Excerpt from A Text-Book on Applied Mechanics, Vol. 2: Specially Arranged for the Use of Science and Art, City and Guilds of London Institute, and Other Engineering Students
The rapidity with which Engineering Science and Practice progress, necessitates constant vigilance on the part of the Author who aims at keeping a text-book on Applied Mechanics and Mechanical Engineering abreast of the fast-moving times. In the many important additions to these new Editions, I have endeavoured to select useful practical examples of certain leading principles of Mechanics, as well as of the construction and action of machines which have come to the front since this book was written. I have, therefore, illustrated and described certain prominent applications of electrical machines to the driving of tools and cranes, and compared their results with what was, and still is, common practice. For, all engineers should be familiar with Electrical Transmission of Power and the circumstances under which it can be applied to the best advantage.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the principles of mechanics, using examples from steam and hydraulic engines to illustrate how mechanical science applies to real-world scenarios. The author develops equations from first principles, establishing the relationship between force, mass, velocity, and other quantifiable elements of mechanics. Intended for engineering students as well as those pursuing advanced science certificates, the book situates mechanical principles within the broader context of civil engineering and steam engine technology. In doing so, the author demonstrates the practical applications of mechanics and engineering science beyond theoretical principles. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
