfaces. Overall, this book offers an in-depth exploration of the theory of friction, making it an invaluable resource for anyone seeking to deepen their understanding of mechanics and the forces that govern the motion of objects.
