About this Item

Print on Demand. This book explores the dynamics of rotation, a branch of physics that delves into the motion of rigid bodies around a fixed axis. The author aims to make this complex subject accessible to students of physics and engineering who may lack extensive mathematical training. Drawing upon simple experiments, the author presents a clear and intuitive approach to understanding concepts like torque, rotational inertia, and angular momentum. Instead of relying solely on mathematical derivations, the book encourages readers to grasp these concepts through direct observation and practical applications, offering a refreshing perspective on the subject. Through numerous examples and exercises, the author guides readers through the principles of rotational motion, revealing the intricate relationships between forces, masses, and accelerations within spinning systems. The book's emphasis on experiential learning and practical understanding makes it an invaluable resource for anyone seeking a clear and engaging introduction to the fascinating world of rotating bodies. 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.
