Excerpt from The Elements of Statics and Dynamics

The science which treats of the action of force on bodies in motion is called Dynamics. In the more modern system of nomenclature which is gradually gaining general acceptance, the science which treats of the action of force on bodies is called Dynamics, and it has two subdivisions, Statics and Kinetics, treating of the action of forces on bodies which are at rest and in motion respectively.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book, first published in 1890, offers a comprehensive exploration of statics, a branch of physics concerned with the forces acting on objects at rest. The author delves into fundamental concepts like the composition and resolution of forces, parallel forces, moments, and couples. The book also explores the important concept of equilibrium, examining the conditions necessary for a body to remain at rest under the influence of multiple forces. The text is enriched with numerous examples and exercises, making it an ideal resource for junior students seeking a thorough understanding of statics. The book's explanations are clear and concise, and it follows a systematic approach to introduce the principles of statics, grounded in the work of earlier pioneers like Stevinus of Bruges. It features detailed explanations of key concepts, such as the Parallelogram of Forces and the Triangle of Forces, alongside illustrative diagrams that help visualize complex relationships between forces. The authorâ� �s goal is to equip students with a solid foundation in the practical applications of statics, providing insights into the mechanics of levers, pulleys, inclined planes, and other simple machines. The book also delves into the complex topic of friction, offering a comprehensive analysis of its effects on equilibrium and the efficiency of machines. This book serves as a valuable tool for aspiring engineers and scientists, providing a robust foundation in the principles of statics and its role in understanding the world around us. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781331943105_0
