Synopsis
ANALYTICAL MECHANICS INTRODUCTION. 1. Scope and Aim of Mechanics.-Mechanics is the science of motion. It has a twofold object: First, to describe the motions of bodies and to interpret them by means of a few laws and principles, which arc generalizations derived from observation and experience. Second, to predict the motion of bodies for all times when the circumstances of the motion for any one instant arc given, in addition to the special laws which govern the motion. The present tendency in science is toward regarding all physical phenomena as manifestations of motion. Complicated and apparently dissimilar phenomena arc being ex-plained by the interactions and motions of electrons, atoms, molecules, cells, and other particles. The kinetic theory of heat, the wave theories of sound and light, and the electron theory of electricity arc examples which illustrate the tendency toward a mechanical interpretation of the physical universe. This tendency not only emphasizes the funda

Analytical Mechanics for Students of Physics and Engineering (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fundamental principles of mechanics, offering a fresh perspective on this cornerstone of physics. The author, drawing upon a rich history of thought, presents a unified approach to the subject, emphasizing the concept of "action and reaction" as the central organizing principle. This principle, explored through concepts like force, torque, and kinetic reaction, provides a comprehensive framework for understanding both equilibrium and motion. The book challenges conventional approaches to Newton's laws of motion, which have been subject to criticism by renowned thinkers such as Heinrich Hertz and Ernst Mach. Instead, it proposes a single, overarching law that encompasses the dynamics of particles and rigid bodies. This approach allows for a more streamlined and coherent understanding of mechanics, gradually introducing complexity while maintaining a clear logical progression. The book further explores the interconnectedness of different concepts in mechanics, demonstrating how principles like conservation of energy and momentum are direct consequences of the law of action and reaction. Through this lens, it illuminates the equivalence and alternative nature of these fundamental principles, enhancing the reader's understanding of their applications. The author's unique approach to mechanics, rooted in a single unifying principle, provides a profound and insightful framework for understanding the intricate world of motion and equilibrium.
