The Essential Elements of Practical Mechanics, Based on the Principle of Work: Designed for Engineering Students (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
This book explores the principles behind the concept of work in physics and mechanics. Beginning with the fundamental premise that work involves both a unit of force and a unit of distance, the author illustrates how work is measured by a unit known as a "foot-pound", using examples from everyday activities such as raising a weight or exerting pressure against a surface. The book goes on to explain the concept of work in the context of machines like levers, wheels, pulleys, inclined planes, wedges, and screws. It also delves into concepts related to work in the context of energy, such as the principle of virtual velocities, the concept of a center of gravity, and the calculation of units of work in a rotating body. The book concludes by examining the application of work principles in various real-world scenarios, including the operation of steam engines and the use of the hydrostatic press.
