Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

Print on Demand. This book, a study of the principles and practice of exterior ballistics, is written for midshipmen at the United States Naval Academy. It covers topics such as the trajectory of a projectile in a vacuum, the resistance of the air, and the retardation of the projectile due to this resistance. The book is based on the work of two noted investigators in the field, Professor Philip R. Alger, U. S. Navy, and Colonel James M. Ingalls, U. S. Army. The book begins with a discussion of the trajectory of a projectile in a vacuum, a relatively simple case that provides a valuable foundation for understanding the more complex problems that arise when atmospheric resistance is taken into account. The author then introduces the concept of the ballistic coefficient, a measure of the resistance of a projectile to the passage of air. The latter part of the book delves into the practical methods used to compute the data contained in range tables, essential tools for gunners in accurately targeting their weapons. The book concludes with a discussion of the accuracy and probability of gunfire, a crucial consideration in naval warfare. Overall, this book provides a comprehensive and practical guide to the science of exterior ballistics, making it an invaluable resource for anyone interested in the subject. 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.…
