Riguardo questo articolo

Print on Demand. This book provides a comprehensive guide to statics, the science concerned with forces acting on stationary rigid bodies. Static principles are essential for understanding physical phenomena at all scales, from the behaviour of inanimate objects to the mechanics of living beings. The author begins by introducing the fundamental concepts of mechanics, including force, motion, and energy. Subsequent chapters delve into the composition and resolution of forces, the concept of equilibrium, and more advanced topics such as couples and the center of gravity. The book's clear explanations, illustrative examples, and insightful discussions provide a thorough grounding in the principles of statics. By mastering these principles, readers will gain a deeper understanding of the physical world and its mechanical workings. 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.

Riassunto

Excerpt from The Theory of Statics: With Numerous Practical Applications

If this measure be found inconvenient in prae tice, a more convenient method of measuring forces must be investigated, but we cannot assume weight as such a measure, because such an assumption supposes us to be acquainted with the nature of the force of gravity, when, at the same time, we are supposed altogether ignorant of every force.
