Excerpt from Elements of Dynamic, Vol. 1: An Introduction to the Study of Motion and Rest in Solid and Fluid Bodies; Kinematic; Book IV. And Appendix
I have sufficiently explained in my letter to Mrs Clifford (see Mathematical Papers) the reasons which led me to accept the responsibility of editing the following fragments. A few words as to the fragments themselves may not be out of place here.
The first 56 pages are contained in 43 pages of ms. These are carefully written out and paged, and in the form in which they are left may be considered as nearly representing that in which they would have been given to the world by Clifford himself.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the intricate world of masses and their distribution within various shapes and structures. It explores fundamental concepts like density, mass-centre, and moments, offering a comprehensive understanding of how these properties influence the behaviour of objects. Originating from a time of significant advancements in mathematical and physical sciences, this book reflects the era's pursuit of precise calculations and analytical understanding of the natural world. The author's meticulous approach involves dissecting complex shapes like rods, triangles, tetrahedrons, and even hemispheres, meticulously calculating their mass centres and moments. Beyond mere calculations, the book delves into profound theoretical ideas, introducing concepts like the 'swing-radius' and 'swing-conic' to elegantly represent the distribution of mass within an area. It further explores the intriguing notion of the 'null-conic' and its relationship to the distribution of an area's mass, pushing the boundaries of understanding how shapes and their properties intertwine. Through rigorous analysis and insightful explanations, this book unveils the hidden order and mathematical beauty governing the distribution of mass within objects, offering readers a deeper appreciation for the elegance and precision of the physical world.
